Healing Rising

My approach to healing is somatic and relational. Guided by principles of Somatic Experiencing, I hold space for your body to land, unwind constriction and trauma, and restore its natural self-healing capacity. In a Somatic Session, instead of just talking about your life, we listen to and support how your body is responding to it. Working with image, sensation, emotion, and movement, you are able to access deeper levels of transformation… than in typical talk therapy, which mostly works with meaning and story. This work can sometimes feel slow, subtle, and mysterious. We are not pursuing big cathartic breakthroughs, but supporting your nervous system to gently re-pattern so that the changes we make together actually last. My work is also deeply relational. I am not working ON you, but working WITH you to support your healing. This means that your truth is central to this work and your choice is always honored. I am here as an experienced and supportive guide on your journey, but ultimately I see you as your own healer.

In this time of great unraveling, it is easy to get lost in what’s happening out there, and to feel overwhelmed, or even hopeless. But the roots of deep change begin in here — in our own bodies, relationships, and communities — where we have the power to embody the world we long for. Healing Rising is here to support you in this deeper change work— to help you heal the wounds that are holding you back, learn from conflict rather than… avoid it, and build new relational practices, grounded in care and connection.
