Deep Contact (also known as Body to Body Rolling, Dynamic Interactive Bodywork, and Dynamic BodyRiding,) when viewed through the lens of bodywork, is non-sexual, full body, emotionally intimate bodywork designed to open your heart and body, and deepen your sense of connectedness. It is guided by mutual comfort and pleasure, and is informed by open-hearted listening and caring. This bodywork unwinds and releases stress, opens heart flow and builds intimacy and bonding capacity. It brings both the giver and receiver into fully conscious embodiment, creating an energized yet relaxed state of appreciative grace and deep connection. This style of bodywork also invites torso torsion and compression giving deep stimulating pressure and massage to all the internal organs .

In a session, typically 1.5-2 hours, I offer and invite receptivity through movement, body contact, emotional connection and self expression. We don't encourage sexual energy, so the charge around sex is removed. We are able to feel innocent, safe and caring with each other, and this establishes a nourishing relational 'healing field', inviting openness, connection and acceptance.
Here I am working with Jacob. Although he has Cerebral Palsy, he moves gracefully and easily with me.
Deep Contact through the lens of emotional, trauma, and attachment healing, is profoundly nurturing and deeply nourishing. You feel held, cared for and appreciated as you allow yourself to receive this touch and go with the flow of this movement. Sessions blend sophisticated bodywork, partner movement, somatic education, self inquiry, relationship dynamics, attachment style exploration, energy clearing, and much more. Each session is an intuitive unfolding of movement, holding, feeling, speaking-- and pausing-- that safely invites you to go into your healing process while being fully received and embraced at every level. I am a companion and guide for you. How I hold and move with you invites you to safely connect with and feel yourself, while receiving witness and support.
My 'whole-body listening' is a powerful way to invite you into focused awareness your own body and emotions. Acting as your skilled movement companion and guide, I support you, encouraging you to find your own way. I do not impose on you, I meet you.
When we humans are met in this way, fully supported and cared for by another human being, we release our habitual emotional and physical patterns of guardedness. We discover new levels of comfort, ease and satisfaction in relationship. Our arousal set-points down regulate, and we experience the relaxed comfort of closeness with another. New neurological pathways that support healthier, more secure human attachment patterns are built.
As you allow yourself to let go and receive in these sessions, you are likely to enjoy profoundly deep feelings of absolute safety and pleasurable well-being. Your entire nervous system can experience deep calm as it relaxes in the totally safe presence of another. The euphoria and expansiveness is deeply satisfying. You can finally feel completely whole, alive and at home.

"In deep contact in dance, you met me on levels that facilitated me to drop in more profoundly to my own full body experience of being held, attuned to, connected with, and responded to in a way that peels away layers of feeling separated from the flow of life and humanity.
