I offer a heart space for you to discover and transform wounds and blind spots through listening to the language of the body (sensations, inklings, intuitions, feelings, health conditions).
In that space, we create an understanding of your wounds and the capacity to sit with those wounds. Most of us spend a large part of our lives hiding, trying to protect, deny and shove down our wounds in various ways. In this work, we shine a compassionate light into the dark corners of physical pain, health issues, emotional patterns/trauma, spiritual questions and interpersonal difficulties with the body as our guide.
When we learn that offering presence to these places isn't so bad and that this presence can result in relief and true long-lasting unburdening, we begin to lighten our load, to integrate our pain and to transform it. The eventual result is that we find a more authentic, embodied sense of self. This can profoundly improve our sense of wellbeing, belonging, joy and aliveness. To me, nothing is more important.
Each session we enter into a contemplative embodied state in order to excavate and integrate unconscious material that is the root cause of the problem/s. We will combine talk therapy, meditation, mindfulness, Parts Work (Internal Family Systems), Nervous System regulation, and dialoguing with the body.
Im passionate about healing. I find it completely exciting and magical, though sometimes excruciatingly painful and vulnerable (so hard) of course. I've devoted my life to healing my own stuff and helping others heal theirs. I'm trained first as a yoga teacher(2005), second as a Somatic Movement Therapist (2010ish), and third through my experiences as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor for the past 10 years. If you feel like this work might help you, I look forward to hearing from you.
With Light,
