About Trish & The Work

Originally from and professionally trained in Chicago, Il., USA, Trish was called to move to California's Central Coast in 1996 as part of her personal journey of healing and wellness.

“I have intuitively assisted others with their Healing and Wellness needs since I was three years of age. As a Healthcare Professional since 1991, my philosophies and methods have always been rooted in both Eastern and Western traditions. 

My intention is to support, nurture, educate and empower each person or people I work with. I also educate other Practitioners, having taught advanced trainings and techniques throughout the US.

Typically during a Healing Session, I offer Guidance; recommendations and suggestions for You based on what “Comes Through”; or what comes up for You, during Our Work together. You select the direction of Your Healing Experience. Particularly when Awareness has expanded or evolved beyond the initial treatment plan “blue print”.

  • Do you simply need some quiet time for Respite? We can do that.
  • Get a kink Worked Out from sports or stress? No problem.
  • Do you want to address and resolve chronic pain issues with a firm bodywork approach? Perfect. 
  • Do you need a lighter touch or a more Energetic approach? Lovely. 
  • Do you feel drawn to spiritually deeper Somatic-Emotional or Transformative Healing and Wellness Mentoring for You or for You & Your Relationship Partner? Splendid!

All are options for you.

I have been dubbed "The Tissue Whisperer". I help Your Body-Mind-System make key connections -or REconnections- that help ‘Complete Circuits’. This can help release or unwind trauma or holding patterns. Some of these can be newer patterns and some can be very old or deep. Your system may have created protective or compensation patterns. Initially, these are helpful, even necessary. But over time, they can become restrictive and limiting. This can keep us from advancing in our desired life directions or achieving our goals. In some cases, the restrictions can actually cause recurring physical injuries due to structural imbalance.

Fundamentally, My goal is to help You receive the Highest Benefit from your experience, regardless of the approach you have chosen. When applicable, I share or teach tools to Optimize Your Connection to Yourself and to Your own “Inner Healer”; whether it be through Holistic Bodywork, Multidimensional Healing or Optimal Wellness Mentoring.

I believe the Body, Brain and the vast communication between is fundamentally logical. The System oftentimes simply needs to 'undo' that which we have created In response to our experiences. Sometimes that logic may be beyond our immediate ability to perceive it, especially when multiple traumas have occurred and tend to ‘overlap’. 

But the system always knows what it needs and has a vast capacity for Healing and Resuming Wholeness. We simply listen to that Wisdom; and follow IT'S instruction.

The basis of Optimal Wellness Mentoring, Mindfulness or Movement Therapy is to simply build on the system's Wisdom, that Knowing; so that not only do You walk away feeling Revitalized and Renewed, but You have tools to use beyond the Healing session. To 'Make the Work Stick' and to help You remember that you truly DO have the ability to actively participate in your Wellness.

The session we create is specifically for You. The space, is a Sanctuary; where You can feel Safe, Accepted, Supported & Celebrated for exactly Who You Are Right Now.

We are "Partners In Healing.”
