​A MindBody session is bodywork that acknowledges every layer of you. A co-created experience that invites present moment awareness and deep listening to body-based wisdom.

​

This approach to trauma healing can reveal a map of ones inner security system, and the conditions that are necessary to greet the energy of original wounding as it shows up in the tissue. By exploring at a pace in touch with felt-sense safety and stability, we witness how the wisdom of the body might lead us to resolution. The intention is to usher lasting change for deep patterns that a person is ready to greet, feel, and move through, restoring the original blueprint of health.

 

The clients I work with are well on their path of discovery, and are an active participant in their trauma healing journey. They have awareness of their wounding, have experience working with these patterns, and have capacity, resource and desire to turn towards the body to work towards resolution. This often means working alongside a therapist, having established self-care rituals, and other layers of support for integration and healing.

Here are some things you might notice in session:

​

* We S - L - O - W - W - W - W down. Down to the speed that allows your body and your mind to take in sensation, while staying safe and present.

​

* We listen together to your nervous system, fascia, energy, interstitial fluid, pulse, craniosacral rhythm, breath, spirit, and whatever else is speaking. This is not a place to check-out, but to tune-in.

​

* We identify stuck spots - chronic or acute tension patterns that have been there for seconds, days, weeks, years

​

* We almost always witness SOFTENING. Of tissue, structure, thought form, heart. When we soften, the wisdom of life can move within and through us. When softening isn't available, we witness that. 

​

* We witness shifting between different nervous system states - freeze might thaw, then activate, then find a place of ease. Fight or flight can move and balance. Survival energy gets seen, and heard, and felt.

​

* There is no forcing, pushing, expectation, or agenda.​

​

* We invite movement. Of body, emotion, energy, sound, etc

​​​​​

* We practice inviting and allowing the comfortable and uncomfortable, and as much of you that feels safe to be seen​

​

* We aim to meet your body's innate intelligence, and following that towards balance and wholeness

​

Through touch and somatic inquiry, we greet what is here in this present moment. It's the place where healing happens

​

From this new place of balance, we can more effortlessly engage with ourselves, our loved ones, and the world in a beneficial way. We long to increase capacity and resiliency to stress and restore access to your true nature. We find space between our triggers and our reactions. We feel more awake and aware, and can respond.

​

We move through the world, and in our own bodies, with more mindfulness and awareness. From this place, old habits, patterns, lifestyle choices can shift with more ease. This is a therapy of integration.​

NOTE:  If you are intentionally working on trauma, it is recommended that you are under the care of a counselor or therapist, or have another consistent form of support to help process between sessions. I am a licensed bodyworker, and not a therapist.
