As a somatic \/ contemplative practitioner, trained specifically to treat trauma and stress, my therapeutic techniques draw from over 35 years of clinical and meditative practices both personal and interpersonal.\u00a0Combined with clinical skills, I employ Somatic Experiencing, Contemplative Psychotherapy, and decades of spiritual and somatic personal work to help reduce stress and symptoms of trauma.\u00a0I draw on my study of yoga, qigong, somatic movement and awareness practices as well as decades of body work trainings including Somatic Experiencing, Rosen method, cranial sacral, and feldenkrais practice.\u00a0I have graduated and taught at Naropa University in the Contemplative Psychotherapy department, specializing in Maitri space awareness practice, a practice of posture, color and direct experiencing of our wisdom qualities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through body-oriented techniques I can assist your journey of healing — healing being the movement of all life towards wholeness.\u00a0 The embodied response is an organic movement to wholeness and well-being.\u00a0\u00a0 Through cultivating embodied resources, we can unwind from the stuckness of old patterns that cause constriction, pain and fragmentation.\u00a0Somatic experiencing allows the body to release the bound energies of the past activating events and reclaim the organism\u2019s inherent vital life force.\u00a0 It can be so simple. Relax. Breathe. Rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
