Bring care to relational wounds

Our early relationships have a profound impact on our self-worth and our ability to experience connection and intimacy as adults.  I support people who have experienced developmental and relational trauma and neglect in connecting with relational safety and a more empowered and joyful sense of self.

Somatic trauma care

• Creates a safe, loving and attuned container
• Builds skills for somatic awareness
• Helps you understand and track your nervous system states
• Teaches you about and works with your energy body
• Utilizes gentle and intentional touch
• Brings mindful attention to the sensations/ images/ emotions/ memories in your body as a portal to accessing what's "stuck"
• Meets difficult material with skilled care to allow what's no longer serving you to release and flow through
• Helps you identify and voice your needs and create healthy boundaries
• Teaches you how to regulate and soothe your nervous system

MY APPROACH IS INFLUENCED BY

Polyvagal Theory- a scientific framework for understanding trauma, the body and the nervous system

NeuroAffective Touch- an approach integrating psychotherapy with touch, supporting healing from developmental trauma and attachment wounds

Somatic Sex Education- connecting with inner wisdom, empowering choice and voice and trauma-conscious touch

Wisdom traditions and energy medicine- mindfulness, bringing attention to the energy body and transpersonal elements of our experience

I do not diagnose and treat mental health disorders or medical conditions of any kind. Instead, I work within a client-centered, positive, relational model that celebrates your strengths and uniqueness and creates space for healing, growth and expansion.
