Biographical Info
| Being in holistic health I noticed an absence of body/mind connection and overall wellbeing with prolonged engagement of the stress response. In turn, an absence of self-compassion was evident and often dysregulation of the nervous system through symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. When the relaxation response was engaged, I found clients could access Self-Compassion, Self-Forgiveness, Self-Acceptance and Self-Love. All essential elements for discovering the true self leading to a peaceful, fulfilling life of growth, connection, significance and purpose.
Working with a variety of ages from young adults to 70+, I have found disengaging prolonged engagement of the stress response is essential for long term enjoyment of Life, in all its polarities. In my mind/body work I found trauma stores itself in the body which is why I trained in The Richards Trauma Process. The Richards Trauma Process is a self-compassionate process of identifying and addressing core wounds developed through childhood and life experiences. Releasing perceptions and experiences of the past which created unconscious patterns keeping clients stuck, makes space for the true essence of a client to shine through. TRTP provides self-discovery, a sense of agency (control) and creates a base line of safety held in the relaxation response. These qualities are key for a life of purpose, connection, love, belonging, safety, freedom and exploration. To discover the root of and heal your core wounds in a compassionate, safe structure and connect to the life that you desire, I would be honored to walk with you through a TRTP. |
