Discover Your Healing Motion…

 

What your Session Entails

 

I am here to hold space for you while you discover your innate wisdom, restore your embodied strength, and transcend to holistic wellbeing through somatic/ movement based therapy and integrative mind/body practices.

So what is Somatic / Movement Based Therapy? This type of therapy approaches someone’s mental, physical and emotional health through the mind/body connection. Through body based practices, somatic therapy bridges the gap between talk therapy and body based, integrative restoration for more comprehensive preventative medicine.  

Somatic embodied practices can break down feelings of freeze, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, dissociation, and PTSD while also assisting with chronic pain, sleep irregularity, and symptoms of stress. It can also be a gateway to more self agency, empowerment, and nurturing resilience after a traumatic experience or while managing chronic trauma. 

Where does our journey together begin? I am here to offer restorative movement based tools and methods specifically tailored to your nervous system needs and intentions well as support you in life shifts that promote both symptom elevation and preventative measures for a long and healthy life.  Through a custom program and private sessions I will be a somatic witness and holder of brave spaces as we walk the path of restoration together.

Through an initial consultation together we can find a combination of modalities that best suit your wellness intention. Please schedule your Initial Consultation before scheduling an appointment.
