I offer consultations, private individual body based healing sessions and couple therapy. I also offer Network Spinal Analysis entrainments.
INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a radical welcoming approach to our inner world. IFS sees that just like our inner family, we have within us a system of multiple inner personalities that work to care for and protect our vulnerability and pain. These parts of us are often burdened and held within our body/mind affecting our present day reality. By getting to know these parts with open acceptance, we can assist them in releasing their burdens physically, somatically, neurologically and spiritually allowing more freedom, choice and compassion to our entire life experience.
INTIMACY FROM THE INSIDE OUT (IFIO)
Intimacy from the Inside Out is an application of IFS in working with couples.
NETWORK SPINAL ANALYSIS ™
Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) is a neurologically based Chiropractic approach. NSA uses a gentle touch at specific physical points (gateways) which initiate the body’s self-organizing wisdom. This method sponsors the body’s healing through a progression of advancement termed ‘Levels of Care’. Spontaneous healing waves initiate breath, energy and movement throughout the body which resolves injury, pain and trauma. These waves allow the nervous system to release tension and transform stuck energy into a higher level of functioning and overall health. This gentle no-force technique has been proven effective in changing physical, emotional, mental patterns of illness into healthy strategies of well-being.
NSA is often practiced in a group room environment to enhance the resonant ‘field’ effect.
SOMATIC EXPERIENCING®
SOMATIC EXPERIENCING® (SE) is a body oriented approach to healing trauma, pain, PTSD, early-developmental and attachment wounds, emotional wounds and other stress based disruptions in one’s life. Based on the poly-vagal theory it accesses where the human organism is stuck in responses such as fight, flight or freeze and has methods for resolving these physiologic responses.
The SE Approach respectfully facilitates the completion of self-protective responses and the resolution of survival patterns bound in the body. SE does not require the re-telling or re-living of the traumatic event, instead it offers the opportunity to resolve the biologic roots of the trauma. Individuals who have been locked in anxiety, despair or overwhelm find that they can relax into a growing sense of safety and ease. Feelings of hopelessness and numbness are transformed into empowerment, triumph, and agency. Somatic trauma resolution also catalyzes corrective bodily experiences that contradict adaptive postures of fear and helplessness. This reset of the nervous system, restores inner balance, enhances resilience to stress, and increases people’s vitality, equanimity, and capacity to actively engage in life.
