Gentle Hands-On Guidance

Sessions are done fully clothed on a massage table in a supported and restful position. Using gentle, hands-on guidance, I’ll help your body let go of unnecessary tension, promoting a sense of stretch, decompression, and balance. This process is calming, restorative, and enhances your overall alignment, leaving you feeling both relaxed and refreshed

Learning Principles for Everyday Life

More than just a technique, AT is an educational practice. You’ll learn practical principles to apply in your daily activities, helping you move with greater awareness and efficiency. A key tool is Constructive Rest, a mindful practice where you lie in a supportive position to decompress and reconnect with your body.

Guided Movements for Integration

Sessions also include guided activities such as sitting, standing, and walking, designed to help you integrate what you’ve learned. These movements improve posture, coordination, and ease of motion, whether in everyday life or specialized skills like music or acting.

“After an intense and stressful semester, I woke up in severe back pain and could barely walk. Justin’s hands-on, collaborative approach helped me release the tension causing the pain. By the next day, I could walk normally, and within a week, my back was fully healed. I highly recommend working with Justin!”

“Justin is an incredible practitioner, offering a warm and attuned presence from the very start of the session. His guidance throughout helped me to stay engaged with the AT principles and I felt like it was a collaborative interaction each time. I relate differently to my body habits since our work together and apply the learnings to support me in my other movement modalities. I highly recommend booking a session with Justin!”
