I provide somatic healing services for adults that have experienced childhood instability, grief/loss, and medical trauma. I also provide structure and process support for white-identifying people who want to cultivate their capacity for equity, belonging, right-use of power, and to respond from the heart.
For trauma, grief, and loss, I combine the Coregulating Touch modalities to build resilience in the nervous system, and the Somatic Experiencing® modality to experientially develop skills to address acute stress in daily life.
Touch sessions are offered in-person with clothed physical touch, as well as virtually with intentional touch. Most important is resonance and attunement, to create a felt sense of being cared for and a felt sense of safety. This can be conveyed through voice, and also facial expressions, which are the same for in-person and virtual sessions. Within this felt sense of safety, people may feel a down-regulation of anxiety, just as they would with an in-person session.
Other integrative modalities are Craniosacral (biomechanical and biodynamic), Healing Touch (a nurse-created modality) and Aromatherapy. All support the body, mind, and spirit as a whole in an organic way.
I look forward to supporting you toward more connection and aliveness.
