Embracing a New Narrative

Somatic Psychotherapy Marin County

The world is waking up. The specter of disease, racial and economic inequality, climate change, and political upheaval have shaken us to the core.

And from our core comes the most important questions: What are my values? What do I want to create? How do I show up for myself, for my family and for my community in this unprecedented time?

For many, it’s not easy to reach out for support, especially when we are feeling stuck, and yet some part of us knows the power that exists when we are seen, heard and understood by another. Come back to your core and notice your breath. Now feel the earth beneath your feet. Allow the body's innate intelligence to guide you. Through the process of somatic therapy, we explore with compassion and breath the roots of what is blocking source wisdom and creativity from flowing freely in the body. When we are connected to this source, it feels possible to feel the feelings that have been stuck or stuffed down, to move and to express them.

This gives access to greater vitality and aliveness- what feeds and nourishes you! Your relationships, work, and capacity to contribute to a greater whole.

When we have permission to allow emotions to flow through the body, when we release shame, we create space for love. I can support you in accessing that flow of life energy so that you are more available to allow love to fuel your life, strengthen your relationships, and bring clarity to your decision making. Together, we will hold the greater picture of your life, allowing you to make space so that you can begin to understand and be moved by what matters most.
