Neural Somatic Integration

I work one-on-one with individuals, partners, families and animals to resolve unhealed trauma and reduce or eliminate mental, emotional, spiritual, physical pain. My work is an integrated blend of bodywork, somatic release disciplines and the work of by Dr. Peter Levine, whose work has revolutionized our understanding of trauma and the author of the best selling Waking the Tiger. A session involves guided exploration of unconscious body signals, images, sounds and spontaneous thoughts in order to uncover the buried sources of unresolved trauma. The trauma may have physical, emotional, or spiritual origins. It may be the result of a single event or accident (i.e, whiplash, combat, child abuse, abandonment), or the cumulative effect of a long term situation or condition (i.e, incarceration, unhappy work environments or relationships). Observations of spontaneous body movements provide the starting place for inner exploration. These explorations lead to unraveling tangled complexes and releasing blocked energy. This physiological unraveling is integrated by hands-on manipulation of affected areas in order to bring deep tissue release (neuro-muscular). Some trauma can be resolved in a single session. In most cases, three or four sessions are required to make significant progress, and sometimes, in extreme cases, full release could take several months. The work continues long after the session is over as the client now has increased awareness and consciousness which he or she can apply to self healing. The long term result of my coaching is pain and stress reduction or elimination, self-regulation, increased energy, and lasting mental, emotional, spiritual, physical well-being and a greater coherence of understand yourself and others.
