I honour your Innate Abiding Wisdom
In Somato-Spirit sessions I approach our time together with honesty, creativity, consent, and building relational connectivity and commitment with one another. Currently offering in-person individual & small group sessions,in studio + outdoors in Nature, online and Remote Sessions.
Your first session often includes stress de-fusion practicals, somatic meditation, spiritual embodying practices that you can always employ in your day to day; something one of my teachers said that we all need to have “rolled up in our back pockets, even at the beach”…plus a Beach Ball! Sessions may also include touch practices, energetic clearing, myth tales, songlines, old languages, prayer-making, co-reflection.
There are several approaches on offer. I am inspired by:
those seen and unseen,
human & non-human Grandfathers & Grandmothers, Shamanic Teachers,
Evelyn Eaton, Piitaikitsipimi, Grandmother Kerrie, Gabor Mate, Stephen Jenkinson, Sharon Stanley, Pat Ogden, Bessel van der Kolk, Stephen Porges, CA Bickerstaff, Virginia Satir, Brene Brown, Byron Katie, To-ko Pa Turner, John Wineland - and others that would fill pages of gratitude for their ways and their work in this world.
I am also inspired through the lives and souls I’ve met during my 20+ years in the Death Trade/Private Hospice, Spiritual Care, ritual & ceremonial practices for families and individuals. I have spent long hours before during and after labour & delivery as well as tended to What Is, in NICU. I have experience with trauma and (C)PTS care personally and professionally and come with alternative approaches there as well, including Heart Medicine ways.
It is said that the body moves at a slower pace and can be the first to speak and the last to yell out to get our empathy & compassionate attention. We also don’t tend in isolation - Kinship is required. Accurate Reflection is required. Healing IN relationship.
Coming into Presence with our Selves and tending the seemingly stuck aspects or energies along the way is part of what we do together. We may also engage in learning more from our Ancestors to assist with healing and coming into good relations with them as well. There is deep listening in this work. Sound, song, heart medicine and other ritual or ceremony may also be needed and we can discuss this if this seems to be the case. All done with relational collaboration, guidance, and respect.
You have all the instructions within you, already. In co-regulated relationship, this emerges.
Connect with me to initiate a first meet and sessions &/or via community gatherings.
From Love Always & All Ways,
