I work with clients who are ready to heal their childhood wounds because they no longer want to live disconnected from the spark of life.
I am a certified Co-Active Coach, IFS and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Somatic Experiencing® (SE) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) are both therapeutic modalities that help resolve trauma to bring your entire system into balance and presence.
SE is a body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma and other stress disorders. It begins with grounding in the body and then allowing the body to speak through sensations, images, movements it spontaneously makes including quality of breath, emotions that emerge and and connections made to meaning. Allowing space for all of this enables the body to spontaneously release trapped trauma energy.
IFS is a healing approach that identifies and addresses multiple sub-personalities or families within each person’s mental system. These sub-personalities consist of wounded parts and painful emotions such as anger and shame, and parts that try to control and protect the person from the pain of the wounded parts. The sub-personalities are often in conflict with each other and with one’s core Self – a concept that describes the confident, compassionate, whole person that is at the core of every individual. IFS focuses on healing the wounded parts and restoring mental balance and harmony by changing the dynamics that create discord among the sub-personalities and the Self.
Combining SE with IFS allows us to work with specific aspects of your system and provide time and attention to parts that are often shunned, overlooked or about which you didn’t even have awareness. By doing this, these parts can release the burden they carry and reintegrate into your whole being.
As appropriate and desired, I also incorporate Co-Active Coaching methods once healing has been achieved in order to identify new habits and desired behaviors.
For those interested in healing through plant medicine I provide preparation and integration services.
