How This Work Can Help You

My Work is based on some key principles

First, that the body is naturally designed to heal when given the right support. In fact all mammals have an innate process for releasing and recovering from, shock, trauma and stress. I believe that is why we have neuroplasticity built into our brains and adaptability built into our nervous systems. In our work together, I will help you learn the language of your nervous system so that you can begin to hear your body’s cues and follow its lead through the journey of healing.

Second, I believe there is always a good reason for what your body is doing. That includes symptoms (even symptoms that are painful or drive you crazy and make you frustrated with yourself). This approach allows us to curiously listen and collaborate to find where your body is in its natural process of healing from trauma. That means that whatever shows up in session - whatever “resistance”, whatever “symptoms” are showing up in your life or in session are showing up for a VERY GOOD REASON! This allows you to hold a whole new level of self-compassion and knowing yourself by partnering with your body to provide the support needed to naturally reduce symptoms rather than trying to force them away or pathologize them.

When working together, we are looking at these key areas:

Biology - how have your cells and biology been impacted by stress and trauma? Let’s leverage your biology through supplement support to give your body the energy it needs to keep progressing and not get stuck as you heal!

Physiology - What is the State of your nervous system (Dorsal, Vagal, Freeze, Fight, Safe & Social?) and where has it gotten stuck? Let’s gently track and support your nervous system to spend more time in your window of tolerance by working to release chronic stress AND grow your body’s capacity for stress.

Healing Mindset - Let’s develop a mindset that supports your body’s process and works with it rather than against it. Letting go of self-judgment, fear of your beautiful body, and accepting the impact of trauma, adverse childhood experiences, or shock in your life in order to heal it.

Relational Patterns - Our adult relational patterns are formed in the first three years of life! These are non-verbal non-cognitive imprints that live inside us. If our parents were struggling with their own stress, trauma, or challenges, it’s likely that we actually didn’t receive the imprints of safety that we needed for our nervous systems to develop healthily! The good news is that we can actually work to heal and restore these deep attachment patterns at the level of your nervous system so that you feel more freedom to be yourself, give and receive love, and enjoy safe, healthy relationships in your life.

Spiritual - How have you felt disconnected from yourself and others as a result of trauma? Have you struggled to hear your own intuition and wisdom? Have you felt disconnected from nature and life itself? Through this work, you will restore the natural connection to all of life - whatever that looks like for you.
