At ShadowTree Integrated Wellness, I offer two main pillars of support: therapeutic Bodywork to help your body move and feel better, and Mind Clearing to help your inner life feel less crowded and more navigable. You can work with either pillar on its own, or combine them over time as needed.
Services
Hands-on Bodywork and Mind Clearing tailored to where you are right now.
The Barnes Approach — slow, gentle, and deeply specific work for fascial restriction.
Myofascial Release (MFR) focuses on the body’s fascial system—the connective tissue web that surrounds and interweaves through muscles and structures. When fascia becomes restricted, it can contribute to pain, pulling sensations, and reduced range of motion. In the John F. Barnes Approach, MFR uses gentle, sustained pressure and a “time element” that allows tissue to soften and change without forcing the body.
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (LDT)
Chikly Institute–informed work supporting lymph + interstitial fluid balance and whole-body regulation.
LDT is a gentle, highly specific approach designed to support the body’s lymphatic system and the movement of fluid in the interstitial space (the space between your cells). The touch is light, rhythmic, and nervous-system-friendly—often experienced as calming and “lightening” for the body.
Mind Clearing is a structured, conversational process that helps you see your own mind more clearly. It’s not psychotherapy and not coaching—there’s no diagnosis, analysis, or advice. I guide with clear questions and deep listening so you can sort through what’s real for you and feel less burdened by old loops.
Periodic small-group offerings that combine communication practices, Dyads, and Clearing-based exercises for people who want deeper awareness and more honest contact with themselves and others.
Active Isolated Stretching (AIS)
Targeted stretching to restore motion where your body keeps saying “no.”
AIS is a precise, movement-based stretching method that improves range of motion without forcing long, uncomfortable holds. It’s especially helpful for runners, lifters, desk workers, and anyone who feels consistently “stuck” in key areas like hips, hamstrings, shoulders, or ankles.
Therapeutic & Orthopedic Massage
Assessment-informed bodywork for pain relief, recovery, and functional movement.
Focused work to address pain patterns, chronic tension, and movement restrictions. Ideal for neck/shoulders, low back/hips, desk stress, athletic recovery, and persistent tightness.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Start with therapeutic bodywork if your main concern is pain, tension, tightness, or mobility. Start with Mind Clearing if your main concern is mental overload, self-judgment, looping thoughts, or a life transition.
If you’re unsure, that’s completely fine. New clients can start with the Start Here page, and we’ll choose a sensible first step.
