fewer answers, better questions.
conjunctio’s somatically based approach to somatic counseling and coaching offers you the often-over-looked perception and intelligence that you have access to as you become, and include, awareness as your entire body, making you smarter and more insightful.
within this greater capacity to perceive your current circumstances and a clear picture of how you would like things to be different—because, let’s face it, if you’re thinking about some sort of therapy, you want things to be different—you will change in meaningful ways that bring you greater pleasure and satisfaction in your day-to-day experience of living, in the relationships that matter most to you, and enthusiastically pursue what gratifies you.
with conjunctio you will:
- increase your awareness and perception of yourself, and others
- embody skills which allow you to move towards well-being, regardless of circumstances
- experience the powerful possibilities that arise when, aware as a body, you address concerns from the wellspring of your own intelligence
- deepen intimacy and learn skills to better resolve difficulties that are certain to arise in relationship
- improve mental clarity
- clarify your priorities
- generate real paths to fulfillment
- act with more focused, effective intention
- create momentum, consistency and results
conjunctio engages the dynamism of what’s happening in your whole life, day-to-day, as a vehicle to move you towards what you want.

somatic healing
your body will understand it long before your mind has words for it.
with conjunctio’s novel approach to bodywork, done in person or at a distance with easy to access tools, you will unwind the patterns that perpetuate discomfort and pain so that you feel as good you can, regardless of circumstances.
somatic education, bodywork and healing are a combination of the passive, restorative, and relaxing qualities of traditional touch therapies and the somatically-based active interventions of Zapchen. with practice over-time and in good company, Zapchen gives you greater awareness as a body and the intelligence and resourcefulness within so that you more fluently and habitually return to ease.
by bringing the clear light of awareness and the warm hands of compassion to the contractions and stress reflexes that pull your body into painful distortions of your natural, vibrant well-being, we unwind the patterns that perpetuate discomfort and pain so that you feel as good you can.
conjunctio bodywork and healing use a combination of traditional therapeutic techniques: cranial-sacral manipulation, fascial release, acupressure, breathwork, and Zapchen Somatics. these techniques are administered yourself or by your partner (in couples practice), or by a conjunctio practitioner.
with conjunctio, you will alter the chemistry that links mind and body through touch, simple movements, breath, and sound so that you:
- resolve aches, pains, and injuries
- lower heart rate and better regulate blood pressure
- feel better as a body and take more pleasure in being
- are more productive
- enhance choice and satisfaction
- notice an increased ability to be present
- access the body’s innate healing power.

conjunctio practices in the tradition of Zapchen Somatics, from motion into apparent stillness, principally from Tibetan Vajrayana tantras. this assists us in being at ease so that, moment-to-moment, we perceive energy with more subtle precision deepening well-being, increasing presence, expanding awareness, and becoming wildly more effective.
resting as openness, you will experience:

- a more fine-tuned perception of energy

these practices cultivate in you the ground of well-being so that you will:
- rid yourself of the skepticism and superstitions that surround happiness and pleasure
- build an increasing tolerance for well-being, mind and body
- expand the good feelings you already have
- be happy, not circumstantially delighted, but actually happy more of the time
- practice happiness as a social virtue
