ABOUT
My Approach
A unique and effective somatic approach to nervous system resilience.
My approach to healing is grounded in creating a compassionate safe and brave space for clients to gain embodied self awareness and repattern their conditioned reactions to stress through body and breath-based learning.
My Process
Healing through new experiences.
While the exact process, duration and outcomes vary depending on past client experiences, needs and goals, the work is about increasing nervous system resiliency and capacity over time while developing the life long skills of personal inquiry and compassionate curiosity.
Step 1:
New Client Assessment
Your 90-minute intake session allows us to review medical history, and your current symptoms and goals. Together we will conduct a breathing behaviour analysis and identify your unique nervous system tendencies. After our first session, you will come away with an understanding of your nervous system, customized home practices, and a new sense of validation, personal insight, and optimism for the future.
Step 2:
Follow-up
An essential next step is to follow up within 10-14 days, where we identify what's working, fine tune body-based tools, continued nervous system education, breath training, and further customization for your healing journey.
Step 3:
Personal Learning Plan
If you are looking for meaningful long-lasting change over time, consistent sessions will be recommended. I offer a variety of support plans to meet unique client needs. Customized learning sessions to repattern your nervous system may include:
-
Embodied nervous system literacy and mapping
-
Body-based self-regulation tools, grounded in neuroscience
-
Breathing behaviour retraining
-
Somatic movement and fascia repatterning
-
Somatic Inquiry
-
Trauma acknowledgement and processing
