Radical Aliveness

Harmony is a gifted teacher and healer. She uses dance and movement as a door into deeper self-awareness and a more solid connection with oneself and others on the dance floor. I have had several sessions with Harmony, each of which has provided insight and healing. Not only have these sessions provided more fluidity, comfort and joy on the dance floor, they have also given me fascinating look into the deeper processes that are always going on when people dance together, and to my style in particular.Her sessions offer a combination of dance technique and awareness, blended with a deep look at the underlying processes that affect and create an individual's dance style. She suggests various movement exercises and then watches or joins to see what the client's body has to tell. Through deep and slow physical inquiry, Harmony manages to gently unearth some of the psychological processes that are underneath the nuances of an individual's movement. It is a fascinating exploration as Harmony slows the process down for a detailed look. She has a refined sense of subtle awareness of a partner's body movement, tension patterns or energy. As we dance together, Harmony inquires about details or patterns she notices. I am very happy that I did these sessions with Harmony! More...

I've been a CMT for many years and I have to say that what I've experienced in session with Harmony is completely unique. I found her body work to be great for lossening up old emotional trauma wounds and helping them heal . Her work is simular Watsu, yet on the floor. Nurturing, Safe, Intimate and helping to gently move me beyond my old limitations. Thank you Harmony!!! I will be back! More...

I attended a dance party with Harmony and I was tired and sore from a day's worth of packing and readying for a move.  I was in no shape to dance, but Harmony worked her full-contact body massage magic on me and I felt pretty good for most of the dance.  My back pain came on again later in the night and was gone in the morning.  I really liked how Harmony's style let's the receiver take as much or as little control over the massage as needed.  She intuits what is needed but also leaves space for the receiver to move around and get the exact stretch she is looking for.

Harmony gave me a lesson in quieting my mind through intense physical contact....it was hard to let go but the physical contact was constant and subtle. ....no let up and almost no talk except feedback on when I was NOT letting go. The instruction was very insightful........it hit buttons in me which I recognized, although not always immediately, and she was very effective in instantly recognizing that I was drifting. She corrected my course firmly (she is very strong) in a way that made the physical contact become the only thing that mattered.  She got my mind out of the way. When we finished I felt the blood coursing through every vein in my body - I was tingling from head to foot. I was truly energized yet calmed by the wonderful experience.So, I had another session and tried to write something else but the above describes exactly what happened again except i did not drift off as much because of my experience of the first session. If anything the feeling at the end was even more intense in terms of the relaxed aliveness.The method Harmony uses is truly unique and empowering...I recommend anyone who needs a shot of pure delight to let her body ride you.

I've received energy work and body-rolling massage (!) from Harmony for a number of years.   She basically invented this modality, which is intense, powerful, and deeply healing, on both physical and emotional levels.   Harmony has that rare combination of powerful physical AND emotional presence.   I've recommended Harmony's work to close friends, with good results also.   Strongly recommend you try a session.   It's very different than an "arm's length" massage, which is what's so unique.   Although it seems very intimate, you will find it to be completely safe, boundaried and positive to be stretched and mashed up by Harmony!
