Essays, Videos & Mind-Body Practices
Welcome!
I create these essays and videos to share the joy and fulfillment I have experienced as a long-time somatic therapist, and to help you do the same. To help you feel more rooted in yourself as a therapist so that you can bring more of your gifts and strengths to help your clients.
I am a raving fan of somatic work and how bottom-up approaches offer seemingly magic change for clients and a practice-changing experience for therapists.
I want to get therapy out of the box, bring it alive and help therapists understand that somatic therapy is not just a bunch of tricks or practices – it’s really about bringing all of yourself into the work and helping your clients do the same.
