Shiatsu Bodywork + Restorative Alignment
In Chester County, PA.
Shiatsu is a form of Asian bodywork that involves the art of harmonizing Qi (bioenergy system) through the same meridian system and acupoints shared with acupuncture.
Restorative Alignment is an integration of bodywork, alignment assessment, unique protocols and restorative exercises to promote and sustain the alignment of your body.

I’m Gina Loree Bryan …
… bodyworker, movement teacher, fellow human.
In two decades of practice, as a shiatsu practitioner and a personal trainer in Restorative Exercise®, I’ve observed that not only are modern human bodies starving for movement, but for movement that is applicable to our unique lives, and makes sense for whatever stage of life we’re in.
As I entered my own ‘panoramic years’, it became abundantly clear that our needs and purposes DO change as life changes, and we need to be more intentional with the kinds of movement that will serve those needs for the next few decades.
In a culture that values youth, minimizing of effort, and its consistent messaging to expect breaking down past a certain age, it’s imperative that we find relevance for our experience, and advocate for the dynamic mobility and usefulness of our bodies.
Living intentionally through movement is an ongoing exploration, and I do a lot of exploring through my writing.
Periodically, I send out ‘gracenotes’ - missives that delve into the soul-ful relationships we embody as human movings: with our selves, each other, nature, technology, god.
I invite you to share in my resources, engage in conversations, challenge paradigms, and affirm your humanity.
