Rebuild a Solid Foundation and Truly Heal

Struggling with Health Issues, Unexplained Symptoms, or Persistent Anxiety?

Whether you're dealing with complex trauma, mystery symptoms and chronic conditions, environmental illness, or raising a child with autism, ADHD, behavioral challenges, the journey can be isolating and exhausting.

First, I want you to know that you're not alone. And that there is a path forward.

Whether it’s ADHD, Autism, Long-Hauler’s, Chronic Fatigue, or a host of other challenges from PANS and PANDAS to complex PTSD. . .

You can heal.

True Healing

Many modalities can act like “hacks” to quiet the system, but the effects don’t last. Other modalities may have a one-size-fits-all approach, which means, they are typically treating shock-trauma with the assumption that the person doing the healing has a nervous system that developed under more ideal conditions—i.e., regulated caregivers who provided them with what they need and a relatively wide “Window of Tolerance.” (See blue area in the image below.)

It also means the ability to settle back into the part of your nervous system that keeps us grounded, safe, connected, and relational, especially after experiencing stress.

With more capacity, our system can begin to tolerate input, exertion, sound, sensory stimuli without a defensive response from the nervous system.

The combination of modalities I use and recommend not only create lasting impact but can build capacity, resilience, and widen your “Window” so that you can live more of your life (or your child can live more of his or her life) from a place of true regulation.

Building a new foundation can help you experience life, with all that it brings — without having to be accompanied by so much survival energy, defenses, coping strategies, and symptoms.

Healing is Possible

After many years of trying to find my way to feeling better through trying dozens of modalities, protocols, therapies, healers, and more, and with a long list of ailments, symptoms and life-long chronic illness, I found a place where I could truly gain momentum and reverse the issues that I had faced since childhood.

And while I do believe there is no one-size fits all, I’ve come up with a protocol that can be adapted to help the majority of situations.

It’s based on the science behind the polyvagal theory, including the healthy development of our nervous system.

I’ve experienced it. And I’ve seen it help others, again and again.

What does it mean to build a new foundation?

My Approach

The modalities I work with are considered “bottom-up,” which means we are working with the language of the body—sensation, emotion, behavior, image, and impulse—and meeting the nervous system where it is, then beginning to gently build a foundatoin of regulation and safety. This is how we can increase capacity, tolerance, and expand one’s ability to live life with a range of experiences, including joy, healing, and wider resilience.

I offer one-on-one sessions and group work using Somatic Experiencing, Transforming Touch, and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and the Rest and Restore Protocol (RRP). Where there is interest, I provide steps and suport to begin healing the body from the ground up—through the gut microbiome, which supports our nervous systems.

Somatic Experiencing (SE)

Somatic Experiencing—a bottom-up, body-based trauma intervention created by Dr. Peter Levine—helps us resolve trauma, complete incomplete self-protective responses, get back into our bodies, and build flexibility that can make resilience possible again.

Somatic Experiencing is especially helpful for working with shock trauma and learning to “track” sensation in the body for the purpose of healing.

Details of a traumatic event are not necessary for a person to benefit.

Somatic Experiencing is the foundation of all of my work.

Modalities I Use

Transforming Touch (TT)

This modality—developed by Stephen Terrell (who authored the book Nurturing Resilience, along with Kathy Kain)—is a gentle yet powerful model and a key piece to healing by building regulating in the context of safe connection.

Transforming Touch employs therapeutic presence to various points on the body, including the adrenals, brainstem, and ankles to invite regulation and deep healing.

TT is especially designed for early trauma and can include integrating retained primitive reflexes. The work is designed to be used for any age group

For anyone who has experienced early developmental trauma, this modality is strongly recommended.

Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)

The Safe and Sound Protocol is a listening program that is designed to help regulate the vagus nerve via the middle ear muscles. While listening to this specially filtered therepeutic music, the middle ear muscles learn to filter out high and low frequencies, which are the sounds of threat. And begin to re-tune to the prosody of the human voice, which are cues of safety.

The music of the Safe and Sound Protocol is delivered remotely, through an app on your phone. You purchase the headphones, and I guide you through the journey. You can complete the therapy in the comfort of your own home.

A Customized Approach to Your Healing

Building capacity takes time. The body has found a set point and to move the needle, steady consistent work over time is key.

I begin by working with you to map your system and learning about your predominant states. I will help you create a menu of resources and “glimmers” (a Deb Dana term) to begin to find safety, grow capacity, experience connection, and heal.

From there, I take a customized approach to working with the needs of your nervous system—resolving stored traumatic energy, creating a foundation for safety, and building resilience.

Depending on root causes, I will suggest different approaches; for example, when working with complex trauma, I will strongly recommend starting with Transforming Touch (TT) sessions, also with the knowledge that this work is long-term (ideally at least year or more).

For anyone wishing to do the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) or Rest and Restore Protocol (RRP) but who feels they may need more “room” and resource in their system, I recommend a minimum of 5-10 Somatic Experiencing sessions or at least 3 months of Transforming Touch (privately or group work) prior to working with these listening modalities.

ABOUT MY PRACTICE

I’m a seasoned Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with a wealth of knowledge and hands-on work with clients; in additon, I’ve been faciliating the Safe and Sound Protocol since it was first released nearly ten years ago.

I also have the discernment to know when less is more and work in ways that allow slow and steady healing and reduces overwhelm—especially for more sensisitve systems.

One of my greatest joys as a practitioner is talking to people who have said that after years of trying everything, they’ve finally found something that has made a difference.

FAQs for Three-Month Packages

 

  • I do all of my work over zoom and am able to see people from across the world.
