Hello ~ thanks for your interest in my practice. I approach bodywork as a dancer and martial artist, supporting clients to explore new pathways of movement and coordination.

Bodywork training: I was introduced to Thai bodywork in 2015 by Chuck Duff and Doug Ringwald, and in 2018 became certified through their program, which incorporates muscle energy techniques into Northern Thai style matwork. This modality, now taught by the Coaching the Body Institute, seeks to adapt Thai massage to individuals for whom traditional sequences may be contraindicated. This could include those with hypermobility, or acute injuries that may be aggravated by end-range/multi-joint stretches.

In 2019, I pursued further study in Thailand through programming at the Siam Healing Centre, and with Mikis Taguchi. The TOWARD Centre for Embodied Arts and Transformative Learning supported my studies through unexpected 9 month residence in Thailand during 2020.

Other training: Coda is a member of Triangle Aikido Dojo, where he trains in Yoshinkan Aikido. With a passion for balance and coordination study, Coda facilitates movement classes for memory care treatment facilities. He is a dance instructor with Express N Release, and a facilitator for the Living Arts Collective contact improvisation program.

What is a conditioning session? Using exercises, sequences and creative movement to explore a painful area or desired capacity. Experience with dance/movement is not required. Combined with bodywork, conditioning works to build awareness of movement patterns.
