"In my self-exploration and healing journey, I've tried different therapeutic, coaching and nervous system regulation modalities. Even though I am someone who gets a lot of satisfaction by connecting the psychological dots in the mind, the true breakthrough happened when I began working with the body. I learned first-hand that emotions, stress and trauma really are stored in the body, and that the body holds more memories than the conscious mind remembers."

​​​talk session with a somatic approach: mind-body(-spirit) connection​​​​​​​​​​​

​

In this session, we’ll go beyond talk and explore what’s happening in your body. My approach taps into the present physical sensations to release old stress, emotions, and limiting beliefs that may have kept you feeling stuck. How this looks like: throughout our talk, I will invite you to check-in with your body on what's happening there, as emotions/stress are stored in the nervous system/body more than in the mind. Mind is simply trying to make sense of things and create stories - and chasing the mind (without acknowledging what's happening within the body) can keep us in the ongoing loop with limited outcomes. The degree to which a client is comfortable feeling and processing present sensations/emotions is up to the client. Meaning, I can suggest doing some somatic practices together but a client is never forced to take action on them. Often just feeling and acknowledging the present sensation - eg. sadness in the chest - is enough for emotional processing.

With an empathetic presence and strong attunement, I create a supportive space for genuine exploration. In a coaching way, I promise to ask questions to dig deeper into your topic, and help you come to the conclusions and clarity you are seeking.
