Somatic Mindfulness & Inquiry

Somatic Mindfulness is a series of practices and techniques that help to calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety and catastrophic thinking, give us more accurate neuroception (how our body and mind really feel) and build resiliency in the nervous system. 

Somatic Inquiry allows us to work 1:1 and explore the sensations from trapped emotions and experiences that are being held in the body. It can help to get you out of survival mode (fight/ flight/ freeze/ fawn). The basis of the work is from Dr. Stephen Porges of the Polyvagal Institute and Lynn Fraser's Stillpoint Somatic Mindful Inquiry. The premise is that "Safety IS the treatment". This way of working together allows the body to release patterns of behaviour and beliefs so that there is room for more ease and joy in your life

Somatic Mindfulness and Inquiry can  help to manage:

Anxiety - Catastrophic Thinking

Overwhelm

Shame

Traumatic Memories

False Core Deficiency Beliefs

Emotional & Physical Distress

Auto-immune Disorders

Inner Critic

Finding Purpose

Creating Boundaries

Testimonials:

I’ve just finished the third session of Trauma Informed Somatic Inquiry with a delightful client and with her permission, I’d like to share some of her breakthroughs.

After just 2 sessions, she is able to experience more joy, happiness and wonder in her life. She is smiling more. She is prioritizing self-care and being more gentle with herself. She is appreciating the little things.

She has released a dark pit of dread from her abdomen, the weight of the world from her shoulders and shifted a feeling of anxiety lodged in her throat.

At the end of the third session she expressed that 3 was the right number of sessions to really step into this work and notices big changes in her outlook and her life. 

Integrated Healing combines Massage Therapy, Sound Healing, Craniosacral Therapy and Jikiden Reiki. It is a customized blend that is tailored to your needs at the time of the treatment. It can include some or all of the modalities combined. It is effective in dealing with stress, headaches, fibromyalgia, insomnia, high blood pressure and many other conditions. It is exceptionally relaxing, giving your body a chance to heal itself.

Sound Healing uses instruments and vibration to affect your whole body, accessing each cell through your nervous system. The Gong is an ancient instrument, used by many cultures for ritual, ceremony, prayer and meditation. Its sound is relaxing and calming, centering and energizing, transforming and healing. It can help bring you back into balance, physically, emotionally and spiritually. It can help treat physical injuries, anxiety and depression, bring relaxation to the nervous system, treat addictions and increase spiritual will power. Sessions can be done laying on the floor, using a yoga mat, blanket and pillows or in a recliner.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle hands-on therapy that taps directly into your nervous system. It allows the body to let go of old injuries and patterns of behaviour, both physical and emotional. Your body is in charge of the treatment and will only bring up issues that you are ready to deal with at that time. It can bring about profound shifts and healing. CranioSacral Therapy can help with traumatic brain injuries and concussion management, acute and chronic injuries, autoimmune disorders, generalized pain, emotional and mental well-being, headaches & migraines and  stress.

Jikiden Reiki is a light touch therapy that allows your body to remember its own healing capacity. It brings Universal Energy into your physical body. This energy is already part of you so it feels very comfortable and safe. It brings awareness to areas of the body that need physical and emotional healing, that perhaps you are ignoring or having to work around. It brings a feeling of relief and balance, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
