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 Tenrokan Aikido Dojo and Triangle Aikido Dojo. With a passion for balance and coordination, Coda facilitates movement classes for memory care treatment facilities. He is a facilitator for the Living Arts Collective contact improvisation program and a chess coach. Connect on instagram @codabadamo

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.
