Bio-Energetic Healing Modalities
Eveything is Energy
What we do with that energy shapes our lives. From the food we eat and the company we keep to our physical bodies and the thoughts that enter our minds, everything we experience is a byproduct of the vibrating molecules. These particles literally shape us and the world around us.
When energy becomes stuck, stagnant or bocked, dis-EASE proliferates. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we see the root of all illness is a disruption in Qi (or enegy). When we change the vibration, we become alchemists of our lives. It’s from that space that you can project vibrance out into the world.
Let us help you create, adjust, and discover your physical, mental, and spiritual reality through the healing power of energy medicine.

The Body Keeps the Score
As integrative health practitioners, we recognize the integral relationship between body and mind in moving towards greater resiliency and well-being. Through out life, trauma, chronic stress, and overwhelming experiences often contribute to nervous system dysregulation. Frequently our system reacts to challenging life experiences with short-term strategies that are intended to keep us safe. While these responses may have been valuable and necessary at the time, the imprint left behind may no longer be optimal. As strange as it may sound, often the brain will recognize that a stressful experience is over, but the body may still respond as if it is not. We may be left feeling shut down, disconnected, anxious, emotionally charged, coping with physical illness/pain, or other lingering symptoms.
Fortunately, our body/mind has the ability to release these older stuck patterns, as we move towards the ability to live in the here and now ina balanced and healthy way. In somatic-integration sessions, we will explore your unique nervous system responses and patterns and cultivate a greater capacity to regulate from the inside out.
But why is physical touch necessary to resolve emotional issues?
Recent neuroscience and traumatological research has shown that the “imprint” of unresolved trauma has less to do with the narrative memories themselves (which are cognitive) and much more to do to with the bodily autonomic states connected to those events. Therefore, while top-down cognitive psychological approaches (ie. talk therapy) can be critical to address the thinking side of you, the embodied symptoms of the trauma will often be best addressed with bottom-up approaches (ie. bodywork), to directly re-regulate the body-based autonomic nervous system.
While traditional psychotherapy works primarily with thought and often emotion and emphasizes the narrative story. Somatic integrtion focuses on feeling those emotions in the body as a means of processing trauma and overwhelming experiences. Through felt sense awareness, we can reorganize traumatic symptoms bound in the autonomic nervous system, in turn strengthening one’s ability to develop more adaptive thought and emotional responses.
Sessions generally include a combination of physical touch (deep & light pressure), craniosacral therapy, verbal dialoging, sound therapy, vocal toning, and various bio-energetic and shamanic healing techniques.
