Did you know that emotional tension = physical tension?
Do you live with any of these issues?
• Chronic neck and shoulder pain,
• Jaw pain or TMJ,
• Back pain
• Migraines
• Digestive issues or frequent feeling of “knot” in your stomach
• Problems sleeping
• Shortness of breath
• Difficulty concentrating or confusion
• Anxiety when you sit still to meditate or lie down to sleep
As a human, you hold your emotional stress and tension in your body in a predictable muscular pattern, and these unconscious tension patterns cause very predictable pain symptoms like the ones listed above. The above list is not a bunch of unrelated issues — they likely all stem from one origin.
There is a clear connection between your thoughts, feelings and body.
There is not only a relationship between your mind and body, but between each part of your body.
For example, your jaw is influenced by the freedom or immobility in your pelvis. If you have tight hips, this affects your entire spine, including your neck. If you have pain in your knee, this translates up your spine and often shows up as back or shoulder pain.
At Restore with Awareness, I use Therapeutic Massage, Craniosacral Therapy and Feldenkrais (small, slow gentle movements, while you pay attention to your physical sensations), to release your unconscious muscle tension that has kept you in discomfort for years. After a session, you’ll feel lighter, free from tension, you’ll move freely, breathe easier, and feel calm and peaceful.
You can be pain free for good. Let me show you how.

"I began working with Susan after losing my spouse to lung cancer after 41 years together and the difficult time during her illness, prior to her death. I went to her in a profound state of exhaustion and grief. I most appreciate Susan's ability to integrate her breadth of training and experience, each session and apply her skill and compassion to what I need. Her wholistic approach allows me to heal and recalibrate my system, while experiencing a revival of vitality and stamina."

“Susan has been a very special person in my life. She has paid very close attention to the issues I have with my normal 69 year-old body and has managed to find the key areas that need special attention. She has always asked what I needed most each time I had an appointment. And I always leave feeling incredibly loose and relaxed. I am already missing her terribly since she moved to CA.”
