Hi, I’m Akasha. Thanks for your interest in my work.

I’ve been doing bodywork for 27 years. Throughout that time, there has been a progression of focus and skillbuilding. Over the years, my work has become more inclusive—encompassing the different layers of experience that people are working with inside themselves. Besides my practice with structural integration and helping people unwind stress-related problems, I combine IFS, attachment therapy and craniosacral therapy to help people around their patterns and the places where they feel stuck. My work has revealed that people’s bodies communicate in and with the world based on the level of emotional and physical armoring that they are holding. My aim is to support you in letting go of your unconscious patterns and having more ease in your conscious awareness.

I started my first massage training in 1998. During this time I met one of Ida Rolf’s original students and received my first 10 series. It changed my life and showed me something important around what I wanted to do. I practiced between Colorado, Hawaii and San Francisco until I made the leap in 2006 to study Structural Integration with my teacher Lee Joseph in Kauai, HI.

In 2010, I earnestly began shifting my studies to explore the inner processes that people experience while living in a body. I spent 5 years studying Transformational NLP in Marin county. In 2016, I began studying Perinatal Somatics and Attachment Therapy, which continues to be a core part of my work today.

I continue to learn in order to keep my practice relevant and on the cutting edge of healing. I have been living and working in the bay area off and on for 17+ years.
