​“It was a totally different experience from a massage. I had no idea my muscles could feel so good without the traditional deep tissue pressure. Her subtle ways of moving each body part to release my muscles was amazingly effective. My body felt great afterwards.”

Coaching for Manual Therapists
Picture
 I offer a unique perspective to body mechanics that comes from my own personal injuries and my self-awareness development through Trager certification, Alexander Technique lessons, and working with hundreds of students at Bancroft School of Massage Therapy for over 27 years.  For individuals or groups.
​
60 min   $120
​90 min   $165
2 hours  $225
3 hours  $315

"I also want to thank you again for the body mechanics coaching. That pinching pain in my right upper back that I've had since becoming an LMT is almost gone.   I'm SO HAPPY not to change careers, all I want to do is massage, I absolutely love it!  Thank you!!!"

"I really appreciated the ‘mindfulness’ approach & flexibility if needed during class. The material & information was a great balance of hands-on & references of work. Linda’s attention to observing students & making recommendations was very helpful. Thank you!"

"The deep awareness that somatic work creates for both practitioner and client is THE WAY that healing work SHOULD be offered. Yes Linda, I said “should!”  ;)

What My Clients Are Saying

​​“Thank you for our first session.  I am not sure I have felt that good in over a decade.  I was so happy on my drive home and for the rest of the day as well.  I have felt a lot looser in my legs and my shoulders tend to relax faster after the session.  
​I am very much looking forward to seeing you again. “  JG
