Teaching and Practice

Nervous Systems, Embodiment & Safety, Neuroplasticity

My personal superpower is the ability to blend together the best parts of many different approaches to health and well being while helping your system feel safe enough to open up to new possibilities. Working with the body at the proper pace for growth and development is a bit of an art form and requires a lot of intuitive, feeling based awareness. It also helps to have some fun and companionship along the way!

The concept and practice of neuroplasticity is a game changer for chronic health conditions. These practices are combining cutting edge science and spirituality practices in ways that bear amazing fruit. It might sound strange to hear that letting go of your goal to be 100% better is super important, but it is. A system can not relax and feel safe under the intense pressure to get better right now! As your focus changes to finding ways to be as healthy as you can, “recovery” becomes more of an ongoing journey rather than a specific destination. You are “re-creating” your life as you go along.  

Each of us has a nervous system and we all have the capacity for growth and change. We will take time for you to master new skills, practice them together and make it easy for you to do more on your own in between sessions. Taking small steps forward, not overwhelming the system, but rather soothing your mind and body, teaching your internal structures that change can be safe and might even feel good, is where we want to head. It is all about using our intuition, energy, wisdom and curiosity to know what is best for you.  

Supportive Services

Practical Support, Education, Mentorship & Advocacy

If you have recently been diagnosed with a chronic condition, trying to learn more about health and wellness or attempting to figure out your next steps, this may be just what you need! Before moving ahead into dealing with nervous systems, brain science, neuroplasticity and parts work, it can be helpful just to look at chronic illness diagnosis, what that means, grief and loss around employment, level of function, and overall stress levels. Many people need to talk and find it difficult to find someone who really understands. It can make a world of difference to speak with someone who totally gets it without having to explain a lot of details. Understanding where you are coming from, your strengths and capacities as well as limitations and struggles can be the beginning of cultivating more openness and safety in your system. 

Some clients really need more practical support and mentorship in planning how to approach medical doctors, how to self advocate with professionals, and other key stakeholders, gathering up information for disability claims etc. 

This type of work is very unique and specific to each client but if this is where you are at, send me an email and we can determine what might work for you. I used to be an advocate and educator in Mental Health Services so I have walked many people through these kinds of processes.
