WHAT I OFFER:

Biodynamic Somatic Therapy


Healing through relationship is one of the most beautiful and tender parts of being human and is at the core of my somatic work. My approach blends together ancient wisdom and western sciences in order to support you in learning the language of your body and becoming more deeply connected to who it is that you want to be in this world.

Trauma, loneliness, oppression, and unexpressed grief can cause parts of our bodies to get stuck in time, causing the pain we once experienced to live freshly inside of us as a never-ending loop. When this is our body’s reality, it can be hard to feel choice and freedom in our lives. This often leads to symptoms like depression, anxiety, agitation, insomnia, and chronic pain.

In our sessions, we will work together through gentle touch, mindful presence, and trauma-informed somatic guidance in order to slowly bring loving awareness to the places that have not yet felt safe enough to resolve. Together we will support the unwinding of parts that are stuck or frozen in time and graciously accompany wholeness into the present moment.

Many of the people who I work with are healers, teachers, artists, political activists, or simply people who want to engage more deeply with creating a life that feels meaningful, regardless of the norms of society. I especially love working with queer and trans folks, folks in non-traditional relationships, and folks with complex emotion trauma or C-PTSD.

My prayer with this work is to support you in finding the safety in your body that you deserve and to help you believe, on a cellular level, that you are deeply worthy of love.

It is in this slowness that we can be with the pulsing heart of what is true, and touch into the creativity, energy, beauty, and warm connection that lives within and around us.


MY APPROACH:
Somatic Intuitive Healing

is a trauma informed holistic modality blending ancient wisdom and western sciences for emotional, relational, and nervous system healing. A radical shift from traditional practitioner-client relationships, SIH fosters a collaborative partnership where we work together in a safe and nurturing environment that empowers the client and supports healing to occur. Somatic Intuitive Healing draws on Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Polarity Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Diamond Approach, and Movement/Yoga Therapy. Learn more about SIH here.
Internal Family Systems Therapy

is a transformative tool that conceives of every human being as a system of parts led by a core Self. IFS creates inner and outer connectedness by helping people first access their Self and, from that core, come to understand and heal their parts. Learn more about IFS here.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

 is a gentle hands-on therapeutic approach that supports the inherent health of the whole being. BCST uses acute perception skills to perceive the subtle physiological changes of the nervous system to assist the system in bringing itself back into balance, which supports greater ease and helps the body decrease symptoms.
