My approach is somatic, creative, relational, and trauma informed. We will work actively and imaginatively, using movement, voice, breath, and touch to awaken curiosity and engage your full being.
I offer experiential, contemplative, and hands-on techniques responsive to your needs. Sessions focus on expressive and somatic exploration and integrate a balance of contemplative and creative inquiry with practical skill building that you can bring into your everyday life. Sessions draw on the following traditions and bodies of knowledge:
Somatic EMDR
Attachment and relational healing
Expressive Arts
Contemporary dance and performance (improvisation, contemplative movement, release technique)
Developmental movement and experiential anatomy (Feldenkrais, Body-Mind Centering)
Pilates
Massage Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Qi Gong
My approach is informed by a critical understanding of oppression and is aligned with liberatory practices.
I bring awareness to the ways dominant structures of power live inside us, and how we are psychosocially conditioned to replicate patterns of separation and subjugation. Together, we will work on interrupting internalized patterns of wounding and fragmentation in order to embody a path toward collective freedom.
