Individualized Support for Body, Mind & Nervous System
At Merkaba Center for Healing, each session is guided by your unique needs, experiences, and goals.
Drawing upon more than 30 years of healthcare experience, I integrate Tensegrity Medicine™, Bowenwork, somatic awareness, nervous system education, and complementary healing practices to support greater comfort, self-awareness, adaptability, and well-being.
Whether you're navigating persistent physical discomfort, recovering from injury, experiencing chronic stress, or seeking a deeper connection with yourself, we begin by listening to what your body is communicating.
You don't need to know which approach is right for you before reaching out. Together, we can explore where to begin.

In-Person Integrative Session
Individualized Bodywork & Nervous System Support
Your body carries a lifetime of experiences and adaptations. Over time, patterns of tension, discomfort, and stress may influence how you move, feel, and respond to everyday life.
Each session begins with listening—to your concerns, your goals, and what you're noticing in your body.
Drawing upon more than 30 years of healthcare experience, I integrate Tensegrity Medicine™, Bowenwork®, gentle neurofascial techniques, somatic awareness, and nervous system education according to your individual needs.
Rather than following a predetermined protocol, we work collaboratively, allowing your body's responses to guide the session. Gentle hands-on techniques, movement exploration, and guided awareness create opportunities for greater comfort, adaptability, and connection.
You don't need to know which technique is right for you. We begin where you are.

In-Person Home Visit
Individualized Integrative Support in Your Own Space
For those who prefer receiving care in the comfort of their own home, or who find traveling to an appointment challenging, home visits offer a more accessible way to experience individualized integrative bodywork.
Each session is tailored to your needs and may incorporate Tensegrity Medicine™, Bowenwork®, gentle neurofascial techniques, somatic awareness, and nervous system education.
We begin by discussing your concerns, goals, and current experiences, allowing the session to unfold at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Home visits may be particularly helpful for individuals navigating mobility limitations, fatigue, or other circumstances that make attending an office appointment difficult.
The same individualized attention, brought into the familiarity of your own environment.
Available by arrangement in Ludington and surrounding West Michigan communities. Session length, travel fees, and availability are confirmed before booking.
Online Somatic Session
Guided Somatic Awareness & Inner Wisdom Exploration
Your body is constantly communicating through sensations, emotions, and patterns of response. Learning to recognize these signals can deepen your understanding of yourself and how you navigate everyday life.
In this individualized online session, I guide you through gentle somatic awareness, inviting you to notice the connections between your physical sensations, emotions, thoughts, and nervous system responses.
Through curiosity, compassionate inquiry, and guided exploration, we create space to recognize familiar patterns, understand protective responses, and discover resources that support greater regulation and self-connection.
There is no predetermined outcome or expectation to change what you're experiencing. Instead, we follow your body's natural pace, allowing awareness and understanding to unfold.
The intention is to help you reconnect with your body's inherent wisdom and develop a deeper relationship with yourself.
Online Session | 60 Minutes | $125
Available worldwide via video consultation.
Online Deep Dive Session
Integrative Somatic Exploration & Inner Wisdom
Sometimes we encounter recurring patterns, emotional responses, or deeply held beliefs that invite us to look beneath the surface of our everyday experiences.
The Online Deep Dive offers an extended, individualized experience for exploring the interconnected physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of yourself.
Through guided somatic awareness, intuitive inquiry, nervous system support, and complementary sound and vibrational practices when appropriate, we create space to explore underlying patterns, protective responses, and the personal meaning they may hold.
Unlike a traditional talk-based session, this experience invites you to move beyond intellectual understanding and become curious about what is happening within your body and awareness.
Each session unfolds collaboratively, guided by your intentions, responses, and readiness. My role is to listen, facilitate, and support your exploration without imposing interpretations or predetermined outcomes.
The intention is to deepen self-understanding, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and discover new possibilities for meaningful change.
Online Session | 90 Minutes | $145
Available worldwide via video consultation.
Quantum Consciousness Experience (QCE)
An Exploration Beyond Ordinary Awareness
What might become possible when you explore your consciousness beyond the familiar patterns of everyday thinking?
Quantum Consciousness Experience (QCE), developed by Peter Smith, is a facilitated exploration of expanded awareness, inner wisdom, and personal insight.
Unlike hypnosis, QCE does not rely on hypnotic induction. You remain an active participant as we use guided awareness and focused intention to explore experiences, imagery, perspectives, and insights that may arise.
Each journey is unique. Some people experience symbolic imagery, meaningful personal reflections, or a sense of connection with something greater than themselves. Others find the experience offers a different perspective on questions or patterns they have been exploring.
My role is to create a supportive environment, facilitate the process, and help you reflect on what emerges without imposing interpretations or expectations.
You are the explorer. I am here to support your journey.
Sessions are available online. A brief preliminary conversation helps establish your intentions and prepare for the experience.
Workshops & Community Education
Learning, Connection & Empowerment Through the Body
Understanding how our bodies respond, adapt, and communicate can open new possibilities for self-awareness and everyday well-being.
Drawing upon more than 30 years of healthcare experience and my background as an occupational therapy educator, I offer experiential workshops that bring together accessible science, somatic exploration, and integrative perspectives.
Offerings may include nervous system and vagus nerve education, fascia and biotensegrity, Bowenwork® self-care, somatic awareness, and practices that encourage greater connection between body, mind, and spirit.
Workshops combine practical information with guided experiences, giving participants opportunities to explore concepts within their own bodies and develop tools they can carry into daily life.
Sessions range from introductory community gatherings to ongoing educational series, small-group experiences, and collaborative workshops.
The intention is not simply to share information, but to help people discover their own capacity for awareness, adaptability, and self-understanding.
Available in Ludington, Manistee, and other locations by arrangement. Private group workshops and collaborative educational events are welcome.
The Approaches Behind My Work
An Integrative Approach to Body, Mind & Nervous System
Every individual brings a unique history of experiences, adaptations, and patterns. Rather than relying on a single technique, I draw upon complementary approaches informed by my healthcare background, specialized training, and decades of working with the human body.
These approaches are thoughtfully integrated according to your needs, interests, and responses.
Tensegrity Medicine™
A gentle, hands-on approach informed by principles of biotensegrity, fascial continuity, and the relationship between structure, movement, and nervous system responses. Sessions invite awareness of tension patterns and explore possibilities for greater ease and adaptability.
Bowenwork®
A gentle bodywork approach using specific, light-touch movements over muscles and connective tissues, with pauses that allow time to notice and respond. Bowenwork encourages relaxation, body awareness, and a more comfortable relationship with movement.
Somatic Awareness & Nervous System Education
Through guided attention to sensations, movement, breathing, and patterns of response, we explore how the nervous system influences everyday experience. This work supports greater self-understanding and offers practical ways to recognize and respond to your body's signals.
Energy, Sound & Vibrational Practices
When appropriate and welcomed, sessions may incorporate energy work, sound, and other complementary practices intended to support relaxation, reflection, and personal connection. These approaches are offered as experiential practices rather than established medical treatments.
Consciousness & Inner Wisdom Exploration
Through guided inquiry and expanded-awareness practices, we create opportunities to explore personal meaning, beliefs, and perspectives. This work honors each individual's experiences without imposing interpretations or expectations.
The approaches may vary, but the intention remains the same: to support your ability to listen to, understand, and participate in your own process of well-being.
