I believe that you already have inner wholeness within you. My aim is simply to guide you back to your Authentic Self.
High Achieving Professional
Even superheroes need to hang up their capes and take a break now and then! High-achieving professionals often thrive in their work environments, going above and beyond, only to rush home and take care of family responsibilities. However, this relentless pursuit of achievement comes with a price: anxiety, overwhelm, and exhaustion can take hold, while relationships may begin to suffer. You might feel guilty at the mere thought of resting or pursuing self-care. With Body/Mind therapy, access and heal the subconscious core beliefs that your worth is tied to your accomplishments and your lovability hinges on how much you do for others. Then learn to embody the truth of who you are, that you are enough and lovable as you are, learn to prioritize work-life balance, put your oxygen mask on yourself first so that you can give to others from a place of fullness. Rediscover your sense of joy and aliveness.
Artists and Creatives
Artists and creatives are often described as a “different breed.” While this may be true, it’s important to embrace it as a gift rather than a flaw. Your heightened sensitivity is a unique asset that fuels your creativity, allowing you to feel deeply and draw inspiration from those emotions. This openness enables you to channel innovative ideas and concepts into your art, while also cultivating a profound appreciation for the beauty, mystery, and wonder that surrounds you.
However, this sensitivity can come with its challenges. Intense emotions can become overwhelming if you don’t know how to process them effectively, leaving you feeling weighed down. Additionally, many artists internalize negative messages from society about what it means to be an artist, which can hinder both personal growth and the evolution of your work.
Through Body/Mind therapy, you can learn to release these internalized negative beliefs and silence your inner critic. This transformative approach can help you unblock your creative potential and provide the accountability needed to establish a thriving artistic career. Embrace your unique gifts and empower yourself to flourish as an artist.
Highly Sensitive People + Empaths
Being told you're "too sensitive" or "too emotional" can often feel like a criticism, but let's reframe that perspective: these traits are not flaws; they are your superpowers.
As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) or empath, you experience a rich tapestry of emotions, both your own and those of others. While this heightened sensitivity can often lead to feelings of overwhelm, it also equips you with a profound ability to connect deeply with others and understand their feelings. This unique nervous system enables you to process emotions in ways that many cannot, making you an invaluable source of empathy and compassion in the world.
Through Body Mind Therapy, you can learn to harness these gifts to not only remain centered and grounded but also thrive. Here are some powerful strategies to help you navigate your sensitivity:
1. Prioritize Downtime: Allow yourself regular breaks to recharge. By filling your energy reserves, you can prevent feelings of overwhelm and exhaustion.
2. Set Interpersonal and Energetic Boundaries: Learn to establish clear boundaries that protect your energy and well-being. This practice helps you engage with others without becoming depleted.
3. Cultivate Self-Awareness: Develop the ability to sense your energetic core and differentiate between what is yours and what belongs to others. This skill can transform how you interact with the world, ensuring you remain grounded in your own experiences.
4. Channel Your Gifts: Discover how to direct your heightened sensitivity into meaningful actions and creative outlets. Whether it's through art, activism, or deep connections, find ways to express your gifts that enrich your life and the lives of others.
Embrace your sensitivity not as a burden, but as a beautiful, powerful aspect of who you are. With the right tools and practices, you can create a fulfilling life that honors your unique gifts while maintaining your balance and well-being.
People w/ PTSD + C-PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) often arises from experiencing one or two significant, distressing events that profoundly impact a person's life. In contrast, complex trauma, also known as developmental trauma, typically stems from growing up in a dysfunctional environment marked by ongoing neglect, instability, or emotional abuse. This type of trauma manifests through a series of small but cumulative experiences that leave individuals feeling unsupported and unsafe, ultimately hindering their development and emotional well-being.
Both PTSD and complex trauma can severely compromise our nervous system, diminishing our sense of vitality and our ability to engage meaningfully in work and personal relationships. Symptoms often include anxiety, depression, and a persistent state of hyperarousal or shutdown, characterized by the body's trauma responses of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.
The encouraging news is that with consistent and dedicated Body/Mind Therapy, individuals can heal from past traumas. This transformative process opens the door to not only recovery but also the opportunity to truly thrive, enabling you to embrace the joyful and abundant life you deserve.
Couples Coaching
Everyone desires a loving and trusting relationship, yet many find themselves struggling in this area. A significant reason for this is that most of us never learn how to foster healthy relationships.
In couples coaching, we focus on three essential cornerstones for building a thriving partnership. First is **effective communication**—the ability to express thoughts and feelings openly and honestly. Second is **self-responsibility** for your emotions. By taking ownership of your feelings, you can navigate past traumas and triggers without causing harm to your relationship when challenges arise.
Lastly, it's crucial to understand both your own and your partner’s stories and histories. This understanding fosters compassion and helps you appreciate where each other is coming from, what motivates you, and why certain triggers exist.
Engaging in this transformative work can lead to a foundation of lasting trust and safety in your relationship. You’ll become each other’s greatest allies, paving the way for increased intimacy, joy, and playfulness. Together, you can create a loving partnership that not only survives but thrives!
