When the abstraction of what’s inside us takes on more of a distinct form, we can attune with more intimacy and availability to the truth of our body in the moment.

This day-long class is for practitioners interested in learning human anatomy through both visuals and touch. Connecting structures we can look at in a model or book with what we feel inside ourselves and when touching others alters what and how we know.

We will focus on the head, thorax, diaphragm, pelvis and feet, drawing from Somatic Experiencing and Craniosacral Therapy diaphragm frameworks and will be offered as an in-person workshop as well as one online. Our time will include visual anatomy, palpation of self, partnered activities, and group discussion.

From abstraction to form, we anchor.

I've spent 28 years studying anatomy, first as an artist, then as a bodyworker and teacher of Anatomy and Physiology to massage students. Understanding the body has been a source of awe and ongoing wonder for me. My training includes Upledger Craniosacral Therapy, Barral’s Visceral and Neural Manipulation, Alignment Yoga, Myofascial Release, and Somatic Experiencing. I bring an intention of unweaving systemic oppression as I integrate these learnings into my practice. In my approach to the body, my time with Sage Hayes, readings of Susan Rafo and Staci Haines and workshops with Marika Heinrichs have impacted me most. I’m the founder and Co-Director of Threshold, a healing space in Philadelphia for queer, trans and non-binary folks. I’m a queer, white, able-bodied parent to an 8 year old, living a short distance from the Wissahickon woods. I have a cat who was born from his mother right into my hands, ten years ago.
