Reviews
GoogleI've had several sessions with Lane over the years and so grateful for the positive benefit I get from them. She has helped me become more aware of my own body and posture, leading to less stress and tightness in the body. These improvements are both physical as well as mental, as Lane is a helpful guide throughout the process, gently explaining both body anatomy and the mind-body connection. I am able to get takeaways that I can easily access outside of the session on my own, quickly making small adjustments that help with how I carry myself through the day to day. As an actor/performer, I find my work with Lane directly leads to performances where I’m more physically and mentally present, comfortable, relaxed and natural.
Lane is a miracle worker. Even after a single session, I can feel the difference in posture, energy and awareness of my movements. And most importantly, I feel so much better after! I have a right ankle injury, and she tailors our sessions to my specific needs. That especially feels so exhilarating - to be given custom treatment for me and not just a cookie-cutter approach. I'm sure she can work with anyone. Truly cannot recommend her highly enough!
Every time I complete a session with Lane I feel taller, lighter and stronger. She has taught me that a pain or discomfort in one part of my body may be the result of a misalignment elsewhere in my body. Where Lane excels is in her somatic therapy skills. She has helped me through some difficult times and helped me to release a lot of negativity stored in me. Through Lane I have begun to understand the interrelationship amongst mental, emotional and physical health.
Lane is the best! I’ve been going to her for body work for over a year now (which is crazy to think about!) I truly find I rely on her healing hands to recenter me. Not only does she help me with body pain, but she really assists in moving stuck emotional energy in my body. If I don’t go to her for a while I always end up coming back. It’s so deeply recentering and necessary for surviving this intense city.
