About This Method

  • Tensegrity Medicine™ is a unique, cutting edge therapeutic method based on systems thinking and complexity theory. Every individual is viewed as an interconnected ecosystem, both internally and in the context of their external environment and lived experiences. Treatment is not focused on tackling individual symptoms, rather toward creating spaciousness for system wide coherence and harmony. Symptom resolution is a naturally occurring outcome of addressing root causes.

    Tensegrity Medicine (TM) assessment and treatment utilizes biotensegrity informed relational anatomy and light touch techniques. Each practitioner of TM is singular and emphasizes skills based on their experience and personal relationship to a shared framework of fundamental principles.
