Nava's work has been the gift of exhalation to my mind, body, and soul.  The burdens of living melt in her hands as I am reminded again what it is to feel free.  Her heart for the work is reflected in the transformation.  And for that, I have the deepest gratitude.  Kamille

 

My mind has goosebumps from this.  Susan

 

Forty years ago I tore the acetabular ligament in my hip joint playing college soccer.  I experienced hip pain and discomfort for thirty-eight of those forty years until meeting Nava.  Her awareness, intuition, and skillful hands have given me the first real and lasting relief I've experienced.  I have found her to be an expert and truly caring practitioner.  I believe you will find no one better at helping you with what you need.  James

 

I was joyful yesterday to the point of singing and swinging everywhere, including the halls and elevator.  A great session yesterday.  My body is remembering how sweet it is.  Marline

 

Nava is an intuitive.  She equally uses her being and moves out of the way.  With her, you will realize that you are in fact healing yourself.  William

 

Over the last 18 years I have received regular monthly massage from a variety of therapists.  I felt great for a couple days, but the muscle tension would always return.  Nava changed my world.  Her quiet, gentle approach finds the root of where tension is stored.  She guides muscles and mind to unwind and release holding patterns for good.  She creates a safe place to let go of all that gets trapped, both physically and emotionally.  The results are long lasting and I feel a huge shift in my body and mind after every session.  It’s the most effective bodywork I’ve ever received.  Her passion, wisdom and pure artistry shine through in her work and I’m forever grateful I found her.  Rebecca

 

It’s the best ever.  Matilda, age 14

 

Nava has a gift.  I was considering quitting my job because I had severe chronic pain.  I was on a narcotic that was only masking the problem.  I saw Nava for one session and the next day my pain was gone!  I will always be thankful to Nava for her expertise and her gift.  Laura

 

I danced out of the building after my first session with Nava.  Unusual, especially as I was still in the wake of extensive cancer treatments.  The Trager® orientation toward finding ease in the body pointed up all the ways I had habitually tried to force my car-crash-torn body into place.  In the flow from Nava’s hands, my body instead went into deep energetic releases that left me feeling light, vibrant, and yes... like dancing!  The second time I saw Nava my neck had been crinked for weeks —big reduction in range of motion.  She got my shoulder socket vibrating, rotating, bouncing, I don’t even know what.  What I do know is that out that shoulder socket emerged the most concentrated essential packet of grief I think I’ve ever experienced.  Out came the primal grimace, no sound, just vibrating shoulder, and voila my neck was new.  Give yourself the gift of letting Nava put her hands on you.  She’s practicing a type of vibrational medicine.  I bow to the source of the healing gifts she brings.

I feel wonderful. I want to be this way forever. Fancy

Nava's work has truly been a blessing to me.  Her special technique and the conscious space that she holds during sessions have a unique way of freeing the body from trauma and holding patterns of tension.  I am fortunate to have worked with her on numerous occasions in a series of sessions, which has helped transform my physical state even when that seemed impossible.  I am very grateful to Nava and highly recommend her work!  Lisa

 

Nava helped me recover my wellness and my happiness.  I'm tremendously grateful to her.  Maria

 

I've been seeing Nava once a month for the past decade.  I live an active lifestyle and I can genuinely attribute faster recovery and fewer injuries to my sessions with Nava.  She truly understands her client's needs and works through the body's tension and pain with focused and tailored movements.  As a Trager® practitioner, her sessions guide and encourage the body to move easier.  I'm consistently impressed by Nava's knowledge of the body and what affects overall well-being.  I highly recommend starting a program with her.  You will feel a noticeable difference after your first session, and each one thereafter.  Sebastien

 

I have been in great pain for a few years now with a hip injury that has not healed from gentle yoga, massage, chiropractic, and acupuncture.  Thanks to Nava's presence, her remarkable listening skills, intuitive hands, and deep patience, I have received a great gift today!  I feel soooo much better after our first session!  I was even given personal practices to support my own self-healing and self-awareness not only around my injury, but in my body as a whole.  Being with Nava is like time out of time — a rich and special opportunity to heal on many deep levels with a gifted healer who lives her credo of helping to co-create new and positive possibilities for embodied physical transformation.  Thank you Nava!!!  Wali

What a journey, experience, awakening – using touch and body movement to invite the body/mind to play and experience feelings of lightness, softness, bliss and creativity focused in the present moment! I resonated with the Trager® Approach immediately as it was/is transformational for me – letting go, without effort, to experience the present moment in a new way, free of restriction, allowing the mind/body to connect to a higher level of power that transcends time and space. Nava is a master Trager® practitioner using her knowledge, words and touch to guide and explore new dimensions of reality and awareness, to encourage playful movement exploring new levels of softness, lightness and possibilities, allowing the mind/body to connect to the life force that surrounds us all. Thank you, Nava, for reeducating my body and mind on new possibilities and massively pushing out my mental/body boundaries and restrictions, opening‐up new levels of possibilities and creativity allowing me to connect to my true self!

Nava’s work is of the highest quality.  The Sophia Health Institute, which specializes in patients with extensive and serious health problems, has offered Nava some of the most challenging clients that a practitioner can engage with.  Her work there has been exemplary and has materially benefitted the progress of Sophia’s patients and their recovery.  Nava has been one of the best students I have worked with, and she is a shining example of the effectiveness of The Trager Approach.  She has taken her work successfully into the “scary bodies” category of Milton’s work. Very few practitioners work with clients at this level. Deane Juhan - Trager Practitioner, teacher, author of Job’s Body, friend & peer of Dr. Milton Trager, and my mentor & friend
