Somatic
therapy

TO SUPPORT YOUR BODY

Somatic therapy is a holistic approach that emphasizes the connection the body and mind. It explores how physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts can influence each other, helping individuals release stored trauma and tension. Through various techniques, such as breathwork and movement, somatic therapy encourages clients to become more aware of their bodily experiences, promoting healing and self-discovery. This therapeutic practice can lead to improved emotional well-being and a deeper understanding of oneself.

Complex trauma therapy

TO SUPPORT YOUR TRAUMA HEALING JOURNEY

Complex trauma therapy focuses on tending to and healing the long-term effects of the chronic trauma exposure, often stemming from a repeatedly experiencing or being exposed to traumatic events, such as abuse or neglect. This kind of therapy helps individuals process their experiences, develop holistic coping strategies, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others rooted in felt safety and security .  Ultimately this therapy aims to empower individuals to reclaim their narratives and foster resilience in the face of adversity.

Brainspotting therapy

TO SUPPORT YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM

Brainspotting is a therapeutic approach focuses on the connection between eye position and emotional processing. Developed by Dr. David Grand, it helps individuals access and traumatic memories or emotional distress by identifying specific eye positions that correlate with their feelings. This innovative technique allows for deeper exploration of the mind, facilitating healing and personal growth in a safe and supportive environment. Through brainspotting, clients can achieve a greater understanding of their emotions and experiences, leading to transformative change.

INternal family Systems (IFS) therapy

TO SUPPORT ALL PARTS OF YOU

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a unique approach  founded by Dick Schwartz that views a person as being made of carious "parts," each with its own feelings, thoughts, and functions. By exploring these different parts or characters, individuals can better understand their inner dynamics and how such parts influence one's way of perceiving and engaging with the world. Through IFS work, people can experience improved self-awareness, enhanced emotional regulation, and the ability foster deeper levels of compassion for themselves and for others.
