How I Can Help

I have come to the conclusion that human beings are born with an innate capacity to triumph over trauma. I believe not only that trauma is curable, but that the healing process can be a catalyst for profound awakening--a portal opening to emotional and genuine spiritual transformation.

Resource - Anything that connects us to a deeper capacity for organization; a bridge to deeper connection. Internal and external anchors that help us feel calmer and less activated, so the renogotiation process can be managed without being overwhelmed.

The felt sense is the door to unlocking trauma. Instead of facing trauma head-on, we use the felt sense as a navigational tool, in addition to utilizing relational and counseling skills to provide a space for healing to occur.

Identifying emotions in the body:

- Eyes - teary, feel heavy

- Sweaty or clammy hands

- Sore feet

- Shoulders tense

Every part of our experience has a message, a purpose, to bring us in greater harmony, balance and equilibrium. I guide the client in exploring how to listen and feel safe within

and without of the body.
