Nina Galin

Hello! I am a movement artist, educator, therapist and researcher, in practice since 1990. I think about healing and learning as life-long processes, and I see my role with clients/students as a skilled facilitator, witness and guide. I listen deeply to you, with my ears and my touch, to assist you in feeling yourself from the inside out. I bring compassion, curiousity and respect to our sessions, supporting you to find optimal ways to breathe and move

I am especially interested in bringing awareness to the body core, through touch, movement and verbal coaching. From this awareness we explore tranmission of movement  between core and limbs. I find it most potent to primarily address the spine and pelvis, and then follow the flows from these structures out through arms, legs, head and tail. 

My background includes Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, Pilates, modern dance and ballet as well as connective tissue massage and shiatsu. I love the experiential Body-Mind Centering work of Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, with whom I've been studying through the pandemic.

I am committed to social justice and welcome people of all sizes, shapes, skin tones, gender identities and physical abilities.

I work with all ages, and am especially experienced with elders, both strong and frail. My work is not limited to the massage table; I often work with people in beds and wheelchairs.

I work privately by appointment, and come to your home or workplace.
