"You are always whole, well and wise. Healing is a matter of returning to this fact. All doctors, teachers, herbs, medications, therapies, techniques, and rituals serve to bring you to your innate wisdom, health and power. Your body is your most precious instrument and worthy of your highest regard and attention."

TESTIMONIALS - PRIVATE PRACTICE
"Therese is a mid-wife of the soul. I came to her with issues in my body that I knew were related to stress at work. Her training combined with her compassion, creativity and wisdom all combined to help me land in what felt like my soul.”
“Therese is not just a massage therapist, she is a healer. She brings out my inner strength and keeps me balanced, physically and emotionally. I have gone to many massage therapists who work on my body. Therese, though, gets deeper into the center of my being and helps me revive my core energy.” Berta K.
"I am so glad Therese is finally getting this website because you could only find her by word of mouth, if you were lucky enough! And I was one of the lucky ones. She's helped me in numerous ways over the years, offering healing help to my mind and my body, and giving me tools to make health and well being happen in my life on my own." -Cathy C., Therapist
"Therese not only helped me directly, she also provided me with the tools and knowledge so that I could help myself. A friend recommended I see her regularly because I was dealing with a serious medical condition that had some nexus in stress. Initially we started with therapeutic bodywork. Then over time, she taught me breathing techniques, movement and meditation practices and then supported me in radically changing my nutrition. I wasn’t particularly well informed about such things and Therese was very good about explaining the science, theory and even the history behind thesetechniques, as well as why these tools can help in a very real and practical way. After a few months, the medical issues began to subside. Her direct help was immediately useful and the instruction around breathing, movement and nutrition has been invaluable in my every day life. Working with her was a turning point in my health." -Tom M., Lawyer
Therese’s presence, her hands on work and other ministrations was invaluable to my husband, who was dealing with cancer. She extended her care to me as well, which always gave me peace. When she would be with him, he enjoyed relief from pain. He told me that he always felt touched physically, emotionally and spiritually. We both experienced feeling deeply loved in our whole being. On his last day on earth, her calm and loving leadership helped us anoint him and release him. That circle in those final hours enabled him to have a conscious death without fear. So much love and thanksgiving to her. -Sue W.
"Therese uses several modalities to provide a truly unique and healing form of body work. Her practice helped me heal both short-term physical and long-standing emotional pain. Transformative!" -Regina A., Mother and Non-profit Executive
"I endured the most traumatic loss...the greatest challenge to my heart and soul. My beautiful son, an Army medic serving in Irag, was killed. As the darkness covered every aspect of my life, somehow I found Therese. Through painful heart spasms and tears, Therese met me and led me out of my dark basement into God's light again. Deeply listening, offering me insights, doing energy work, giving me tools to help myself, allowing me more tears, some laughter came too. Her coaching transformed me. The strength she helped me to restore to myself has allowed me to listen to and share this light with the soldiers who knew and served with my son...solider who did come home..riddled with their own guilt and sorrows. I now share in their lives with their spouses and children . More importantly we smile and laugh and none of us are afraid to remember Stephen." -Bobbi M., Teacher
