Who We Work With
We serve a diverse clientele, including students, healthcare professionals, and anyone seeking to improve their health and wellness through bodywork. The smallness of our clinic enables us to provide personalized sessions tailored to each individual's unique needs
Our goal is to get to know YOU, to help you heal, overcome, and build the life you want and how you want to feel in your body.
​
Building lasting connections with our clients is our top priority, and we take joy in working with them and their families.
Our Praxis
We recognize our actions impact the community. Intero Bodywork offers a tranquil space that honors our resources and fosters wholeness in our lives and community. With a commitment to presence, integrity, kindness, we joyfully share our space for health and healing. Our goal is to transform the culture of touch, deconstruct barriers, and learn to care for one another, embodying integrity in all we do.
Our Lineage
John & Kerri have a shared value of lifelong learning. We aspire to help our communities in every way we can.
​
Before attending Body Therapy Institute, where they met in 2008, they each had an interest in finding how they learn best. For Kerri, it was John Holt's pronouncement of non-institutional learning potential. For John, it was John Dewey's "both/and" discourse, which he learned from one of his most inspired teachers, Jay Wentworth.
​
Though closed shortly before the pandemic, the Body Therapy Institute's approach to massage therapy was based on Deane Juhan (Esalen Institute), Randolph Stone (Polarity Therapy), Ron Kurtz (Hakomi Somatic Therapy), and Tom Myers (Anatomy Trains), but our approach is more expansive.
​
Like Katy Bowman and Moshe Feldenkrais, we don't rely on fixed assumptions on what is "correct" but what provides the greatest potential and agency.
​
Our current studies include research by Bruno Chikly, Stanley Schiowitz, Timothy Spreicher, Stephen Terrell, Kathy Kain, Alaine Duncan, John Gottman, Luigi Stecco, Pavel Kolar, Andreo Spina, Diane Jacobs, Til Luchau, Leon Chaitow.
However, our two children are our greatest teachers. Hopefully we are apt students.
