Body & Soul Sessions
Traditional healing modalities have always addressed the whole human: the balance of the inseparable layers of physical, emotional, mental, and soul health. We have strayed from this in modern times, but many of us are searching for holistic modalities to return us to living a whole connected life.
In Body & Soul sessions I integrate a variety of techniques including: therapeutic non-invasive non-manipulative touch (inspired by my trainings in craniosacral therapy), somatic dialogue, guided meditations, plant allies, nutritional and lifestyle guidance, and intuitive insights, all stemming from my full witnessing of a client’s mental, emotional, physical, and soul bodies.
For women in their childbearing years I also offer support during Body & Soul sessions in: abortion and miscarriage healing, baby spirit communication, womb care, pregnancy preparation, pregnancy support, postpartum planning, birth healing, and fertility awareness method education.
I believe with all my heart that you hold all the wisdom within, and I am here simply to help access and mobilize this innate body intelligence toward a path of healing and vibrancy.
What happens during Body & Soul sessions? My hands, using gentle therapeutic touch, tune into the rhythms and unwinding within your energetic body, physical body, and fascia systems, and in doing so I help your body witness its own patterns and blockages to shift to a state of balance and healing. It is important to note that sometimes the body holds onto patterns of disease or pain for reasons beyond our understanding and for timeframes that may seem confusing to us; the body is innately intelligent and has reasons for every sign or symptom we experience.
During sessions, clients lie on a treatment table fully clothed and generally relax into a theta state (a brain wave pattern associated with deep relaxation, meditation, and REM sleep), sometimes even falling asleep.
Offerings for Families
I offer Body & Soul sessions to families: mothers, fathers, babies, children, and teenagers, plus women and men preparing to conceive and start a family. Sessions are a time for the client to feel heard on all levels, so that true healing and wellness can be initiated.
Body & Soul sessions can help support babies with: colic, sleep disturbances, latching challenges, hypertonic muscle tone, digestive challenges, difficult pregnancy or birth, previous pregnancy loss, effects from the normal forces of labor and birth, and adjustment to life in a human body. Some babies arrive with imprints stemming from stress or challenges in pre-conception, pregnancy, or birth; therapeutic touch can allow a baby to tell their story and resolve these early traumas before they grow into larger body or soul imbalances later in life.
Body & Soul sessions can help support children and teens with: digestive challenges, sleep issues, hormone imbalances, fears and anxiety, behavioral challenges, depression, past trauma, big changes in life and family, stress, unresolved birth/pre-natal imprints, and a sense of being "not their usual self".
Body & Soul sessions can help support parents with: fatigue and not enough sleep, overwhelm, feeling stuck, anxiety and depression, stress, PMS and irregular menses, hormone imbalance, chronic pain, digestive issues, pregnancy preparation, difficulty conceiving, pregnancy wellbeing, postpartum recovery and integration, headaches and migraines, relationship challenges, emotional or soul distress, and unresolved past trauma. In addition, a session can be highly rejuvinating and restful for parents, and can help balance, resource, and support their parenting and their lives overall.
