What happens in a session?
This is not a space where you sit on a chair and talk about your problems...
here we move, we sit on the floor, we slow down.
Everything is already here.
your body holds wisdom.
You are the expert on you... My job is to help you see what is already there.
1. We start with what's alive.
You don't need to arrive with a perfectly defined problem or a clear goal.
Maybe something happened recently. Maybe you're caught in a pattern you can't seem to shift. Maybe you simply feel that something in your life wants to change.
We start there.
Together, we explore what's happening right now — and what happens when you bring your experience out of your head and into your body.
2.Notice
Your body has something to say.
There is the story your mind tells you.
And then there is what your body is communicating.
A tight jaw.
A shallow breath.
A clenched stomach.
A body that wants to move — or freeze.
We slow down enough to notice.
The body can give us information that the thinking mind doesn't always have access to.
Feel
Don't just talk about it. Feel it.
Once something becomes noticeable, we explore it.
You might breathe, move, make a sound, push, kick, shake, slow down or simply stay with a sensation.
Sometimes the work is quiet.
Sometimes it's energetic.
There is no formula to follow.
We follow what is alive.
This is somatic work: not just talking about your experience, but experiencing it.
3. Follow
What happens when you follow the impulse?
Many of us have learned to keep our natural impulses under control.
Don't get angry.
Don't take up too much space.
Don't say what you really want.
Don't need too much.
In a session, you may be invited to explore an impulse rather than immediately overriding it.
To move.
To breathe.
To push.
To reach.
To pull away.
To make a sound.
You don't have to act on every impulse.
You get to feel it, explore it and discover what it has to tell you.
4. Explore
Meet the different parts of you.
Sometimes there isn't one clear answer.
One part of you wants to leave.
Another wants safety.
One wants intimacy.
Another wants protection.
One wants to be seen.
Another is terrified of being judged.
Through somatic exploration and Parts Work, we can give these different parts space to be experienced and understood.
Rather than deciding which part is right, we become curious about what each one is trying to do for you and make space for all of it.
5. Discover
Sometimes something moves.
Sometimes something becomes clear.
There are sessions where you finally get to feel something deeply.
An emotion that didn't have room to be expressed.
A boundary that was never spoken.
A movement that was interrupted.
Something that has been held can finally have space to move.
And sometimes the shift is clarity.
You may realize something you have known intellectually for years — but suddenly you know it in your whole body.
When you understand what is underneath a pattern, you can begin to relate to it differently.
6.Choose
Awareness creates choice.
I don't believe there is one right way you are supposed to live your life.
There is nothing inherently wrong with choosing safety over risk, a closed heart over vulnerability, or staying where you are.
The frustration often comes when we don't realize we're choosing.
Old patterns, protective parts and familiar strategies can make decisions for us without our awareness.
As you become more conscious of what is happening within you, more possibilities become available.
More awareness.
More choice.
More freedom
The relationship matters.
You won't find someone sitting across from you who believes they know what's best for you.
I bring experience, training and different ways of working with the body, emotions and inner world.
But the authority doesn't stand outside of you.
My role is to help you become more familiar with your own experience — to notice what is happening, stay with it, explore it and discover what becomes possible.
We do this work together, in relationship.
