Why Bottom-Up Healing Works

Botton Up Healing refers to the idea that we listen to your body first then it goes to your mind to make thoughts with. Top Down looks at thoughts first and then actions.
In our very mind/thoughts based culture, we value our logic. My entire career has been focused on what the body could communicate. When I was a young dancer that was easy to see. You can feel the emotion from a ballet performance. Then as I moved into bodywork, I have always been trying to “hear” what the body was trying to tell me or direct me in the ways they needed most.

I intuitively felt there were more ways to let the body express.

As I’ve chased down trauma-informed approaches, I’ve spent time discerning what respects the body and the mind. I’ve created an offering that honors both. That educates and inspires while connecting with all versions of your self.

I invite you to join me on a journey.

Book a discovery call

I won’t sit here and say how much you need this in your life. I just can’t digest another message like that so I won’t make you either.

I will say the people I’ve worked with can see a different option or a different opportunity for themselves while using this framework.

And- Somatic coaching will compliment what you’re already doing.

Work with me.

Thanks for being here.
