I am a Mental Health Practitioner and I need a place to refresh and restore, so I can continue to care for others.

When you are taking care of your patients, your family, your daily to-do list, who is taking care of you? How can you attend caringly to your clients’ needs and meet the demands of your life, without a place to renew and reconnect with your own deep self?

As a clinician you provide a heroic service in a Facebook culture starved for deep and genuine human interaction. The profession of therapy places an extraordinary demand on you in that it requires you to be fresh and open, sensitive, and alert with each and every client. I aim to provide a remedy to this unique burden therapists carry by doing hands-on healing and depth work. My unique background integrates the Rosen Method Bodywork with Barbara Brennan Healing Science to provide you a space to find greater ease in mind, body and emotion.

EMOTIONAL OVERLOAD

It’s a simple matter of emotional economics. You take on so much professionally—absorbing hour after hour the energy and stories of your clients. Therapists are uniquely exposed to fundamental existential issues and all of the myriad suffering associated with them. But the demand doesn’t end with your clients. Your own personal life exacts as much on your attention and energy. This demand takes its toll: exhaustion.

THE TIRED MIND

The incessant analytical activity.
Therapists are especially busy thinking about and sometimes for their clients. It’s a unique situation intellectually - the responsibility of thinking your way into your clients’ lives with compassionate and effective understanding. Then, of course, you need to problem solve and think about your own life too. Your mind needs a real break.

THE FORGOTTEN BODY

Your biography in your biology.
The body holds all of your experiences, including your traumas, joys, memories, stresses, hopes and fears. And as a therapist you not only contain within your cells your past and present, but also may absorb some of the energies from your clients’ stories and lives. Although we all aspire to attend to our bodies lovingly, you can find yourself physically run down from the mental or emotional backlog that can be stored in the body as chronic tension or pain.

Here's what I'll do to help

EMOTIONAL EQUILIBRIUM

I provide a safe place to digest and integrate the flood of emotional situations you may face with clients, coworkers, or family. Whether it is the stuck or disturbing client, an unhelpful supervisor, a family illness or institutional bureaucracy, through this work you will meet those challenges with greater ease, insight and fortitude.

A QUIET MIND

Empowers you to see in a new way. Without any pressure to analyze or perform or even to speak, a more essential expression of your Self appears. There is relief in letting your mind go and a clarity arises when you connect to what really matters to you. You will gain insight without analysis. A different perspective can appear when the monkey-mind settles down.

THE ENLIVENED BODY

Hands-on healing of chronic patterns of tightness or pain. Through this work, you will have a direct impression of how everything that happens mentally and emotionally has an immediate correspondence to some aspect of your physicality. This integration allows the sustained healing of physical tension, stickiness, or dis-ease to begin. Openly experiencing more of the body’s myriad secrets, even the ones that frighten us, miraculously relaxes us and expands our sense of self.

I am dealing with a Chronic Medical Condition and I am looking for support.

Have you recently been given a life-changing medical diagnosis that has created a new normal?

Or have you been living with a chronic medical condition and are looking for much needed relief?

Facing a chronic illness and the life-changing consequences it has on you can be overwhelming, stressful and extremely lonely. Not only do you need to manage the very real pain that lives in your body, but also the feelings of worry or fear that may come up and the thoughts about how this changes your ability to parent, work, create, and love. Whether you are dealing with the shock of a newly diagnosed condition or the exhaustion of managing a chronic illness for a long time, I offer support and relief on the physical, emotional, mental and energetic layers of your being. I do not engage in platitudes or snake-oil quick fixes, but do hands-on healing work to shift the pain around the pain; heal the anxiety, worry, upset, and anger around the pain, and that can help shift the pain itself.

Specifically, I combine the Rosen Method Bodywork with Barbara Brennan Healing Science to bring this relief to body, mind and emotion so that you can awaken new reservoirs of creativity and compassion within yourself and for yourself in the face of this medical condition.

The body at dis-ease

It hurts. And perhaps all the time. Or you are tired, short of breath, or dizzy, and normal activities have become difficult to do. You are managing the symptoms with medication, medical assistance, and lifestyle, but it is not enough. You are still suffering. You want more relief, energy, and ease.

Emotional Suffering

The feelings are overwhelming. In fact sometimes you feel like you’re drowning and it is hard to keep your head above the water with feelings that threaten to pull you under time and time again. It can be an extremely lonely and trying time as you adapt to and manage your illness. You need a safe place to gently be with, unveil, and process the feelings that can dominate your sense of self.

The worried mind

Your thinking is either paralyzed or racing. Can I continue to work and support myself? Can I continue to raise my kids? How will I manage? Anxietal thoughts can flood your mind when you are confronted with a life-changing condition. Worry, or worse, depression, can become a way of life that is difficult to shift alone.

Here's what I'll do to help.

The loved Body

Reawakening the wisdom of the body below the aches and the pain. The hands-on healing touch provides soothing relief for your discomfort or pain. Furthermore, I aim to restructure, repair or clear blockages on the energetic level. Once we are able to calm the pain, we tap into the deeper layers of your body’s wisdom and activate your own healing function.

Emotional Resilience

Healing through feeling. I provide a safe and loving space for you to freely and fully express what needs to be let out and felt. A place to grieve, cry, laugh, be messy or accept what is. A place to reconnect with your inner resources and deep knowing so you can find the emotional strength and equilibrium necessary to navigate the complexities of living with this medical condition.

The Clear Mind

Transforming negative thinking into positive action. We will work to identify and differentiate the thought patterns that keep you spinning and stuck in the Doomsday scenario. Through our work, your mind will find a new sense of calm that will open up access to deeper insight and, hitherto unthought of, creative solutions.

I am interested in booking a depth-work hands-on Healing Session.

Are you interested in working somatically? Energetically? Are you interested in clearing chronic holding patterns or traumas that are embedded on the cellular level of your body?

Sometimes we have gotten to know ourselves and mapped our inner lives and yet there are patterns and behaviors that continue to persist and seem unshiftable. Our thoughts and emotions—the ones felt and acknowledged and the ones just below the surface—and our energetic layers all reside and are intertwined in the body. Thus I start there; with the body, and let it lead the way. Since our biography becomes our biology, my somatic hands-on approach facilitates the release of trauma, memories, or stuck emotions embedded in the tissue and fascia. I combine Rosen Method Bodywork with Barbara Brennan Healing Science to work on the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic layers of your being.
