ARCHIE G. UNDERWOOD, B.A., H.H.P.
HOLISTIC HEALTH PRACTITIONER (SD#01000391)

OBJECTIVE

  Work with with positive minded beings seeking and creating holistic sources for wellness. I offer a unique perspective to therapeutic bodywork, recognizing the role of personal body awareness in healing.
SKILLS

 

By establishing a comfortable environment, engaging aware touch and movement I assist my clients in relieving painful and unorganized holding patterns in the body. This facilitates enhanced body awareness where we can explore new ways to relate to movement and “posture” without pain or struggle. Through somatic education and various stretching/movement techniques I provide clients with tools for clarifying specific issues in and out of the treatment room. I include Swedish Circulatory Massage and Deep Tissue Sculpting as an adjunct to the Rolf method of Structural Integration.

I specialize in:
• Structural Integration
• Deep Tissue Sculpting
• Circulatory Massage
