This is what gets me out of bed

It’s been said that you teach what you need to learn.

My interest in healing trauma through the body comes from my own healing journey into self-love.

I kept “finding” guides and healers who helped me realize that true healing would only happen if I included my whole self, my body, my soul and my spirit.

Not just my mind, in my healing process.

I’ve always been interested in movement, but it wasn’t until later in life that I realized I was using it as a way to inhabit the world more fully. By inhabiting my own body.

I didn’t realize there was a term for it: Somatics.

We only have access to a small portion of our intelligence and we’re trained to believe it’s all in our brain. When we learn how to tap into the body, the rest of our intelligence becomes available in a way that enables us to find solutions our brain alone couldn’t fathom.

How do we do that?

The body speaks to us all the time and has its own language. The language of the body is sensation.

We learn how to listen to this language.

Sounds easy, right? Simple yes, but not easy. That’s because everything in our culture is working against slowing down and noticing what we sense and feel.

In our work together, we’ll track your sensations and feelings and see what your body has to say about the things that bother you, whether they’re psycho-physical symptoms or life-issues.

The body records everything that happens to us, including our trauma, which can lead to symptoms or emotional issues that keep us stuck in certain behavioral patterns. Sometimes placing our awareness on our sensations and feelings in a safe environment allows for the trapped energy that holds these body memories in place to move through us and release.

This is how healing happens. It’s possible to “get over” our symptoms or issues in the true sense of the word. We don’t have to settle for learning to manage them.

If you’ve tried different forms of therapy and healing modalities, you’re ready to try something different.
