Your body knows the way

PRIVATE SOMATIC SESSION

Hitting a plateau or a roadblock on your wellness journey?

Are you experiencing;

Tension and stiffness that won't budge
Challenges with your breath, sleep or digestion
Always in your head, trouble slowing down, constant worry, lack of focus
Stuck, lack motivation, keeping yourself small, numbing out.
Yo-yoing between highs and lows
Sense there is 'a piece missing' in your wellness puzzle
Have no idea why your body reacts the way it does

Despite your best efforts (including talk therapy), do you:

Repeat patterns that limit your peace and success in life?
Sense your body might be holding onto chronic stress and unresolved trauma?
Desire a body-based, natural approach to resolving your health challenges?
Want to address root cause and explore what lies beneath the surface?

I help adults safely explore and process the tension, emotion and sensations stored in their bodies from chronic stress and traumatic life events so they can restore resilience and be present for their lives.

Needing consistent support for complex, chronic symptoms?

Symptoms related to complex trauma history (i.e. childhood adverse events, intergenerational trauma, addictions), require consistent support over time.
A 10 week container of support is available for those needing consistent support and co-regulation.
Additional support from a licensed therapist may be recommended (referrals and collaborations with therapists are welcome).
Clients report increased self-awareness and capacity to handle stress, improved sleep and digestion, sense of agency, and increased self-kindness.
