BODYWORK, MASSAGE & OSTEOPATHIC APPROACHES
Both online and in person
SOMATIC AND DEVELOPMENTAL MOVEMENT FACILITATION
Myra and Kerstina also offer multiple hands sessions for all ages. These are sessions with more than one practitioner.
Here we try to engage physical pathways through hands on support and increased body awareness.
PsychophysicaL Explorations, Embodiment and mindful Practices, Bodywork, Osteopathie, & somatic Movement Facilitation
Myra offers individual, partner, small group and/or family sessions in person and online.
Each session is different because each is a co-creative process developed with the person or people in the moment to meet the need of the moment. Her work is not based on a single technique or one specific model. She pulls from a wide range of experience and training to best meet each situation; mutually agreeing on a plan to address presenting needs and work towards desired goals.
Co-Creative Sessions and supervision
Myra is originally from California and is currently based in Prien am Chiemsee, Germany; often spending the summer season in Northampton Massachusetts. She can be contacted through e-mail at avedonmyra@gmail.com.
