How I will help you
Using somatic therapies and SIT (subconscious Imprinting Technique) I help you break the patterns your mind is sick and tired of but your body keeps running.
I will guide you into the places and spaces where those old reactions live in your body, the tension, the shutdown, the overdrive. That’s where we work with your nervous system to release the programming that’s been keeping you stuck. Instead of trying to use logic, we bypass the thinking brain and access the root of it all by dialoging with the body. So you can respond differently, feel clearer, and move forward without dragging old outdated survival patterns with you.
With over 20 years of experience in body based care, I am confident I can help you get back on your “golden path”.
