In your first session we will discuss what motivates you to seek assistance and what you hope to gain from this journey.  At the start of each session we start by checking in.  Of primary importance is to identify what are your internal resources and the exceptions to the problem you are addressing.

Most sessions will include explorations that build your power of self-observation without judgement thus increasing your access to your felt sense.*  I work with you sitting, standing and or laying down, still and in movement, frequently but not always making contact through touch with your permission.  By following the body’s narrative, we will, at a respectful pace, locate what is essential and allow it to express what has been obscured and or complete what has been interrupted.

Through these explorations, you will find your internal physical base of support.  From here you will be well positioned to engage sensations, emotions and past events that have been disruptive and find resolution.  I act as a guide collaboratively setting the pace, highlighting resources and assisting in the discharge of stress stored in your body, mind and spirit.

My proposition is to accompany you using tools that help you access your innate wisdom and resources. This process is very attentive to the protective mechanisms of your nervous systems (**Porges) and respectfully acknowledges the ways you have managed up until now.

With patience and respect this process brings clarity and new perspectives.  My clients repeatedly report feeling lighter and able to move forward with a greater capacity of personal agency.

*Eugene Gendlin; “Felt sense is a special kind of internal bodily awareness… it is not an emotion nor a mental experience.  At first it is unclear, fuzzy and with attention, focusing, it forms. It is a body sense of meaning, a bodily feeling.”
