I will join with you, witness and guide you with curiosity and acceptance, empathy and playfulness, as the stories of the body that are beyond words and those disconnected parts of you and their unintegrated resources and strengths, are metabolized. I will invite this story of the psyche to emerge in a place of safety.

"If we bring forth that which is within us, then that which is within us will save us. If we don't bring it forth, then that which is within us will destroy us. "
― Peter A. Levine

Regulating Touch Practice In Psychotherapy

The body holds the answer to your healing.

"Psychoanalytic tradition teaches us that using touch to satisfy a patient’s desire for the missing comfort of the mother fosters a

clinging infantile dependency, and serves as a stimulant for Oedipal fantasies". Dr. Aline LaPierre

From a Somatic Practice Perspective...

"Avoiding safe, nurturing touch
is a cruel re-creation of the original relational trauma,
a repeat of the experience of physical neglect or rejection
undergone by an individual as a child. "

-Dr. Aline LaPierre

“How do you quiet down the frightened animal inside of you? The answer to that is probably in the same way that you quiet down babies. You quiet them by holding and touching them, by being very much in tune with them, by feeding and rocking them, and by very gradual exposure to trying new things.” Bessel van der Kolk, MD

The healing journey was never meant to be embarked on alone.

Lets do it together... building toward resilience and transformation..
