Are you ready to EMBODY your POTENTIAL?

The name Upward Spiral first comes from the unwinding of spirals in the body that Structural Energetic Therapy® primarily addresses.  Spirals have the connotation of continuous transformation and growth; the upwards movement symbolizes moving towards our highest potential.

The mission of Upward Spiral is to facilitate clients through the unwinding of their potential, using therapeutic bodywork and educational workshops to achieve this objective.  Those who are looking for ways to make changes in their lives, who are on a healing journey to better health, will find that Upward Spiral Therapy offers unique approaches integrate the body, mind, and spirit.

Upward Spiral specializes in an advanced form of deep tissue bodywork called Structural Energetic Therapy®, in which the principal aim is to help the body achieve and maintain reasonable structural balance.  Many painful conditions originate in an imbalance in the entire structure which robs the individual of experiencing their full potential.  SET uses a several techniques to attain this objective, including Cranial/Structural Releases, myofascial unwinding, kinesiology/muscle testing, and postural analysis to name a few.

For clients who are finding themselves stuck in emotional patterns, or who desire to decrease their stress and shed whatever may be weighing heavy on them, Upward Spiral offers sessions on Emotional Energy Release Therapy. By releasing tension in the body through a process of facilitated continuous breathing, these sessions treat conditions such as such headaches, digestive disorders, chronic pain, anxiety, grief, depression, or stress.

In addition to body therapy sessions, Upward Spiral also offers writing workshops, focusing on creative writing and writing for transformation.  I have found that a writing practice has been one of my most enlightening tools in my own healing journey.  These workshops are designed for the students in mind, but will often include a blend of learning how to trust one’s first thoughts, social conscious writing, and performance.

I know there is a world where people feel supported to travel the unending road of healing and self-discovery.  It is my mission to play a role in the creation of this safe space of clarity and creativity.
