Transform the Way You Move and Feel, and Experience All of the Energy, Confidence, and Joy You Deserve
Aston-Patterning®
Do you feel like your body just doesn’t move the way it used to – or the way you know it could?
Are you struggling with chronic pain, stiffness, discomfort, or a sense of being out of alignment that no amount of stretching, meditation, or massage seems to fix?
Maybe you catch yourself slouching throughout the day, or feel like your body is working harder than it should with every step you take.
Fortunately, you don’t have to stay stuck forever. You can unwind patterns of chronic emotional and physical issues and learn to prevent them from slowly taking their toll on the way you move and feel.
Aston-Patterning® offers a unique, gentle, and highly effective way to reset the way you move and support your body’s innate capacity for healing.
In fact, many of my clients have found that Aston-Patterning® provides the key they’ve been missing to go beyond symptom relief and address the underlying causes of chronic pain and tension, and restore a sense of balance, well-being, and harmony.
How Aston-Patterning® Can Help
Through gentle, hands-on work and movement coaching, Aston-Patterning® can help you:
Softly release deeply held tension in your muscles and connective tissue and between the bone connections
Improve your posture and everyday movement so it supports you rather than strains you
Increase ease and efficiency in everyday movements like walking, bending, or sitting
Alleviate pain related to poor alignment or compensation patterns
Enhance your body awareness so you can notice and shift unhelpful habits
Support long-term change so benefits continue long after your session
Experience a greater sense of well-being and wonder
Unlike rigid, one-size-fits-all posture methods, Aston-Patterning® is always tailored to your unique body because it is a comprehensive and scientifically-based system of soft and gentle hands-on bodywork.
We’ll start each session by paying attention to how you walk, so you can get in touch with what your body is doing as you move.
During our session, I’ll talk you through what I’m doing as I do it so you can easily understand why we are working in that specific area of your body.
Each session is tailored towards your body and what you want, and together, we’ll explore what your personal best alignment looks and feels like, without forcing you into some rigid “perfect posture” ideal.
Aston-Patterning® hands-on techniques always go with the direction of the underlying fascia. We use smooth and gentle strokes in a very sensitive manner. I’m always aware of, and working with, the layer-based, spiral pattern of a particular area and how it relates to the rest of the body. This is why Aston-Patterning® can facilitate profound, lasting change without discomfort or strain.
Nothing we do together ever goes against the grain of your body, as it would be in a typical massage. There’s no resistance or pain.
To end our session, we’ll make sure you feel comfortable walking, moving, and integrating the changes you’ve made into your daily movements, so that you feel motivated to maintain the sense of lightness you’ve learned to evoke as you float out the door.
Is Aston-Patterning® Right for You?
As a certified practitioner with over 40 years of experience as a bodywork therapist, I bring a deeply personalized approach to every Aston-Patterning® session.
My training with Judith Aston herself, combined with my certification in CranioSacral Therapy earned directly from Dr. John Upledger, allows me to integrate gentle hands-on work with movement education to create a holistic, effective experience.
But beyond any certifications or training, what truly sets my approach apart is my commitment to meeting you exactly where you are – because I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to search for real relief.
If you’re ready to move through your day without stiffness, suffering, or strain – to “stand tall,” breathe more fully, and move with a sense of lightness and ease – I encourage you to contact me, ask any questions you have, and schedule a bodywork session today.
I look forward to speaking with you and helping you release pain and tension, transform the way you move and feel, and experience all of the energy, confidence, and joy you deserve.
