Nantucket Holistic Bodywork
Through skilled hands-on assessment and manual manipulation I assist your body to self-correct from the inside. By working with the total person we can get to the underlying cause of problems which are distorting the shape and inhibiting free movement of the tissues.

My practice addresses a full range of issues such as: physical injuries, muscle pain, structural distortions, physiological challenges, emotional overwhelm, and overall stress reduction.Clients report feeling profoundly relaxed with substantial relief from their areas of discomfort. Through a series of sessions clients can gain greater insight into their life process and skills for maintaining optimal health for themselves.

Holistic Bodywork is a synthesis of polarity therapy and subtle osteopathic (manual therapy) techniques including craniosacral therapy, structural mobilization, muscle-energy and positional release techniques. Polarity therapy is a forerunner in the field of energy medicine, applying the perspective and principles of quantum physics to natural healing.
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle and subtle whole body osteopathic approach that works with the core of our being: structurally, physiologically, emotionally and spiritually. It influences the central nervous system; brain and spinal column, as well as the fluid that bathes it. This fluid is called cerebral spinal fluid (CSF).
Tibetan Sound Therapy surrounds the body in a cocoon of healing vibration using Himalayan 7-metal singing bowls and the cleansing power of Tingshas (cymbals). These tools have been used for centuries to help attain deeper meditative states and bring the body-mind system into a healthy balance. During sessions clients lie down while Tingshas and Tibetan bowls of various sizes are played on and around the body.
My Holistic Bodywork sessions may incorporate the use of Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy. I recently began using a PEMF full-body mat at the beginning of my holistic bodywork sessions to magnify the amount of energy moving through the system, increasing its capacity to heal. We can also incorporate localized PEMF applicators to direct therapeutic square-wave energy to specific sites of pain.

I have known Glen for 30 years. I have led many friends and acquaintances to this remarkable man over the years. His ability to work with his patients on an individual level , access their particular needs as a healer and , bring relief from physical and emotional pain is extraordinary. A truly fine human being who cares for his patients , young or old. The world needs more people like Glen. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you.

Not your average massage experience. Wonderfully unique and effective. Glen has a gift of healing all his own. You won't be disappointed!

I absolutely love Glen. I have trained for multiple marathons and because of him I have been able to train injury free. There were several times when I thought that I may have injured myself to the point of taking time off but it was incredible how many issues were nerve related. If I had gone to the doctor they would have given me an X-ray, a cortisone shot or put me in a brace. So many solutions in modern medicine aren’t resolving the cause of your pain. Glen intuitively reads your body and can tell the source of your ailment and manipulates your body through movement and massage to get the

I have been seeing Glen for well over a decade. He an important part of my summer experience on Nantucket. He uses a novel approach that effectively addresses both chronic and acute challenges in the body. When I first started to see him, I suffered from severe and chronic back pain...thanks to both his work and his counsel, I have been pain free for years. Additionally, he is a great resource for insight into a wide variety of topics!

I love being on Glen's table and in his presence. He is a healer -- mind, body, spirit -- of extraordinary talents. Glen was instrumental in helping me to heal from a shattered heart. He supported and encouraged transformational energy to move through me, helping me to find my joyful life's purpose. I continue to cherish being a grateful recipient of Glen's wise counsel and energetically gifted hands. Whether you are visiting Nantucket or living on the island, I strongly urge you to experience the peace, calm, and sense of well-being induced by a treatment in Glen's beautiful space!

As an energy worker myself, I tend to be very sensitive to energy and body work and am very particular about who I have work on me. Glen is my “go to” for body work to relieve delicate jaw and neck issues, something that requires a great deal of trust. He is such a gifted therapist, as well as a great teacher and resource for self care and a positive, bright light in general. Glen has always been tremendously helpful in identifying and calming down the sources of discomfort in my body and I often feel a deep sense of relaxation on his table. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Glen is exceptional at what he does, and has helped me with a diverse host of physical issues, as well as emotional ones that manifested themselves in my physical body. I have recommended him to friends and family members visiting the island for various ailments and traumas, and now whenever they come visit me they make sure they can see Glen as well. Recently, I was fortunate enough to take a workshop with Glen and the more I learn about the techniques he uses and the depth to which he understands the human body, the more I am in awe. I cannot recommend Glen highly enough. He truly has something

I've been working with Glen for about 3 - 4 months now and wanted to share my experience. When I first began working with him I was in a lot of discomfort/pain. I had never tried bodywork and was skeptical if it could help me. Glen listened to me and his bodywork immediately helped me begin to get relief. His ability to hone in on areas of the body that are hurting/not moving/need attention (often areas I wasn't fully aware of myself) and free them up was impressive and reflected his years of experience. Glen understands how interconnected the body's systems are, when he shared why he was doing

On Nantucket, with so many talented bodyworkers and healers, Glen is one of the best referrals I have ever received and the easiest to share! I live with a serious trauma injury received when I was 31. Even with what I know and following a healthy lifestyle, having a custom combination of Glen's services on a regular basis I consider preventative. His knowledge about the physical and spiritual body is applied in his work and available if you ask him. I continue to learn from Glen's sessions.

My first visit will not be my last. Glen helped me with immediate relief of stiffness and some pain in my shoulders lower back and hips. I explained only briefly what my complaints were and Glen took it from there. Very satisfied, professional and tidy space.
