Lance’s Work
There is a kind of knowing that doesn’t come from thinking.
It comes from being in your body.
From paying attention to what is happening beneath the surface—
not what you’ve been told,
not what you’ve tried to figure out,
but what is already there.
My work begins there.
Not by fixing.
Not by forcing change.
But by creating the conditions where your body can be met—
with attention, precision, and respect.
Because when that happens, something begins to shift.
Not through effort,
but through contact.
Over time, I’ve found that people don’t need more strategies.
They need a space where they can stop overriding themselves.
Where sensation, emotion, and awareness can begin to move again—
in their own timing.
How I Work
Sessions are collaborative, attuned, and grounded in real-time response.
There is no single formula.
I draw from years of experience in trauma-aware bodywork, including Somatic Experiencing, Ortho-Bionomy, myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, structural integration, active isolated stretching, neuro-lymphatics, pilates, and other hands-on and movement-based practices. I ground my intuition with modern pain and neuroscience education.
But more than any one modality, the work is guided by what your system reveals in the moment.
We follow that—step by step.
People often come for physical support, but find themselves met in a way that allows something deeper to shift—how they relate to their body, their experience, and themselves.
From there, self-trust builds.
Not because someone told you what to do—
but because you can feel it for yourself.
“My session with Lance was deeply profound and moving. I felt a significant settling in my body and spirit. His work is attuned, gentle and deeply safe.”

My Path
At 25, I was living with debilitating chronic pain that had already shaped my life for years.
It progressed to the point where I became disfigured, my posture was impacted, my movement was limited, and surgery became the only option I was given.
I felt my only option was to go under the knife if I wanted to survive.
After my surgery, I realized I was facing a long and embattled recovery. I was told I would never be the same—that I needed to be careful, that my body was damaged.
And for a long time, I lived inside those beliefs.
Everything began to change when I found my way to the Florida School of Massage Therapy.
That experience reopened something in me—not just physically, but in how I understood my body and what was possible.
My recovery shifted from something I was fighting through to something I could participate in. It reopened my senses and the real possibility of a different future.
My training and my own experience with pain changed how I understand healing—and how I work with others.
Over the years, I began to understand how deeply our experiences—especially the ones that overwhelm us—shape how we live in our bodies.
The body is not just supported and healed by functional movement.
It certainly isn’t just mechanical.
You aren’t broken and you can heal.
Your body, your being, responds and adapts.
It holds patterns—and it can change.
Some of the most profound experiences occur within the delicate complexities of subtle touch. I am here as a guide, an assistant to your compassionate, objective self-realization.
I welcome you to my practice, “where all of you is welcome.”
