Do you know that there is a limitless flow of energy and potential within you and outside of you? When we surrender to the flow of life, we experience harmony within and around ourselves. Our resistance to and distrust of going with that flow creates disharmony. Gabor Mate, a leading educator in the subject of trauma and addiction says that traumatic events happen to us, and the trauma is what happens inside of us; it is how we respond within. These are the moments when we close to the flow of life by creating defensive strategies to keep ourselves safe and protect our vulnerability. As adults we begin to realize that those strategies are no longer needed and are preventing us from living a fulfilling life, from feeling whole as if we aren’t all the way here.

We all need support and guidance to navigate life’s events, demands, stresses, and heartbreak while opening fully to love, joy, and pleasure. It is in relatively recent times that we are beginning to recognize the importance of mental and emotional wellness being integral to our physical health, overall well-being, and sense of wholeness. I can help!

How I Can Help

By tapping into the body’s wisdom, I can guide you to connect with, identify, and release core energetic blockages allowing your life force energy to flow freely and easily so that you may have loving connection, maintain those healthy boundaries, find your creative spark, bring joy and pleasure into your life, experience successful relationships and so on; the possibilities are limitless.

How does it work?

Core Energetics Therapy is a body-centered approach engaging in a variety of tools to support integration of the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual self. It also addresses the will, i.e. our willingness (yes I will show up for life) and willfulness (no I won’t) which I have found to be incredibly important to moving stuck energy. A session typically involves talking, feeling feelings, noticing where stuck energy is resonating in the body, movement, breathwork, and identifying thought patterns and false beliefs about the world. I also like to do guided visualizations when appropriate.

The most important piece for me is creating a safe space so that you can meet yourself exactly how you are in any given moment. This process is about bringing consciousness to all your parts and holding yourself with loving kindness, empathy, compassion, and understanding and your sense of safety is my top priority. My approach is explorative and intuitive in nature making every session unique as we delve into discovery of the unknown.

I am here to support and witness you as you remember who you are and why you are here. I look forward to meeting you!
