Dear Prospective Client,

   Welcome to Shelter Island Wellness.  I look forward to working with you!

    The focus of my bodywork practice has evolved over time as I strive to more effectively meet my clients' needs.  Initially when I graduated, I practiced mainly massage therapy along with stretching.  I continue to train in three osteopathic modalities: Zero Balancing, Lymphatic Drainage Therapy and Polarity Therapy.  I typically begin sessions with one of these modalities as a focus but eventually mix in at least one other.  Each was developed by osteopathic physicians with a deep knowledge of human anatomy and physiology combined with an understanding and reverence for the body's energy and the natural ability of creatures to heal themselves.  I believe LDT, ZB and Polarity Therapy can greatly enhance the capacity to heal, live well and live whole. 

     The majority of my clients seek enhanced overall wellness, greater relaxation, increased energy, relief from chronic and acute pain and stress, help with improved posture and flexibility and improved respiration, digestion and sleep.  I also serve many clients who want to enhance their emotional, mental and spiritual wellness and seek relief from depression, anxiety, grief and feelings of emotional imbalance and stagnancy. 

     I will describe each type of work in more detail on later pages.  All can yield profound changes in physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellness.  Whether you are seasoned on the table or have never experienced the joy of professional bodywork, you will not find mindless routine here.  I will listen to you with undivided attention throughout our time together. The only sessions I offer are ones tailored to your personal goals and needs.  I hope to hear from you soon. 

Ciao and make it a great day,

Simon
