We’re meant to feel connected; to ourselves, to each other, to this beautiful earth, to the true home inside us that’s always there… that’s when it feels right because we feel right. But if we can’t even find enough calm to see clearly, especially when we’re stuck in the grips of anxiety, fear, depression, confusion; if our nervous system gets so flooded we can’t think straight because our survival strategies keep getting in our way, that possibility of connection and peace seems impossible.
Understanding our neurobiology and learning how to override it, if and when it isn’t serving us in the moment, can help. Having someone who knows how to listen and reflect and collaborate can help; someone who respectfully welcomes all your parts without judgement, can help; somewhere you can put the puzzle pieces together so you can see yourself better, and understand what you need to feel whole…can help.
Our health care systems are poorly equipped to help us with multifaceted chronic conditions that don’t respond well to cookie cutter protocols. Maybe they’ve called it ME/Chronic Fatigue, IBS, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, MCS, TBI, DJD, migraine, anxiety, neuralgia, Fibromyalgia, …and maybe you have a history of trauma, neglect, depression, addiction…but the names and the treatments don’t quite fit and that’s not all you are.
What might your digestive disorder and back pain have to do with anxiety and insomnia? How can checking in with your body’s felt sense, relaxing focusing practices, diet and changes to your daily routine help fatigue, migraines, panic attacks and overall wellness? Why does cultivating present moment awareness help us heal from trauma and manage chronic pain?
I offer a unique multi-disciplined approach that looks at you as a whole person, that connects the dots, between your emotional/psychological experiences, habitual patterns, physical symptoms and the wise you underneath all that. My work has been continuously evolving for over 40 years, integrating many somatic disciplines, neurobiology, trauma therapy models, mind-body, manual and movement therapies.
- We focus on regulating the nervous system, so your body can remember how to heal, how to feel what’s good.
- We discover the why, when and how of your adaptive survival behaviors from parts that are trying to protect you when they feel threatened. We work to cultivate a calm wise adult response when you’re emotionally triggered, so you can practice pausing and choose constructive over destructive behavior.
- We restore myofascial integrity, and support a natural and dynamic equilibrium between all your body’s systems
Your body holds your history. But you determine your future by being in the present
Here, the worlds of clinical mind/bodywork, holistic health, Somatic psychotherapy, trauma and parts work models, neurobiology, therapeutic movement, orthopedic manual therapy, physiotherapies, myofascial release, nutrition, Ayurvedic and Ecological medicine meet and seamlessly creatively interact.
You don’t have to do it alone…maybe you don’t have the time, energy, expertise…but no one else can do it for you. Together we learn more about the habitual adaptive strategies and behaviors that keep getting in your way. Together we can develop a customized, personal approach to healing and find the way out of the vicious cycles so you can move forward less weighed down.
This is a creative, collaborative, in-the-moment body therapy, informed by current scientific thinking and ancient wisdom traditions.
Breathe free…Move free…Pain free
