Stillpoint-affiliated practitioners offer the Alexander Technique, Self Regulation Therapy, and a variety of other modalities. The work we do goes a step beyond many conventional and alternative modes of therapy and education:

Looking beyond symptoms
In times of pain or distress, a person's focus naturally turns to finding symptomatic relief. We have many options for targeted therapies — from conventional treatments and pharmaceuticals to relaxation techniques and herbal medicines. However, physical and psychological symptoms are often important indicators of deeper underlying issues, which are easy to overlook once acute warning signs diminish. Focusing in on pain, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, or other troubling symptoms may lead us to neglect more fundamental problems, as well as their less noticeable effects. Moreover, decreasing our sensitivity to the body's signals may impair our ability to detect future problems.

Stillpoint-affiliated practitioners treat each person as an integrated whole and look beyond the immediate causes of clients' complaints. By taking a truly holistic approach, we help ensure that resolution of symptoms reflects significant, sustainable progress in body/mind wellness.

Aiming beyond neutral
We view health as much more than the absence of symptoms or freedom from distress. Our goal is ultimately to enable our clients to expand into life, experiencing greater freedom and ease in movement and an enhanced capacity for joy and connection. We look at individual symptoms in the larger context of clients' life histories, physical and social environments, and personal and professional goals.

The work we do helps to build strength and resiliency, freeing up energy that was once diverted to managing symptoms or managing the situations in which symptoms occurred. As clients grow in competence and confidence, they become better able to adapt to changing circumstances and take on new challenges in many areas of their lives.
