We all experience transitions throughout our lives — big and small, planned and unplanned. Some transitions are joyful, some are incredibly difficult. Whatever the transition a therapist or coach can help you through this time of change.

A holistic approach to trauma defines trauma not as an event, but rather as a disruption and overwhelm to our body-mind’s capacity to adapt, thrive, and flourish. A mind-body therapist, coach or practitioner will help you learn techniques to sense and regulate your own physiology and states of being and move towards peace, healing and well-being.

Addiction affects the body as well as the mind. Somatic approaches to recovery support you with finding a deeper ‘connection’ and relationship with yourself (our mind, our body, our emotions). Somatic work can provide you with a different and engaging way to explore and access your innermost thoughts and feelings.

Relationships can inspire our deepest sense of connection, joy and belonging - both to ourselves and others. They can also provoke our deepest insecurities, pains, and disconnection. Bringing an embodied understanding and awareness to relationship work can help create a more empathic relationship with ourselves and others.

MindBody Therapy is the discovery of the self, the essence of what’s created the self. It supports us to understand and shift what gets in the way of being free, happy, and fully alive. While traditional therapy focuses on verbal processing and cognitive meaning making, MindBody therapy invites the individual into the wisdom of their body as the intuitive place of healing and well-being. MindBody Therapy offers a paradigm shift, situating the individual as the expert of their own journey of healing, transformation, and wellbeing.

In order to better understand the connection between stress, trauma, and our health, we must turn our attention to the vagus nerve. This is Polyvagal Theory. The vagus nerve can be thought of as a bi-directional information highway that communicates between the mind and body. Imbalances in the vagus nerve and physiology of the autonomic nervous system can lead to feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, or dissociation.
