“If trying harder doesn’t work, try softer.”
—Lily Tomlin
This is a place where I believe in the power of healing through a bottom-up approach. My mission is to guide you in tuning into the body's own sensory signals, like feelings and physical sensations and use this awareness to reshape the way your nervous system reacts.
So how do I create a safe and supportive environment?
1
Respect and Trust
Think of me as your body's best friend -always listening, never judging. Your comfort is my command, and everything you share stays between us.
2
Comfortable Setting
Imagine walking into a cozy oasis with soft lighting and with or without relaxing music. It's like your body’s favorite vacation spot.
3
Trauma-Informed Approach
I handle your body with care and respect, ensuring you feel safe and in control. If something doesn’t feel right, just give me a heads-up, and we’ll switch things up.
4
Personalized Sessions
No one-size-fits-all appointments here! Every session is like a custom-made suit, designed just for you and your unique needs and preferences.
5
Clear Communication
I keep things clear and simple, checking in with you regularly. If something feels off, just let me know - no telepathy is required!
6
Professional Boundaries
I keep things strictly professional. Think of it as a “no weird stuff” zone where your comfort and safety come first.
Reminder:
As a trained professional in bodywork and somatic therapy, I am here to support you with care, presence, and safe guidance. My sessions can be a powerful resource on your healing journey, but they are not designed for moments of acute medical or mental health crisis.
