The Trager® Approach offers a gentle and powerful way to reconnect with your body, release what no longer serves you, and move through life with greater ease and vitality. Developed by Dr. Milton Trager, this approach is based on decades of exploration in movement, neuroscience, and medical practice. It taps into the body’s natural capacity for neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to rewire itself — and guides it toward long-term transformation.
Unlike massage or traditional bodywork, Trager doesn’t work on the muscles — it works with the nervous system. Through soft, natural mobilizations and respectful, non-invasive touch, Trager helps your brain recognize what effortless, pain-free movement can feel like — and begin to adopt it as the new normal.
Through gentle and mindful movements and touch, your body is invited to unwind, your mind to settle, and new, healthier movement patterns to take root.
– Relief of back & neck pain, TMJ, and headaches
– Relief from neurological symptoms related to Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis and more
– Rediscovering youthful flexibility and mobility for aging bodies
– Increase range of motion and coordination, nervous system regulation
– A sense of spaciousness, lightness, and internal peace
Your journey begins with a free phone consultation. This is a chance for us to connect, for you to share what you looking to address, and to go over any questions you may have.
The session itself lasts 60-90 minutes and takes place in a quiet, professional setting.
You can remain comfortably clothed as you lie on a padded table in a quiet, supportive environment. Using gentle rocking, elongation, and soft compressions, your body is guided through safe, non-habitual movements. These subtle inputs provide the nervous system with new information — inviting it to release unnecessary tension and organize around greater freedom and ease.
There is no force or manipulation. Instead, the session is shaped by mindful presence — a quality of deep listening and attunement at the heart of the approach. This intentional state fosters trust, safety, and openness — essential conditions for neuromuscular change.
The effects can be profound.

Next, you’ll be guided into a deeply relaxed, meditative state. In this state of expanded awareness, we explore the roots of your physical, emotional, or spiritual challenges.
We then connect with your inner guidance, ask your questions, and uncover insights that support healing and clarity.
You may access memories or perspectives from the past, present, future, or even other realms of consciousness.
Wherever your awareness takes you, the goal is to support understanding, integration, and transformation.
At the end of the session, we’ll take all the time you need to review your experience, and ensure you feel grounded and well before making your way back home.
You’ll also receive a recording of your session to listen to in the following days, which can help deepen the healing and insight gained.
A phone consultation is a great way to start. Let’s talk about what you’re looking for and see if a QHHT session is right for you.
