“Joshua is an incredible therapist and somatic practitioner. I have worked with him for two and a half years and his gentle yet powerful approach to learning to connect with the body has been just what I needed while going through major transitions in my life. He is grounded, down to earth and very caring. I felt held by the kind and practical container Joshua created for my healing process. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking to feel more embodied, balanced and wanting to come home to themselves. ”
