If you answered YES to the questions above, then know that you were called to this workshop for a reason. I won't sit here and promise you a full-body healing session in the 3 hours we will be together, but I can promise that you'll leave with... 1. An understanding of Somatics and Neuroplasticity and their roles with your physical and emotional body. 2. How you can apply simple tools on a daily basis to help regulate your nervous system & calm your emotional body. 3. A deeper connection mind/body connection; we will learn about your "narratives" and how to allow them to feel seen without taking over your Self. 4. We'll do some movement, move through a few breathing exercises & embrace the parts that feel so difficult to love. Somatic Therapy uses the body as its starting point for healing. The word “somatic” is derived from the Greek word “soma” which means “living body”. It is a holistic form of therapy that is grounded in the relationship between the mind and the body. Somatic healing offers a variety of benefits. It reduces discomfort, strain, and stress in the body. It transforms negative emotional experiences, creates a greater sense of Self, builds resilience and offers hope. Our intent is to awaken people to the wisdom inherent in the body and how to access it. Stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship conflicts are problems that exist both in the body and the mind – so the cure must involve both as well. In each Embodied workshop that is hosted, we will explore new levels of mind-body connection; through exploring bodily tension, gestures, and body sensations through a combination of awareness dialogue, movement, and/or self touch. A multitude of therapeutic approaches will be used in our workshops such as: Internal Family Systems, Art Therapy, Primal Movement & more. Through connecting and listening to the messages carried in the body, clients are guided to choices that support their moving with more ease and freedom in their lives. becoming the fullest version of themselves.
