I’m Dylan. I’m just a person who wants to help you be yourself. I’m trained in the Grinberg Method, social work and my own school of life. I’m not here to impose my opinions on you, yet one thing I do believe is that life is too beautiful and the body too magical to stay stuck in our mind-made suffering. That’s why I’m here.
Guiding Principles
Body Intelligence- Your body is an incredibly intelligent system that already has everything it needs to be well and heal. The only reason you need bodywork is because your energy and attention is invested in automatic habits of attention and effort that once unlearned will naturally reorganize to fulfill your present needs.
Entering- This is an Aikido principle of moving into an attack in order to neutralize it. In this context it means that we move gently towards and through what scares us in order to release it's hold over us.
Teaching to unlearn- We can’t unlearn what we don’t know. I teach you through collaborative observation of your habits what you do automatically and how to turn automatism into choice. Some lessons are learned in a day, some take repetition.
Agency- There is no other way to become a fully integrated and free adult than by being able to make choices and be responsible for them. My central aim is to help you develop your capacity to fully participate in life.
Start a process of embodied change
A process is a minimum of 6 weekly or 2x weekly sessions where I teach you individualized lessons through the body to help you to accomplish a goal in your life. A process is more than just sessions, it is a period of time where you are a dedicated student learning how to be your body.
Initial Body Mapping Session - 80 minutes
Sliding Scale $100-125
We begin a process with a longer session so we can tailor our process directly to your body, needs and desires. I read your feet and ask questions to more accurately identify patterns.
Together we identify an aim you have in your life and look at the patterns that keep you from achieving that aim. This aim and the corresponding patterns will be the guide for our work together.
I will work on the areas of the body that are involved in the patterns to release energy and develop awareness of automatic reactions to life experience. You will learn how your posture, thoughts, emotions and behaviors are all involved in automatic responses and how to choose differently.
Standard Session - 60 minutes
Sliding Scale- $75-100
After the initial assessment we will meet weekly to continue developing your body attention, awareness of your patterns, and the energy needed to let your automatic reactions go.
Sessions will be primarily touch-based and on a massage table.
I will offer exercises for you to train your body attention outside of sessions.
Clients generally begin to feel changes in their energy and attention within the first six sessions. We will work until you’re satisfied and/or have achieved your aim.
A Note on Pricing - I want to make bodywork accessible to everyone. I work with a generous sliding scale to ensure more accessibility. If you can pay on the higher end, know that it is helping folks with lower income also get bodywork and helping me get paid :)
Work on a Physical Symptom
The Grinberg Method, the approach I work with, is effective in dealing holistically with physical issues. If you’re experiencing pain and or discomfort in your body, I can help you by working physically on the areas that are blocked and by teaching you to relax into the fear and pain so your body can heal faster. I am trained in specific techniques of touch that help with the following issues:
indigestion
migraines
headaches
lower back pain
shoulder tension
neck tension
foot and ankle pain
What People Have Said
I found my work with Dylan to be incredibly transformative. They brought a profound listening presence to all our interactions, both in conversation, and with physical touch. Their questions, and genuine encouragement to allow all parts of myself to show up, gave me space to undo patterns that had been causing me physical and emotional pain. I found the invitation to move towards the patterns of tension as opposed to away from them to be transformative. I would recommend Dylan to anyone looking for a safe and skilled support in moving towards themself and finding greater freedom in their body and heart.

“The Grinberg method was new to me and I found it to be extremely profound, a mixture of physical and emotional/mental re-organizing and learning. Dylan has a wonderful presence and guided me through some intense healing. Highly recommended!”
Simone W
“Dylan has helped me better understand who I am both through a hands-on session as well as personal support at a distance.
During our session they unearthed unacknowledged beliefs, and channeled vast amounts of energy through my arms and body in ways that I had not felt before.
At one point, they cradled my head to work on neck and shoulder tension, and I was transported to an ocean that I had floated in years before.”
Eric Y.
“The Grinberg Method is a way to next level your body awareness practice and Dylan has a particular gift. I considered myself to be quite "body aware", but my work with Dylan has led me to many new and unexpected discoveries about how I use my body and how I store and or avoid fear, anxiety, & tension. Allowing my body to naturally process and move through emotion, even unpleasant emotion, has invited a new grace and ease into my life. As noted in Dylans's description of this work, you become an active participant in the journey; meaning you also get to walk away with personalized awareness tools for how you may inhabit and befriend your body more fully. Dylan is a Grinberg ninja, if you feel called to participate is such work for yourself, do not miss the opportunity to work with them.”
Adam H.
“I’m turning 76 in a couple of months. Being in pain after surgery and experiencing a general serious malaise I knew I had to do something. Dylan has been treating me now for several months. Their treatments are having a fabulous impact. It’s been a wonderful process. I’m recommending them as a true caring distinctive healer.”
