I call the private sessions I do with individuals and couples 'Interactive Bodywork'. They integrate sophisticated bodywork, partner movement, somatic education, insight meditation, relationship exploration, energy clearing, and much more. A session is an intuitive unfolding of movement, touch, sounding, speaking, and pausing that safely invites you to go deeply into your healing process while being fully received and embraced at every level. I am a companion to you in the fullest sense, meeting you with my presence not just emotionally or mentally, but physically, with my whole body as well. How I touch and move with you invites you to safely and deeply connect with yourself, while receiving witness and support.

We set the stage, then I hold the space by inviting and encouraging your process as I witness and accompany you. You determine the direction, pacing, focus, and depth of healing that occurs. I resonate with you empathically and support you intuitively, much as your wise and loving grandmother would receive you unconditionally; holding, listening to and being with you. Accepting you completely and wanting only for you to feel deeply loved and supported right now, just as you are.

As I interact with you with whole body listening, your body instinctively responds to mine. You receive non-erotic full body contact--a nourishing touch that you likely haven't received since infancy, if then. My body literally 'dances' with yours as it takes you in, meets, and responds to your body's communications. This 'whole- body listening' is a rare and powerful way to invite you into your own experience. It allows me to be as close and supportive as possible to you without imposing anything on you. You get to take yourself in with full support.

It is my experience, and that of those with whom I work, that when one's body is met in this way by another body, it releases it's habitual contractive fear of being dominated or abandoned.

Recipients of this work experience a profoundly deep feeling of absolute safety and pleasurable well-being. The nervous system allows deep rest when sensing it is safe to trust.

“Harmony possesses a rare ability to be present, real, and clear in relationship. In her work, she refrains from the subtle projections, evaluations, assumptions and expectations that usually permeate the communications and relationships we have with each other, and that influence our self-perceptions. Harmony created a spaciousness wherein I was able to have a truly authentic experience of my self, while connecting deeply with her. The time I spent in touch with her, and in her presence, allowed me to realize that I don’t need to look anywhere except inside myself for acceptance, direction, and truth.“
