Process Oriented Psychology
It is true that Stress, Overwhelm, and Trauma of all kinds live within our bodies, as does life our aliveness and resilience. Western Psychology's typical pathologizing approach may have you feeling a need to fix or change parts of you. Process Oriented Psychology and Somatic Experiencing are mindful therapeutic processes encouraging you to orient to your internal experience and build a relationship with your body and nervous system. Instead of marginalizing these parts we learn to orient to them, building a capacity to turn towards what is difficult with the chance to integrate and complete what has been left unresolved.
​
This approach does not assume something is “wrong” with you. We acknowledge there’s information in your experience. We explore things like stress, symptoms, relationship challenges, or inner conflicts with curiosity, helping you understand what they’re pointing toward and how to work with them in a way that feels respectful and empowering. This UNSHAMING approach disrupts the status quo which demands you to be a perfectly "regulated" human. We listen to the dysregulation to begin to learn to RELATE to it.

Bodywork: Craniosacral & Somatic Touch
​
A holistic approach your body’s experience with pain. Pain, physical or emotional, causes the body to respond in contraction. This contraction is quite intelligent as the body is doing its best to create protection from the inside out, however this gets very exhausting for the body and various systems which are trying to maintain homeostasis (aka balance).
​
In body work sessions I use a variety of modalities including craniosacral and somatic touch to coax the nervous system into balance. With gentle touch, specific holding of various joints and body diaphragms, we reduce contraction and increase coherence: communication happens between systems and the body is able to let go, come alive, and engage responsively. Dialogue may be introduced to deepen your awareness and connection to your felt sense.
​
In summary this approach to healing will help you learn how to settle and release physiological activation from your body. Very often this process helps people to reduce stress and return to a sense of regulation and increase ease/flow in their lives.

Massage
Therapeutic Massage is an effective approach to body awareness, embodiment, and nervous system balance. Listening to your specific physical and emotional needs, we tailor a relaxing and therapeutic approach to healing and wellness that is appropriate for you.
