Services
Somatic Experiencing
This body-centered approach resolves trauma by addressing nervous system dysregulation through gentle awareness and somatic techniques. Ideal for PTSD, chronic stress, and developmental trauma recovery. Clients learn to release stored tension and rebuild resilience through guided self-regulation practices.
Feldenkrais Method
A neuroplasticity-based movement system that improves posture, flexibility, and coordination through mindful exploration. Effective for chronic pain relief, injury recovery, and enhancing functional movement patterns. Combines group classes and private sessions to retrain the nervous system's movement habits.
Internal Family Systems
This therapeutic model addresses emotional healing by working with internal 'parts' that hold trauma memories. Helps clients integrate fragmented aspects of self to resolve anxiety, depression, and attachment wounds through compassionate somatic dialogue.
Myofascial Release
Manual therapy targeting connective tissue restrictions to alleviate chronic pain and improve mobility. Combines biodynamic craniosacral techniques with orthopedic approaches to restore tissue integrity and nervous system balance.
NeuroAffective Therapy
Addresses complex trauma patterns by working with disorganized attachment and emotional regulation challenges. Focuses on rebuilding authentic self-connection and improving relational capacity through somatic awareness and developmental healing techniques.
