Justice in the Body

Somatic Experiencing allows your nervous system to gently release stress and trauma through body awareness, completing healthy instinctual and self-protective responses to events that have had a negative impact on your life.  

A session is usually experienced face-to-face, similar to talk therapy. I may include touch therapy in which I place my hands on different areas of your body. This will help your nervous system to return to homeostasis.  I am particulary interested in working with people who have experienced chronic prejudice, discrimination, displacement of any kind (refugee, adoption, foster system, etc), invisibility or ostracization.

Relaxation, touch and massage are good for the body & soul. Having regular Swedish massages will enhance your circulatory system, meaning that your muscles, tissues and other parts of your body will get more oxygen delivered to them each day. It also stimulates your lymphatic system, helping the body to rid itself of stored toxins and strengthening your immune system. The elimination of these toxins and metabolic wastes shortens recovery time after intense exercise. Hot stone massage is a specialty massage that uses smooth, heated stones. They are basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well. The heat is both deeply relaxing and helps tight muscles release. Your nervous system also benefits from Swedish massage, which is why it’s so closely associated with relaxation and pampering. In fact, regular massage is often recommended as part of an overall personal wellness plan.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle and subtle whole body approach to the human experience. Physically: Cranialsacral Therapy influences the central nervous system; brain and spinal column, as well as the fluid that bathes it. This fluid is called the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). From our skeletal system and the bones of the cranium to the ebbing and flowing of our endocrine system, this cranial modality is effective, yet gentle. Emotionally: Craniosacral Therapy can affect very deep and primary patterns, while providing the client with resource and space to explore their emotional landscape. Craniosacral Therapy provides a deep sense of resourcing within the client. This resourcing provides a safe container for emotional issues to resolve.
