Move from overwhelm and trauma to healthy attachment and attunement.
The foundation of all healing and transformation can be grounded in the autonomic nervous system, the body and its innate intelligence and capacity for health, and perception.
In this modality, EP sessions facilitate individuals using dialogue, somatic contact, and presence to deepen our nervous system’s regulation and capacity for metabolizing and discharging any overwhelm and traumatic imprinting. There is a natural ordering principle that allows for this process to unfold when the right conditions of contact, safety and support are met.
Overwhelm and traumatic imprinting affect our perception and compromise our feeling of overall well-being. They can also create a host of pain-syndromes both chronic and acute, as well as dis-ease that western medicine often refers to as “stress-induced.”
Below are just a few of the diagnosable illnesses that often have ambiguous causes according to Western Medicine and Science with little offering of hope or they are seen as incurable and relegated to a diagnosis and medication that offers little explanation or relief.
Common disorders clients transform through Embodiment Process Sessions:
Anxiety & Panic Attacks
Eating Disorders
Birth Trauma
Low Immunity
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Temporal Mandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJD)
Back & Neck Injuries
Other Mental & Emotional Issues
Depression
Whiplash
Migraines
Insomnia
As patients, we want a solution, a name for what we are experiencing and a serious explanation and understanding of how to help ourselves and how we can be helped by Western medical doctors.
Often, we are given little to no support, which can add to stress, confusion, and distrust, even more trauma and overwhelm can occur which we are desperately seeking relief from. The hard truth is that western medicine is simply not designed to understand the root of an illness but to treat symptoms, which it can also fail to do so without major side effects or simply no efficacy at all. Western Medicine has its place, and it can be extraordinarily helpful and life saving for injuries that only surgery can help, broken bones, heart procedures, etc. But simply put, it misses the forest through the trees too often and has deleterious to devastating impact on our health and mental and emotional wellbeing.
As a practitioner and as a human being, I know the power and importance of process above all else in traversing the challenges of crises, be it health or other.
Having a way to practice introspection, be intentional, self-reflective, as well as being curious as a process of inquiry matters. We can stay vital, intelligent and growth oriented when we embody process and practices that support this. EP sessions help us develop a process that includes tools of reflection including all parts of ourselves, and cultivate a strong, grounded internal space that we can return to, no matter the circumstance where we know we are ok inside. This kind of belonging to ourselves develops out of process and can only arise and deepen through meeting the challenges life brings. Just as muscle builds from small tears and resistance training, inner strength and belonging develop from being with our resistance and challenges that cultivate and deepen our presence. We strengthen our ego structure such that our shadow aspects, dreams, and authenticity are the territory we explore and include not to live in wholeness but to experience it as our part of our nature. Neuroplasticity and new neural pathways for growth, acceptance, freedom, and peace are the living consequence of such dedication and work. We grow in the complexity with meaning and purpose in our hands.
Healthy Attachment and Attunement
Our earliest experiences with our caregivers, our environment, and prenatally have a profound impact on us as we continue to grow. In Embodiment Process sessions we explore and learn:
Understand what somatic implicit memories are and how they affect our physiology, our ability to cope with stress as adults, and our sense of safety and perceptions transforms our relationship to ourselves.
How do we listen and attune to our deepest needs for connection, trust, intimacy, and safety?
How do we have healthy boundaries with others such that we feel valued and respected with a grounded foundation and sense of self-worth?
The ways we can continue to repair and grow through the traumatic imprints of loss and harm from our early years of life.

Awareness & Understanding of Intergeneration trauma and how differentiation is key to experiencing inclusion and belonging as we better understand our ancestors and our familial and collective histories.
