Is this Therapy? Coaching? Healing?
It includes aspects of all of the above!
My method weaves together the various Coaching, Counseling, and Healing modalities that I have studied over the last decade.
I am technically a Coach and NOT a licensed psychotherapist.
Yet, in addition to having completed the Somatica Coaching program for Relationship & Intimacy Coaching, I have also taken non-licensure track Somatic Counseling trainings, including some Hakomi, Re-Creation of the Self (RCS), and Process Oriented Psychology (Process Work), which includes Art Therapy.
I am also strongly influenced by Eastern & Indigenous traditions such as Taoism, Buddhism, Shamanism, Yoga, Tantra, Meditation, Sound Healing, Reiki, and Qi Gong.
Sometimes the work I do with my clients looks and feels a lot like somatic therapy. Other times, I may guide clients to work on less psychological, more "energetic" level using Breathwork, Yoga, Guided Meditation, Therapuetic Art & Music, and Neo-Shamanic tools like Ancestor work, ritual, or healing ceremony.
"Somatic" means body-based.
So unlike Talk Therapy, we don't spend the entire session in our heads talking!
I invite my clients to "go inside" into immersive, mindful, inner experiences where they can allow the wisdom of their bodies to guide them to heal.
In these experiences, clients are able to access their organic self and inner wisdom, and often experience powerful clarity and breakthroughs.
Additionally, my Intimacy Coaching work focuses on providing an Experiential Coaching Container for learning and practicing safe attachment, emotional literacy, communication, and conflict resolution.
Some of my clients are very serious and could use a little more playfulness in their lives! I offer Art & Music therapies, which can bring a playful but potent tone to our sessions.
