L. Kiri’s work is guided by a growing relationship to the realities of access - not only to material resources, but also to our own bodies, to safety, and to our personal and innate abilities to hold and heal ourselves. They believe that true empowerment is possible through bodywork; as intentional and therapeutic touch can remind us that we do know what feels nourishing for us, despite the range of stresses and traumas that life can bring about.
The body can endure so much pain - from generational trauma as well as current experiences- often normalizing and sometimes even identifying with this discomfort. Through their work, Kiri provides the space for folks to feel deeper into what feels nurturing. In a state or resourced serenity, the body can express its inner wisdom, thus communicating the ways it desires to receive support & heal.
