Come home to your body.

 

"I find Qilo's technique to be very effective and very much in tune with what my body needs in order to heal. I am noticing improvement that lasts and keeps building upon itself, like I have never experienced before. I feel that [their] calm, kind and caring presence also has a long-lasting supportive and healing effect."

~ Sylvia

I took my first anatomy class when I was 21 and it changed my life. I finally began to fill in the blank slate of my body and discover what moves beneath my skin. Since then, I've delighted in helping others flesh out their own unique body maps, particularly people in transgender and disability communities.  Though manual therapy and facilitated movement, I work with clients to address acute inflammation, chronic adhesions, sticky joints, and wonky neurological signals to decrease pain and improve function.  I invite you to come home to your body.
