Philosophy at Essential Balance
Corinne's practice is rooted in the understanding that each person carries a unique story—physically, emotionally, and energetically.
My therapeutic philosophy is based in the understanding that structure informs function, therefore bodywork is Essential to the Balance of the whole human. It is my belief that healing , at its core, is comprised of 3 main cornerstones: balance, flexibility, and a sense of grace as we interact with our environment, with ourselves, and with the aging process. I aim to meet clients wherever they are on their individual journey, facilitating each client's own self-healing mechanisms to achieve pain-free movement.
Through intentional touch, compassionate presence, and a deep respect for the body’s innate ability to heal, I aim to support each client in restoring balance, increasing mobility, and cultivating self-awareness.

Three Cornerstones of Corinne's Work
Balance
We should all strive to understand what it means to each of us, as well as actively gain the tools necessary to navigate towards it when we deviate. In a general sense, I view balance as an acceptance of all the parts that make us, "us". Homeostasis. because of such acceptance.
Flexibility
Defined as the quality of "bending without breaking". The ability to comeback to original form after structural, emotional, or spiritual trauma.
Grace
Through grace and gratitude we empower ourselves to embrace all that it means to simply be "us". Life is challenging, life is beautiful, and above all, life is a journey. With openness and acceptance, we can welcome its teachings and grow gracefully from them.

“Absolutely the best! I’ve been seeing Corinne for a few years and she’s helped me navigate my chronic back pain and other medical conditions. I like to say her hands speak to her. She always knows what my body needs, where the tension is coming from and how to help it calm down! I’m extremely happy that I have found her and can say she is amazing!”
- Carrie J.
“I’ve experienced lasting relief from chronic tension and somatic pain thanks to your intuitive, compassionate care. You create a space that feels both safe and transformative, where healing unfolds naturally. Your presence is deeply grounding, and it’s clear that this work is your true calling.”
- Lili G.
"I had been dealing with TMJ pain for years and had pretty much given up hope of finding real relief. After just a few sessions with Corinne, the difference was amazing. Through her intra-oral massage work, she was able to target and release the deep muscle tension contributing to my pain. Not only is she incredibly skilled, but she also creates such a comfortable, calming space. I finally feel like myself again.”
