This holistic approach to healing is rooted in the understanding that while the body and brain are distinct, they are deeply interconnected. By working through the body, we can access stored emotions and trauma, promoting healing at both physical and psychological levels. This practice integrates mindfulness, breathwork, and “body spotting” (derived from brainspotting) to provide a comprehensive approach to well-being. 

​

Trauma-Informed Therapeutic Yoga: Trauma-Informed Therapeutic Yoga is a mindful form of yoga that prioritizes safety, awareness, and self-compassion. Designed to help individuals reconnect with their bodies, it incorporates bodywork, breathwork and mindfulness practices to foster a deeper sense of presence. Yoga from a therapeutic perspective looks at the individual tailoring each session to you unique needs, recognizing and respecting personal boundaries and past experiences.

​

Integrative Therapeutic Bodywork: Integrative Therapeutic Bodywork is my unique approach, combining elements of Thai Yoga Bodywork, Myofascial Release, Trauma-Informed Therapeutic Yoga with Hands-On Assists, and Assisted Stretching. Each session weaves these modalities together to provide customized support, meeting your individual needs and fostering holistic healing.

​

Thai Yoga Bodywork: Thai Yoga Bodywork hands-on practice that combines elements of yoga assists, acupressure, and dynamic stretching. Thai yoga bodywork releases physical tension, enhances circulation, and encourages relaxation. It supports the body’s natural healing processes, aiding in the release of deeply held emotions that may be stored in the muscles and fascia.

 

Myofascial Release (MFR): By applying sustained pressure to the fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs), MFR helps relieve chronic pain and physical tension. This approach recognizes the somatic connection between physical discomfort and emotional trauma, facilitating release and fostering a profound sense of relaxation.

 

Assisted Stretching: Customized to individual needs, assisted stretching supports flexibility, mobility, and overall well-being. It enables clients to experience gentle movement within a supported environment, promoting both physical and mental release. This technique helps break patterns of tension held in the body, fostering an embodied sense of freedom.

 

Body Spotting: Inspired by brainspotting, body spotting involves mindful attention to areas of physical tension or emotional intensity within the body. By focusing on these areas through awareness, individuals can release trauma held in the body, facilitating deep healing and integration.

Each element of this trauma-informed, integrative, and holistic approach works together to honor the mind-body connection, recognizing that true healing involves tending to both.
