SPRING IS HERE!

And with it, a SPRING HARMONY and CLEANSING three session mini-series in Chi Nei Tsang. This includes a marvelous recorded LIVER healing/ SPRING Qigong routine as well as cleanse protocols. Our bodies, hearts and minds go through huge changes with the changes of seasons. Here in the Northeast of the US, our bodies have to shift from warming us to cooling us as we metabolize the winter. The strong winds of spring and bursts of plant life reach our skin and noses as well as our eyes. Like seeds sprouting and leaves and flowers returning, we emerge and must ready for action. Within our bodies, the liver and gallbladder are the organ system most related to spring as they govern, to a great extent, the flow of energy within our bodies, especially from the depths to our muscles and tendons. Obstructions and stagnations in our liver and energy systems can lead to irritation, frustration, and extend to anger. How to work with this? SPRING SESSIONS support all the changes happening within and especially support the liver clearing needed to meet the season and to transform irritations and anger into flow and radiant, empowered flowering. 

2026: SITE UPDATES COMING SOON  

Friends, this site still serves. However, it does not fully reflect the many clinical, coaching, educational and personal evolutions of the last 6+ years in my work as healer, teacher and coach. The new site will fully relaunch by October this year. Meantime, I’m weaving in updates here.

*****Please reach out with any questions! Free consults available to discuss working together!****

Chi Nei Tsang sessions now fully integrate lymphatic, vagus nerve and deep circulatory support (advanced CNT life pulse techniques) as well as qigong breathwork and marvelous self-care routines adapted from a qigong grandmaster physician. 

Into the amazing weave of Thai bodywork, I’ve integrated Thai Abdominal Massage into sessions (by request) and the wisdom of fascial stretching, active release technique and myoskeletal techniques for therapeutic power. 

Geo Somatics and Movement Rehab. Over the past six years, I’ve completed a depth study of gait, foot mechanics, pelvic floor/ hip rehab, spine, shoulder and neck movement somatics including progressive rehab approaches for return to sports and other high demand activities. Powerful protocols to heal! While I still bring the wonderful touch & principles of the Alexander Technique into all I do, my work now integrates a wealth of somatic and rehabilitative insights– from assessments to clinical approaches– to serve my clients.

PRIVATE QIGONG SESSIONS and Group Classes Now Available. I taught my first qigong classes 15 years ago and have practiced under master guidance for over 20. I resumed teaching after Covid  at Omega Institute the past two years– over 100 classes–and will return for several months this summer.  I also taught several workshops in New Hampshire and welcome further opportunities to share. This is a great love and passion. 

Five Powers Coaching and Healing Programs. Five Powers is a framework and coaching practice for integrating healing principles and practices into one’s life over time. I’ve developed this approach through the great wisdom traditions I’ve studied and practiced, the most current scientific research and personal and clinical experience. 

On-line Support Materials— I’ve begun building out a “Treasury” of practice supports for my clients and students– videos, audio, workbooks and links.

ZOOM SESSIONS available for Five Powers Coaching and Qigong practice. I am a late adapter on this front. However, I cannot deny that the coaching has gone very, very well online. We combine life coaching integration with meditation, breathwork, guided movement and feedback/ support for whatever you goals you currently are pursuing.  

Finally, I’m working on a book, Five Powers, Three Medicines inspired by the challenges of the pandemic and our opportunity to bring ancient and cutting edge medicine together. Best to all for a happy, creative and healthy 2026!

Sessions are designed for you.  Bring your questions, goals, life in the moment.

For More Info
If you are considering working with Geoff, definitely do it!! He is an incredibly kind, devoted, skilled and intuitive healer. I received CNT massage from Geoff regularly for a number of months, and it greatly helped to release tension, reset my digestion, and relieve pain from endometriosis. Geoff was always caring, supportive, and went above and beyond to educate himself on endometriosis and the menstrual cycle difficulties I was dealing with. I originally sought out his help specifically for abdominal pain, but our sessions together helped with much more. He works holistically and has a deep and wise understanding of the human body. I feel lucky to know a healer like Geoff!

“I first met Geoff for a Thai-yoga massage and have become his regular client when my body needs some deep relaxation. Having experienced various massage techniques, I find Geoff’s technique especially benefits my body. He understands body coordination very well which makes him different from most masseurs whom I’ve met. Recently, I began to take Alexander Technique lessons with Geoff. This practice helps me relieve a lot of tensions in my body system. Moreover, I use A.T. in my Tai Chi practice. It has improved the quality of my martial arts significantly.”

If you are looking for an amazing Thai session, look no further! I discovered Thai Massage traveling in Asia a few years back. As a yogi, I loved the combination of stretching and deep tissue work. Before finding Geo, I’d only had real general sessions– some good, some better than nothing. Geo’s are on a whole other level– he has a therapeutic approach that has helped relieve shoulder pain and an old hamstring injury that used to flare up sometimes in my yoga practice. He not only did some deep fascial work on the tissue, he coached me in making a shift in how I move to prevent injury. One more thing– Geo is one of the very few bodyworkers who brings abdominal massage into the session. Geo is very professional, respectful and personable. I highly recommend!

Computer Programmer and Yoga Teacher

“Last year I approached my first Chi Nei Tsang treatment with the attitude that I’d try one session as an experiment and then switch to Thai massage. That first CNT session was so amazing though, I’ve continued with it for the past nine months. During this time Geoff’s gentle touch has guided me to ever deepening levels of soul-body connection. He instinctively knows just where to focus in each session, gently bringing my attention to areas of my physical body and the corresponding parts of my psyche that are tight, constricted or holding back. I find Geoff to be extremely intuitive and sensitive as a practitioner of Chi Nei Tsang. In my view, he has a true healer’s touch.”

“When I came to Geoff, I was suffering from chronic neck pain. I explored several modalities but most only offered temporary relief. With his healing hands and clear communication, Geoff guided me in developing a level of self-inquiry into my own body. This has translated into a greater understanding of how to undo habitual patterns so that I can have the freedom to make choices in movement that feel good. I now feel empowered using Alexander fundamentals to shift out of pain when it arises. Geoff is a sincere, funny, and heartfelt practitioner which makes me look forward to my weekly sessions with him.”
Sharon Esdale, age 33

Acupuncturist

Honestly, I feel like these Thai sessions with Geo have a reverse aging quality to them. I feel refreshed, relaxed and invigorated for several days following each session. Part of it I know is from the incredible variety of movement and techniques in the Thai practice. I love the combination of joint movements, compression, stretching and channel work. Part is the skill and healing gifts that Geo brings. I have received and given a lot of bodywork during the course of my career. Thai sessions with Geo have been some of the very best and perfect for this time in my life. I highly recommend!

Myofascial Therapist

“I enjoy wonderful results from my continuing Chi Nei Tsang sessions with Geoff. Before embarking on my journey with this healer, I resigned myself to the belief that periodic fatigue, aches and pains were the normal realities of aging I endured while living an active life. Geoff’s skilled and intuitive use of his professional talents made a huge difference in my daily energy levels and mental acuity. He truly possesses the gift of healing touch. My unconditional recommendation to anyone committed to achieving and maintaining their best level of health and fitness would be to work with Geoff.”
Arlene, age 56

“I started exploring the Alexander Technique with Geoff for a number of reasons. First and most, I knew about Geoff’s experiences training in the healing arts and felt confident that his knowledge and loving personality would be an exceptional fit for my needs. Secondly, having dealt with a number of health issues confounded by many hours working on the computer, I needed a practice that I could use in my everyday life. Taking Alexander Technique with Geoff was a truly unique and rewarding experience in that it helped me take a proactive approach to dealing with stressful physical and mental conditions. I continue to practice it, think about it, and learn from it, even as I type. I have learned how to apply the lessons to my life, wherever it may lead me and with whatever challenges cross my path.”
Sean C., age 34

Composer, Professor of Music

I learned so much from this 8 week Qigong course and especially from Geo’s guidance of it. Geo gently pointed out that my spinal alignment was off and helped me to adjust it through the practice. He has an amazing grasp of anatomy and kinesiology and is able to tailor practice to each person’s unique needs. He gave me specific exercises to practice on my own to correct the issue and each practice pointed out ways to bring myself into alignment while we practiced.  Paying attention to these adjustments has had a huge impact on how my body feels not just during the practice but throughout the day.
I also learned a lot about how the practice unites body, mind and spirit.  Geo has a wealth of knowledge and an enthusiastic way of relating the healing effects of Chinese medicine to deepen the understanding of the practice and how it benefits overall health. The stories he shares about the forms and his own personal practice and training provide a colorful and helpful background to the practice. I have more knowledge about Chinese medicine and its impacts on the person as a whole.
