Accompaniment matters. Relationships transform. We sit together to access the health that is at the center of every human being, even when one of us can’t feel it. We sit because healing happens in relationship, access to true self is made easier in the presence of another person’s settled nervous system, and because your healing matters for the health of all of us. Whether you are facing overwhelm, anger, a frozen feeling, compulsions, depression, trauma, anxiety, or facing other difficult experience, we can touch it with awareness and respect. Our experience includes joy, includes pain, and includes connection and compassion.
I use simple, attuned presence, along with concrete body-mind practices for trauma resolution and emotional distress, to access the healing that science proves is possible. In short, the brain reworks itself in the presence of healthy relationship. We feel stabilization and the ability to stay connected while contacting distress. This changes everything.
You can heal trauma, reclaim connection, and restore well-being, and I am happy to support you in doing so. Call or email for a free phone consultation.
