Touch-Based Therapy​

​​

My ability to understand complex interactions and movement in space, combined with 30 years of cultivated sensitivity through the practice of Taijiquan, allows me to read the flow of the structures and substances of the body. It gives me a tremendous sense of joy to get to use this specialized skill set to help my clients find relaxation, relief, and reformation of their body (soma) that they may not have imagined was possible.

Functional Somatic Integration

This practical manual therapy focuses on supporting clients through three main axes of their personal health: Tissue Health, Postural & Gestural Configuration, and Embodied Emotional Experience.

​

Who are you?

• You are concerned about the way your body shape is changing, you know you want your chest to open and your neck to stand tall, but you can't seem to get them to stay there no matter how much you try​

• ​You can't shake these chronic aches, pains, headaches, tingling or numbness, swelling, or other mechanical issues with your body

• You feel like you're doing all the "right" things, but you still hurt, you feel tight, anxious, or bound up

• You workout regularly, but you don't feel like your strength or endurance are improving as much as they should

​​​​

What are sessions like?

• Drop in with your therapist so they can meet you where you are today

• Expert insight gives you deep understanding of your functional body

• Skillful manipulation of your muscle and connective tissues will open up your access to movement and function, flush out stagnant fluid, and bring in fresh nutrients and oxygen, and restore healthy space to nerves

• Leave feeling refreshed and more able to move, breathe, and rest than before

• Take home practices which empower you to build the therapeutic work into lasting change at a deep level

Song Dragon Massage

This unique experience is a signature blend of Ethan's broad experiences. Combining elements and influences of Taijiquan, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, Myofascial Release, and Tui Na, this massage experience induces an altered state of consciousness through mindful touch and deeply soothing flow.

​

Who are you?

• You carry a lot in your life​​​, you are responsible for so much, and it can be hard to feel like you get enough of a reset in your busy schedule

• ​You invest in your self-care as a priority, you know that you can't take any of it with you, and what matters most is loving the life you're living

• You find yourself regularly preoccupied with runaway thoughts and ruminations, it takes you a while to get to sleep at night and let your busy brain slow down without using drugs to force the process

• You deeply value the power of intentional, caring, physical touch, and welcome having a skilled professional ease your mind, heart, and body through nourishing touch

​

What are sessions like?

• Long, sweeping strokes shift you from your narrative consciousness into rich sensory experience of your body

• Steady, wave-like rhythms and slow, calming holds allow your nervous system to drop into deep rest

• As your mind slips into a meditative, trance-like state, your whole system re-equilibrates and resets

• You can access the tranquility of a no-mind state, in a safe, peaceful environment, taking a break from the chaos
