Elizabeth Close - RMT

I aim to create a warm, safe treatment environment to support your body and mind to let go and relax. I have extensive training in a trauma therapy called Somatic Experiencing®, so if you are experiencing symptoms of trauma (anxiety, depression, chronic pain, digestive disorders), with your consent, we can work with your nervous system using gentle touch, following your body’s lead to release the stress energy. If you would like a deeply relaxing, more traditional treatment, I do that too.

I look forward to working with you. Direct billing is available for many extended health plans.
