Counseling & Somatic Therapy

Counseling & Somatic Therapy

Counseling & Somatic Therapy is similar to Spiritual Life Coaching in the ways of becoming conscious of unconscious patterns in order to move forward to achieve your desires. It also is a therapeutic process to unwind the deeper effects of developmental and relational trauma that is held in both body and mind. This is more of a bottom-up process. Meaning we listen to the body’s intelligence and its innate wisdom towards healing.

Through this somatic journey, a compassionate bridge is built, self-trust is established, self-worth is embodied, and boundaries are grounded in a healthy relationship with self.

Calling upon Body/Mind healing modalities such as Somatic Experiencing, Lay Counseling, Life Coaching, Inner Child Work, NeuroAffective Touch, CranioSacral Therapy, and Guided Meditation Journeys. (Somatic Parts/Internal Family System informed.)

MODALITIES:

Spiritual Life Coaching is a powerful way to be guided and held steady in achieving your desires. It is a process of becoming awake to the beliefs that no longer serve you and compassionate in cultivating your innate wisdom and accessing your true power. This work offers clarity of mind and peace in your heart.

Inner Child Work is a beautiful way to heal and bring compassion to the roots of adult issues by building skills for listening to and communicating with places that need to be seen, heard, and felt within you. 

Somatic Experiencing is a body-centered approach. Rather than focusing only on thoughts or emotions associated with a traumatic event, we invite the awareness of the bodily sensations that seek to repair and complete the natural cycle our bodies possess to release it.

NeuroAffective Touch is a model that uses mindful touch to heal developmental trauma by reconnecting the body, emotions, and mind. When facing abuse, neglect, or abandonment, children protect themselves by bracing and numbing. These responses decrease connection and disrupt development. This work restores connection and encourages growth.

Guided Meditation Journeys are entryways to deep states of consciousness that relax mind and body allowing you to make connections and changes.

Internal Family System is a framework that supports clients to learn and identify their “inner worlds” and the sub-personalities – like the inner child. Within each sub-personality, we hold emotions, perceptions, and belief systems, and that affect our behavior and emotional wellness. This is a wonderful tool to recognize and reconcile “their” needs to bring more harmony and well-being to one’s life.

Reiki is one of the oldest healing systems in Japan. This ancient method uses energy to balance the body, mind, and spirit. It is subtle energy from a higher dimension than the physical world and not a practitioner's energy. It comes from above, enters at the top of the practitioner’s head, flows through the body, and emerges from the hands. Ultimately, the true source of Reiki energy is infinite, transcendental, and within you.

"Traumatic symptoms are not caused by the event itself.  They arise when the residual energy from the experience is not discharged from the body. This energy remains trapped in the nervous system where it can wreak havoc on our bodies and minds". - Dr. Peter A. Levine
