Hellerwork is a one-on-one process of healing and education that addresses the physical and emotional patterns which cause pain or difficulty in our lives. Each Hellerwork session addresses a different area of the body deeply and holistically; a series of 11 sessions encompasses the whole body from the superficial layers to the core.

For example, session one addresses the way a client breathes and what inspires them while working on how the chest, rib cage, shoulders, neck, head, and pelvis line up so that breathing can function optimally. 

Each Hellerwork session includes the following components:

• A check-in with the client
• Anatomical assessment of the body
• Deep tissue myofascial release (done on a bodywork table, sitting, and moving)
• Movement education about maintaining good posture in everyday life
• Conversation about the mind-body relationship

Other session themes include: ‘standing on your own two feet’: balancing the arches/ aligning the legs, ‘shouldering the burden’: releasing the shoulders, neck, and sides of the body, and ‘holding back:  releasing the deep muscles of the spine. Each session has a structural/postural goal, an emotional theme, and a movement lesson.  Together the series addresses the whole body providing an experience of the mind/body relationship, while offering clear, easy tools for improving posture in order to maintain the changes that are created by the deep tissue work.

Clients report relief of pain, a greater sense of emotional awareness, an increased ability to deal with stress and turmoil, greater knowledge of their body-mind, and a sense of grace and lightness.  Hellerwork is a wonderful modality for those suffering from a chronic pain condition, a repetitive strain injury, an emotional disorder, or a desire for self-growth and awareness.
