Hi, I’m Joseph.

I help people reconnect with themselves through gentle, attuned touch—so they can finally feel safe in their body, trust their inner guidance, and experience the ease they’ve been searching for.

My path here began long before I ever placed my hands on another person. For years, I was on my own healing journey. I tried many meaningful practices from talk therapy, to long days in the mountains, endless sun salutations, and spirituality. Each one helped me grow—but none opened the door I was looking for to truly feel safe in my body.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, I truly relate.

For much of my life, I’d felt the same way. Eventually I learned that this disconnection wasn’t a personal flaw—it was an adaptation, something learned and at that point in time, needed to survive. None of us are wrong or broken for our learned coping strategies.

It wasn’t until I faced my own, that I began to see the truth of how deeply this pattern lived in me. That internal disconnection eventually affected my health. My body was asking me to finally pay attention—and learning to listen became the most essential part of my healing.

This is why I do this work now.

I believe the body holds a unique and profound ability to be worked with in its present intelligence. Through dialogue and gentle manual therapy, we create the conditions for your system to reorganize, release old patterns, and reconnect to its natural vitality.

My aim is to offer trust, stability, and a deep sense of belonging—so you can explore the subtle shifts within yourself.

I work with people of all ages and support a wide range of human challenges. I am a generalist by nature and curiosity, meeting each person exactly where they are.

Currently I am in the advanced training track at the Upledger Institute, working toward certification as part of a multi-year apprenticeship. Before this, I completed my B.A. in Holistic Education with a focus on The Inner Child, and taught elementary students in San Francisco—another place where I learned about safety, connection, and what it means to truly be seen. I have also specialized education in Touch for Health—a form of Energy Kinesiology that works with systems and pathways for a balanced life and lastly, the credentials as a massage therapist.

I love what I do and I look forward to meeting you.
