Trauma Recovery

Services for children, adults & families provided with the sensitivity, insight, and gentle care that is needed to heal from a challenging experience.

This program utilizes a bodymind approach to release and resolve trauma. Specific brain structures that are known to carry the memory of trauma, such as the Amygdala, are addressed, as is the release of cellular fear and tissue memory. In your own timing, process-oriented bodywork, such as Heart Centered Therapy, Somato-emotional Release and Unwinding, is used to gently encourage awareness and insight development. Mindful movement and meditation techniques are taught for cultivating inner peace. Craniosacral therapy and Myofascial Release techniques facilitate core integration.

Previous and ongoing consultation with a licensed mental health practitioner is recommended. Referrals can be provided.

Preconception & Beyond

For families during the childbearing years

Preconception Care

A combination of relaxing and therapeutic bodywork and mindful movement to reduce stress, restore body alignment and develop awareness of how to address your needs during pregnancy before you actually conceive. The techniques can address soft tissue restrictions in the abdomen and pelvis or elsewhere in the body that may be preventing conception (refer to our Women’s Health section for additional information on pelvic floor rehabilitation). Structural balancing of the pelvis optimal alignment of the spine, core stablilty, and postural awareness are all addressed as an integral part of this program. This work is truly designed to prepare you to carry your baby with greater confidence, emotional balance, and physical comfort. It will provide you with sound tools that you can use for relaxation, improving structural alignment, and moving with greater ease throughout your pregnancy. This program is highly recommended for women desirous of a vaginal delivery following a previous cesarean birth. Please note that this program is not intended to address your comprehensive needs during pregnancy, but certainly is a great way to get started.
