What If There Was No "Right" Way?

It seems like every self-help book, coach, and online course wants to give you the step-by-step process to fix whatever problem you have. But how can that work? How can there be a systematic way to fix something so personal? Since when did your most intimate pain become a common commodity? 

Here is the thing. No one can tell you what to do. Only your innate wisdom knows. My goal is to help you get re-connected with the somatic wisdom that's already inside of you. When you have this connection, you can more easily move through life because you feel confident, you are clear-headed, and you can access more stability and peace of mind. But you also start to innately understand yourself and what you need as a human being. Once you deeply know yourself on a somatic level and you can flow with it, life unfolds like a miracle around you. 

So much of our society prizes the mind and its logic as supreme, but by putting the mind on a pedestal, we are thrown out of balance. Not everything should be figure-out-able through logic alone. Some things need to be processed through other means than just logic or a generic step-by-step instructions. Somatic mindfulness and Energy Work is about working to unite your whole self through the present moment, allowing space for radical compassion, healing, and self-transformation that is uniquely you.

Trauma-Informed Practices

This practice is trauma-sensitive

I do not ask anyone to disclose trauma or any personal information that may be uncomfortable or painful to share.

I operate as a trauma-sensitive practice. That means that I operate on the scientific fact that most people have experienced some level of trauma in their lives and it is my goal to not re-traumatize anyone. I also humbly recognize that I am a limited human being who doesn't know what you may experience between our meetings. A person may be doing great, but after they leave the session, they may lose a beloved pet or experience a traumatic car accident. Change happens-- both good and bad. It is inevitable. Working with trauma-sensitive principles honors any life change as well as allows you to decide when and if you want to talk about it. Treating everyone in this way provides a greater sense of safety, stability, respect, and confidentiality, especially within groups or communities.

This practice is also inclusive as I understand that marginalization, oppression, harassment, and violence happen at a disproportionate rate to those who are in the LGBTQ+ community or are minorities, immigrants, females, or who do not identify with the religious majority. This is a safe place for all people regardless of how anyone looks, talks, identifies, dresses, or believes.
