What clients say

“I recommend working with both Eric and Erin as bodywork and CranioSacral Therapy are a whole body approach to pain relief which far surpass traditional physical therapy. My sessions with Eric and Erin have allowed me to focus on life and not pain. It’s a refreshing and amazing way to live.”

“Erin was so helpful when my knee was acting up, that turned out to be a hip issue. She was so gentle… My knee and hips are feeling much better! Would definitely recommend her to all my friends and family.”

The Body Reconnect Approach:

Hands-on problem solving

In each session, we are constantly reassessing, so we know what’s actually working for you, not just what’s “supposed” to work. With healthy curiosity and commitment to finding what helps you move better, we’re always merging knowledge with creativity.

Experience-based bodywork

We pay attention to how your body responds and adjust as we go, based on what we’ve seen work. Every body is unique and cookie-cutter protocols don’t work for everyone.

Collaborative Care

You are not alone. As humans, we may have lost our village but we haven’t lost our need for connection. When you work with us, you’re an active participant in your care.

Healing the world starts with healing yourself.

When we tend to ourselves, we become kinder, more compassionate, more present in our everyday lives. That change has a ripple effect into other aspects of your life and everyone around you.

“I have never seen someone become more aware of their body without also becoming more compassionate.”
