In this moment, you have choice. Act with sharper and clearer movement by accessing the most powerful organ of the body: the brain.  Create new neural pathways improving all areas of your life.


Moving Forward is about empowering you to cultivate choices in your life, whether you are a child or an elder. Clients repeatedly report feeling  "lighter", "grounded", "happier", "animated", "embodied" after a session. Moving Forward is delighted to offer these services to help you move forward in your life.  Feldenkrais Awareness through Movement® and the Anat Baniel Method(sm) are gentle non-invasive methods that offer natural pain relief. They are based on neuroscience principles using movement to send new information to the brain to reduce pain, decrease stress and create wellness. Neurovascular Integration uses neurosensory techniques to increase proper autonomic feedback and decrease symphathetic drive. Essential Mouthwork, with its proximity to the brain stem, initiates a neurological conversation allowing new neural pathways to emerge that create new response patterns of stress chemistry. East-west Psychology works with the movement of your language and belief system complementing eastern and western approaches to selfhood. My work with you includes your functional, energetic narrative of yourself in relation to others. Mindfulness training based on over 20 years as a committed Buddhist practitioner along with cognitive behavioral approaches complement my holistic approach to pain relief and wellness. Awareness is the center of my work. Awareness of movement allows for awareness of being. The outcome of this embodied practice is a powerful transformation of yourself.

...Wow, there was strength. My hips were looser, and there was power. I'm suitably impressed. I've had a horribly stiff neck for weeks, and the work with Kathrina has made me very aware of all the subtle ways I use my body that aggravate my neck condition. What is most surprising about her work, is how something can be so subtle, so entirely pain free, and yet so effective. -Miriam               


I particularly wanted help in finding an openness in my body that would allow me to find an openness in my heart. After just several sessions, I begun to sense an aliveness in my heart center, a spark that has continued to grow and that has allowed me to face several difficult decisions and relationships with strength and an open heart.            -N


I have been doing bodywork for over 10 years and have experienced many different modalities of bodywork.  I can say that Katrina Peterson has what I call “The Golden Touch”.  Her sensitivity and gentle approach go straight to the core of a problem.  With a series of slow movements and intuitive “repatterning”, pain and old trauma can melt away.  She has that rare ability to truly touch the soul and create healing from the inside out.  Her work is fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone.

I have done a tremendous amount of body work.  I have done  Craniosacral  therapy , Rosen Method body work ,  Breema  body work ,  Reiki body work,  Rolfing therapy,  Shiatsu massage,  and Lymphatic massage are a few. I can tell you that you would not want to miss out on trying  Kathrina Peterson work. There are rare and talented people that walk the earth and she is one of them.  She is both a healer and a good hearted person too.        -Jennifer

Kathrina has demonstrated time and again an uncanny talent for releasing my unuseful patterns and unconscious holdings with small gentle guided movements.  Through her work I have experienced remarkable progress in a long term disability and a profound shift in how I experience myself physically and in the world. From the perspective of a former Neanderthal, I am amazed at how much more aware of my physical self I have become throughout the day. Her gentle, quiet demeanor is consistent with her amazing intuitive access and a very loving presence.   

Her most elegant work, however, is the gentle holding in the areas of mouth, jaws, head and neck for releasing even deeper levels of unwanted patterns. Kathrina's blend of her advanced training and profound intuitive guidance has achieved amazing results in my life for which I am truly grateful.   -R
 
Kathrina Peterson is amazing.  In one session, Kathrina completely reorganized my body mechanics, giving me increased ease and freedom of movement, reducing what was almost chronic pain, enabling me to sit and stand solidly with my feet on the floor and making me feel safe & secure in my own body.  And the change is lasting.  Pretty good for one hour.   -Anne

"The work that I do with Kathrina has improved my yoga practice not only opening a mind‐body awareness, but opening my rib cage adding depth to my twists."           -Veda
