Who we are when we’re surviving is not our whole identity. When we explore and accept the many parts of who we are are, even and especially the ones we may despise and work so hard to hide, we can help them work in harmony. We map out the systems of your inner world to help us recognize connections and blocks. We define the practices, environments, and relationships that bring you back to your true nature, like refreshments for the soul. With a clear map, we can build bridges to joy, restoration, connection, and a life of meaning, vitality and peace. With awareness comes freedom from unreleased patterns that no longer serve you.

Sometimes our souls need to recover from living a life prescribed by others; it can take time to clarify your voice, but it is one of the most worthwhile things you can do. We will nurture the kind, wise, calming internal voice that exists in all of us, often silenced by the relentless inner critic. You will learn to move towards what is true and life-giving for you. Rediscover the freedom to dream and design your life. What parts would you keep? What parts would you let go of? Your voice, heart, and values will guide us in defining your goals.

Regardless of what you face in life, you can remain in the driver’s seat. This doesn’t mean you strive to always be in control. In fact, we will practice many forms of letting go. This is about relaxing into who you are at this very moment, and trusting that is enough. Less emphasis on “doing,” more “being” and trusting your worth.

Psychological pain, trauma, and inner injuries can wound our brains, bodies, and nervous systems. Yet, our bodies contain an inner wisdom to heal and evolve. You will learn to tune into what it is teaching you, in fact, pleading for you to hear. To bring whole healing, we must address how pain and emotions are stored throughout the entire system. Given you’ve been at this all your life, we will explore your nervous system functioning and encourage healthy patterns of release, protection, connection, recovery, and growth.

The power of embodied healing is that you have a felt sense of “revelations” that goes beyond intellectual understanding. We turn knowledge into practice, and practice into healthier being.

We slowly and gradually defuse the emotional charge of a trauma or injury each time we are able to revisit it in a safe space and connected state. We are not erasing or manipulating your memories. We are choosing to view them from a wiser and wider perspective today and diminish some of the triggering qualities while incorporating new learning. We weaken the power of them to haunt or wound us again and again. We can remember the pain without having to relive it every time. This enables us to reintegrate extreme experiences in a way that produces a feeling of resolution and wholeness.

I believe every person, no matter their experiences, deserves agency to choose what is best for themselves. I honor that we all have different visions of what healing and repair look like, often shaped by experience, environment, culture, and early exposures. Together, we will work on removing barriers to your pursuit of peace, which all beings deserve.
