1:1 Sessions
What I Offer: Somatic Coaching and Support for Creatives, Change-Makers, Academics, Perfectionists
The precarity of this moment in time, both ecologically and politically, can make it hard to feel connected to our own felt sense in our bodies. Our inner knowing, and our longings and imagination.
Embodied practices and somatics techniques can be powerful tools for accessing greater playfulness, aliveness, joy, and freedom. They also can support you to stay with and present to your oh-so necessary and protective experiences of rage, grief, and activation. These feelings when met and channeled with love become the drive we all have towards making a difference in our own lives and the lives of our communities.
If any of this resonates, somatics has something to offer you.
Or if you are a perfectionist, procrastinator, or feel like you have a longing for something more from your life- if you struggle to put your own needs and desires above those of other people- if you are creative who feels stuck in their practice and disconnected from the rich mine of your own life experience, somatics has something to offer you!
Iād love to support you, listen to you and collaborate with you towards achieving a greater sense of connectedness to who you are and what you long for. In my 1:1 work with clients I bring a gentle, compassionate, and curious listening to you and your body. Together we figure out your goals for our collaboration, and work towards them, as well as identify what might be getting in the way of your expression and vitality.
What I bring to the table
I draw on my training in a variety of embodiment and somatic practices to suit you and your needs. Our work will involve a combination of Somatic ExperiencingTM, Open Floor- a practice that blends mindfulness and creative movement and dance, and my PhD training as a feminist geographer and embodiment scholar. I am also informed by my research and study in politicized healing lineages like politicized somatics and the healing justice movement.
