Where We Touch

Send us Fan MailHonestly, I paused before writing and publishing today's episode . It tells the story of a session that has become extraordinary in my 30 years of practice. I have never experienced anything like it again in the 25 years since it happened. I am including it to remind myself, and I hope anyone listening, that there are moments when we are invited to step out of our comfort zones, listen to guidance or direction we might receive, and follow it. Honestly, none of us knows how your lives might touch another's.We never know how listening and responding might place us in a position of helping someone, even a stranger, to heal. New Episodes will be released on the 1st and the 15th of every month of 2026.Please share with others that might find a blessing...

Send us Fan MailMemories have an interesting way of making themselves known to us in the present moment. Our bodies remember things, even if our minds don't.Long before we have words, our gestures find unique expression; a raised chin, rounded shoulders, downcast eyes. Research in neuroscience has shown that our life experiences shape our patterns of movement, our connective tissue and our muscular tension.In this episode, we explore the fascinating relationship between memory and movement, and how one client's physical gesture became a clue to her deeper story.New Episodes will be released on the 1st and the 15th of every month of 2026.Please share with others that might find a blessing...

Send us Fan MailThis episode was written and recorded in honor of a gentleman named Robert  Levine. We met for the first time on the day before his 96th birthday. Bob inspired me to look at life through a lens of gratitude and thoughtfulness. A consummate gentleman, though he had struggled mightily in his younger life, he met each day with a sense of wonder and curiosity. I wanted his story to be published between Memorial Day and the anniversary of D-Day, as Army Private Robert Levine was a decorated veteran of World War II.  His service to our country changed the trajectory of his life forever.Many thanks to his daughters, Jane Powers and Nancy Harney, for allowing me to share his incredible story here on Where We Touch.

Send us Fan MailOur lives are defined by the choices we make and the things that we do. Sometimes, less obviously, they are defined by what we have inherited, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. The stories and words passed down through generations are held not only in memory,  they are imprinted in our bodies and nervous systems.This episode tells the story of how healing began when one client's self-compassion led him to a deeper understanding of his life. His curiosity and courage enabled him to make a powerful connection to his childhood, which created a profound emotional and physical release. New Episodes will be released on the 1st and the 15th of every month of 2026.Please share with others that might find a blessing...

Send us Fan MailThere are moments when the path we are walking on comes to a T. We are offered two completely different directions on which to travel. Go this way, or, go that way. It is a choice and sometimes it means letting go of earlier expectations and long-held, maybe unfulfilled, aspirations for our lives. When I found the courage to put down my dream of becoming a Broadway actress and chose to say yes to a new vocation in the healing arts, I was given a blessing I could never have imagined. This episode tells the story of the extraordinary gift I was given in my life and reminds me, even today, that sometimes it isn't "either/or" sometimes we are given the miracle of "both". New Episodes will be released on the 1st and the 15th of every month of 2026.Please share with others that might find a blessing...

Send us Fan MailIn today's episode, I invite you back to the classroom with me. This is the story of a scar on my body being massaged and deep waters within me being stirred. A moment when a touch in my life became a projector, quietly illuminating a long-forgotten story from my childhood. In a way, it's a meditation on scars at witnesses, the evidence of events that have literally, left their marks on each of us. It's the telling of the strange and tender moment my past rose up unbidden, not to overwhelm, but to be seen, allow healing and create a new awareness within me.New Episodes will be released on the 1st and the 15th of every month of 2026.Please share with others that might find a blessing...

Send us Fan MailIt's easy to believe that our stories live only in our minds. But the body remembers differently to the brain. We are shaped not only by what happens to us, but by what we believe about those events and how we hold them in our bodies.In this episode, you are invited to join me on the table as I learn that emotion and stories live in fascia-the connective tissue that quietly gives us form. I tell the story of how, during a massage class, I became aware that my childhood experiences left an imprint, creating patterns I was carrying beneath the surface. Patterns which were, literally, shaping my adult self.Studying massage taught me that the body, through touch, can soften, shift, and  begin to heal long-held pain.New Episodes will be released on the 1st and the 15th of every month of 2026.Please share with others that might find a blessing...
