Joy Matalon, LMT, CST, who specializes in mind-body integration and healing, and Dr. Erica Warren, who specializes in adult learning and educational psychology, are the cofounders of Drop into Your Best Self, a Putnam Valley-based practice offering events designed to cultivate one’s best self. They have three upcoming events, from 10 a.m. to noon: Resting in Your Truth on October 7, Compassion on November 4 and Embody Your Best Self on December 2.

“In an uplifting environment of cradling swings and rocking platforms, participants will have practice accessing and cultivating their best selves. Then multisensory methods help integrate new intentions,” says Matalon, who offers CranioSacral Therapy and massage therapy in Ossining and Garrison. 

These events aspire to inspire, guide and support participants in the process of becoming complete, says Matalon. They offer facilitated activities, discussions, videos and meditations to support personal growth. She adds that self-explorative journaling, imago dialogue and conscious communication enable participants to soften their ego, feel heard, build empathy and discover community. 

Matalon is certified in CranioSacral Therapy, SomatoEmotional Release and Process Acupressure and has more than 30 years’ experience in meditation and bodywork. Warren has a doctorate in adult education and a master’s in educational psychology, and 25 years’ experience teaching and facilitating with the aim of helping people maximize their potential.
