About Me
My, relevant, background:
Through Peter Levine's three-year trauma training system, Somatic Experiencing, I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner-in-training
I am…
A Somatic Touch Therapist through Kathy Kain’s Touch Skills for Trauma Therapists
A certified couples coach through the Center for Thriving Relationships
Somatically-based Attachment theory educated
A polyvagal theory student
Non-dual philosophy informed
I practice somatic artwork and am an avid gardener and orchardist
I have a background in herbalism, energy medicine, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), editing, entrepreneurship, business, regenerative agriculture, and have studied with spiritual teachers of many modalities in an ongoing attempt to understand life.
Through a life of varied endeavors and even more interests, I arrived in my Somatic Experiencing three-year training program ready to face the challenges of life head on and to help others do so as well. In this work, I have found not only my own increased self-regulation but the knowledge and ability to help others find greater ease, happiness, improved enjoyment of life and joy in relationships. Through working in the Somatic Experiencing model we become aware of false beliefs about ourselves and the world while becoming free of self-limiting ideas of who we are. Functionally, the release of stored survival physiology creates a sense of awakening and newness while the possibilities of life open. We move into life with greater ease, enjoyment and connection—to ourselves and others.
“An unacknowledged trauma is like a wound that never heals over and may start to bleed again at any time.”
— Alice Miller, author, Drama of the Gifted Child
I can help you.…
Create Loving Relationships
When our nervous system becomes more regulated, we are able to ride the wave of life’s ups and downs with greater ease. This allows us to create the kinds of rich relationships we have been seeking.
Gain Self-Awareness/Self-Love
As we release trapped energy in our bodies and work through self-limiting feelings and behaviors, we bring compassion and understanding to our mysterious selves. We begin to understand that we have made sense all along.
Build Capacity
As we release the negative energy of our past selves, we become aware somatically of how our body-mind system meets challenges in the present moment. This increases our capacity to hold life where it is lived—in the present moment awareness.
