Confidence arises from a body that feels safe to be in.
Each of us has had different experiences with touch throughout our lives. Some of us didn’t get touched enough, some of us were touched in all the wrong ways. Due to our experiences of touch, or lack thereof, some of us have developed a relationship with our bodies that can feel constrictive, painful, or non-existent.
There is something immensely intriguing about the body, mind, and spirit functioning in harmony with itself. By shifting the energy that had previously been feeding old, defunct patterns towards a more organizing and expansive pathway, we begin to adjust the way we move through the world and discover more ease. Helping others find peace in their body, and purpose in their lives is a deep joy for me and has led me to a natural weaving of different healing techniques, primarily energy work and somatic therapy. The scope of this practice is both beneficial for short-term relief and long-term growth. Through healing words, healing touch, and healing energies we can find the ways our being is asking us to come home to ourselves, again and again.
ThetaHealing®
ThetaHealing® is a type of energy work created by Vianna Stibel in the 1970’s. It involves a meditative technique in which the practitioner enters a theta brainwave, the brainwave we dream in. This allows the practitioner to assist the client in the realm of the unconscious, truly working as neuroplasticity in action. Unwinding the old, detrimental pathways of the mind and planting seeds for a more enlivened, oriented, and full experience of being alive. More information can be found at ThetaHealing.com
Organic Intelligence®
Organic Intelligence® in the unwinding of the maladaptive effects that our experience (or lack thereof) that life can place on the body. It gives us back the ability to be flexible, free, and connected to the the real-time present moment. This work is done both in the container of touch-work, and a “free association conversation” that takes the negative reinforcement model of “it has to feel worse before it feels better,” and asks the question “how does feeling better organize my being?” Founded and taught by Steve Hoskinson, more information about this Trauma Safe™ method of somatic therapy can be found at OrganicIntelligence.org
Somatic Touch Skills for Trauma
Taught by Kathy Kain of Somatic Practice (somaticpractice.net). Somatic touch is a way using what we call “somatic awareness” to help support the client’s nervous system. Using my attention in concert with the client’s we can touch into skin, fascia, muscle, bone and even the organs of the body; most often the kidneys and the GI, to facilitate a bottom-up approach that helps to inform the body and brain in tandem that the organism is safe. That any trauma we may have experienced is past, and we are free to be present and in the moment; without bracing, hypervigilance, or previous constriction. Working even through the medium of phone or video sessions, it’s an opportunity to hold and help restore homeostasis to not only the nervous system; but also to areas of the body in which trauma has been held or stored over the years.
Pricing
All sessions are unique to the individual needs of the client, each time we meet. All of these modalities are woven together to form a cohesive session in order to allow for the client to steadily move towards the most loving and integrated version of themselves. Bringing our natural connection to both the divine and the earth to the forefront of experience, integrating the mystic into and through the body so that we can move throughout the world more truly ourselves, within a physiology that is sustainable; even in times of stress.
20 minute consultation- Free 60 minutes-$175 90 minutes-$240 120 minutes-$300
If you feel like you are coming in with particularly heavy burden or topic, we may requite more time than just 60 minutes in order to cover everything and get you into the best space possible before finishing up. I like to be very mindful that the client has time and space to land, orient, and feels comfortable heading out into the world following our time together. If cost is an issue, please let me know and we can chat to work out a sliding scale or something similar. I am currently only offering remote sessions.
