Services Offered
Somatic Healing—Body Psychology
Somatic Healing provides a supportive place for clients to explore their edge. Clients may be able to go deeper into mental or physical spaces that they may not be able to access on their own. Typically this is done with hands on work and positioning in conjunction with the breath although touch-free sessions are available. No experience is needed for a somatic healing body psychology session.
Integral Breath Therapy
Integral breath therapy uses specific breathing techniques to clear out stored energetic experiences in our bodies, minds, and spirits. Integral breath therapy moves the practitioner into an altered state of consciousness while being supported and guided by the facilitator. This practice can clear out birth trauma, free the self from past experiences, and clear stored emotional blockages. This is a practice not to be misssed!
