Huma Transpersonal Bodywork is about awareness. It is based on the knowledge that the body is one with the psyche. As this integrated hands-on and verbal method eases constriction in the body, that which is authentic in the client’s experience comes into awareness. It is a source of inner guidance in navigating the contradictory inner and outer demands we face.

When the core level of the body is contacted, there is a shift from the physical to the energetic. Ultimately, it is this central channel of energy which the practitioner seeks to contact. When this happens, the client may experience a deep level of the self. This experience manifests differently, but what is universal about it is a feeling of tranquility. This is the Transpersonal place.

What is unique about this method is that it contacts the physical/psychological level and also reaches beyond that to the energetic/transpersonal.
