SOMATIC THERAPY
You have been born into this body, it is the vehicle for your soul & spirit to embody into on this earthly plane.
This body, your body through its senses offers the portal to enter into the full potential of the human experience, the full experience of this life; Your Sensational Life.
My desire is to support you in creating more capacity to be with life as it unfolds in its many ways.
This is very basic and fundamental. Once this capacity increases then you start to thrive and from the increased capacity, the inner landscape of your life can be explored..
Even so I’m a confidante with expertise in the field of sexuality and intimacy,
in these sessions I’m working with humans holistically;
all aspects of life are touched by the way a person lives her/his/their intimacy,
by how much permission there is for aliveness to circulate through their being.
My approach
Sessions are online or in person.
My approach in these sessions is to work through the body, through the Nervous System.
We check in at the beginning of the session and allow for an intention to arise.
From here the body and soul will bring up the sensations and feelings that need to be addressed to embody the intention. Through tracking the sensations arising in the body we track and support the healing of the Nervous System.
I put a lot of emphasis on creating safety in the relational field between you and me and supporting you to find safety within yourself.
From this safe place held energies from past traumatic and devastating experiences can be accessed and released in a safe way without overwhelming you.
Apart from the somatic work, I bring in Voice Dialogue to meet and address different parts of your being like the Inner Critic, the different ages of the Inner Child, the Seductress, the High Achiever, the Victim...just whatever parts show up and need to have a voice to clarify and untangle your difficulties. I can bring in some specific processes to meet attachment wounding and I love to share embodiment practices, guided meditations and rituals where supportive.
An important aspect in my sessions is the accessing of essential states of being; of spaciousness, of love, of trust, of silence, joy, gratitude, power, strength. If they arise during a session there is graciousness; hanging out in these states will support you to pause and be nourished and rejuvenated deeply.
For the in-person sessions I also bring in physical touch where needed and agreed upon. It can be beneficial to be supported through finely attuned and grounding touch for the integration of the process. In the online sessions, it can be really helpful to bring my fokus and energetic touch to certain parts of your body too.
I’m trained as a Transpersonal Psychotherapist, a Somatic Therapist, a YoniMapper, Shiatsu Therapist and in Touch for Trauma.
Apart from that I'm a dancer and I'm teaching sacred feminine yogic practices; I love the exploration of my physicality and how I best support myself and others in self care, in creating safety as a felt sense, increasing the capacity for standing for one's truth and desires, freeing up aliveness, authenticity and creativity.
