Gentle Medicine

My clients are often more sensitive than the typical population. For folks like us, a gentle, steady, and foundational approach is required, in order to not overwhelm the body, while continuing to move forward with healing.

As a sensitive person myself, I know what it’s like to be afraid of practitioners and treatments that might make me more sick. I am skilled at providing a slow drip, if that’s what’s needed at first, knowing that the methods that I use improve your overall resilience and reduce sensitivities in the long run.

I know how to read the language of symptoms that your body expresses itself with. And I have a LOT of patience. I support people in moving at whatever pace their bodies can handle. Sometimes this can be very slow and incremental. But the time spent in rebuilding the foundation this way is unequivocally worthwhile.

Ultimately, this work is a path that emphasizes slowness, sustainability, incremental adjustments, deep listening, foundation rebuilding, and small shifts that lead to big results.

Most of us are looking for the Big Bang, hit-you-over-the-head healing. But if your health issues are deeply rooted — and especially so if you’re a sensitive human — slow and sustainable healing and rebuilding has its own quiet power.

We move at the pace of your body and what it can handle.

If you've ever had a "healing crisis," a Herxheimer reaction, or the like, you'll know that these can actually do more harm than good. For someone whose health already compromised, these kinds of reactions cause more stress to an overburdened system. My work is to help you lighten your load and to minimize these kinds of reactions, and to know how to handle them when they do happen. I believe that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and strive to avoid these reactions from occurring in the first place. This is nuanced work that requires close communication, as well as patience and restraint.

For us sensitive souls, gentle and slow is the way to go!
