Discover how to build trust and capacity within yourself through Somatic Mentoring

Somatic Mentoring

Do you…

• Have trouble feeling safe in your body?

•Feel overwhelm and anxiety?

• Often reach for things outside of yourself to help soothe you? (Foods, people, tv/scrolling, etc.)

• Feel unsure of how to be with your emotions without feeling out of control?

• Find yourself constantly attending to others while neglecting your own wants and needs?

•Have trouble following through on your plans?

•Often judge yourself or treat yourself harshly?

• Get stuck in mental loops involving stories and ruminations?

Finding our authentic self

What if…

…we drastically changed our view of what it means to heal?  So, rather than removing symptoms, feelings, or situations, we have a full spectrum life experience , drawing on support when it feels like it’s too much.  I won’t take the burden from you, but I will give you the support you need to become empowered enough to hold yourself.

… you were so magnificent and brilliant innately, and through managing our life experience we simply forgot who we really were? 

… you didn’t have to fix or change yourself to become a different, better version of you; but rather see that its all already in you and all we have to do is uncover the obscurations that are keeping you stuck?

… this was all done with curiosity, kindness, resource, and support?

The Magic of Presence

The key to unlock the door of true transformation is PRESENCE.

We can’t heal the past by being stuck in the past. Presence is the magical elixir that helps us dissolve and integrate our imprints, beliefs, and traumas.

When we can develop intimacy with ourselves, we grow our intimacy with the world around us. I am here to support you on this journey. While my job is to help you find your self autonomy through working with the nervous system, it is important to remember that we are hard wired to connect, so we weren’t supposed to do it all by ourselves. Here we will learn how to dance with our inner and outer relationships. I will bring that extra layer of presence when you feel that you cannot. Being witnessed by another with presence and non judgement can be extremely beneficial in gaining empowerment and resilience.

Through my somatic mentoring sessions, we build capacity through connection. So that we can hold all of the parts of ourselves rather than escaping, avoiding, or trying to get to somewhere else. You can’t get to THERE without having HERE.

And what if here was really where we desired to be all along?

How do we get there?

• We learn to deepen into our experience and when to broaden our awareness so we don’t become too identified with our experience.

• We build resource through connection and support, as well as learning ways to find resource in your own environment.• We follow the hidden language of sensation, and how to articulate and follow sensations in the body

• We pendulate between challenge and resource so we don’t become stuck in a fixated state.

• We discover what the sensation of emotion feels like in the body seperate from the content tethered to it.

• We find ways to build oxytocin (the love/bonding hormone) into your system as a reliable resource.

• We bring kindness to ourselves by way of curiosity – reducing judgement and not constantly having to change what is alive in us at the moment.

• We explore the sensations so we can get out of our heads and into the body where a different story may be waiting to unfold.

• We identify our boundaries and sharpen the felt-sense of a YES and a NO.

• We sequence trauma intentionally, disentangling imprints and limiting beliefs – allowing the body to finish what got truncated during a potentially overwhelming experience in the past.

What happens in a Somatic Mentoring Session?

An Overview

In a session we will start with a short guided practice into the body.  Next, we will check in with how you are and what is “up for you” – what’s present.  From there, we have at our disoposal a number of directions to explore based on your needs:  the potential vectors of exploration would be in awareness, boundary building, focusing, self-inquiry, pendulation, and building resource – to name a few.
