At the initial appointment we will discuss your present concerns, history, and goals for treatment. I’ll send you intake forms before the session for completion at your convenience. All information exchanged is confidential.

Sessions are 75 minutes long and the fee is $100. I can reduce to $75 for folks with limited income. Payment can be by cash, check, or Venmo. 

BCST employs light non-manipulative touch, and is done on a massage table, with the recipient comfortably clothed. Sessions can be adapted to a chair if needed. I can also do sessions remotely, if you are not able to come in to the office.

Healing/moving toward greater wholeness is a process that is aways trying to happen. In a session we tap into that self-corrective imperative of the body and its priority of the moment, and support and facilitate it. Old imprints of traumas dissolve, habitual patterns of holding and tension become untethered, and new awarenesses of self and body emerge.

BCST is an immersive modality, and you may have a range of experiences during a session. These include: deep relaxation; sensations of warmth, tingling, or vibration; feelings of heaviness, lightness, or spaciousness; dream states; visual, auditory, proprioceptive, or kinesthetic images; and awareness of energy moving and shifting in your body. It is ideal to plan some quiet time following the session to relax and integrate your experience. See Integration
