      <image:title>Services - What is Somatic Work?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Soma is a Greek word meaning “the living body”. Using a somatic approach adds a significant element to traditional therapy by including the bodily experience. It is grounded in the belief that not only are thought, emotion and bodily experience inextricably linked (creating a body-mind), but also that change can be brought about in one domain of experience by mindfully accessing another. The intention is bring wholeness and restoration to the physical, emotional, mental and energetic bodies.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>These sessions are a collaborative experience that meet you where you are at. Creating safety and trust is a key element as it allows us to journey together in a held and contained way. Sessions involve a mix of somatic practices, talk therapy, craniosacral therapy, mindfulness and other trauma informed therapeutic methods. Practical integration practices may also be offered depending on the nature of the session.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - My passion for somatic counselling and bodywork comes from a desire for people to experience what is possible when we heal. As we come home to the body we have more access to joy, freedom and safety. I believe these experiences are inherently our birthright and innately human.</image:title>
