A Creative Approach Towards Self-Healing, Wholeness & Freedom
A Creative Approach Towards Self-Healing, Wholeness & Freedom
Self-Healing is a recovery process from psychological and emotional wounds, motivated and guided by a person's own inner wisdom. To facilitate that, I bring together the expressive arts, meditation practices, and community to promote holistic healing, consciousness expansion, and embodied experience.

In inviting a relationship between the conscious and the unconscious mind, we create space for memories and emotions stored in the body and below the surface of consciousness to rise into awareness. That way, we can explore and process them in creative ways, in the present moment's safety.
​
Each person is unique, as we are all shaped by our personal experiences. They leave in us a series of imprints from which we form our identities and narratives. So imagine that there is an entire universe within you. A universe that is particular and mostly unknown. Wouldn't it be amazing to explore its landscapes, its inhabitants, and everything else that constitutes it? That's what I am inviting you to do: travel inwards to get to know yourself intimately, allowing the journey to transform you in ways yet unknown.​

There is nothing wrong or bad with you. There are just wounded parts that need tending.
I offer a nurturing container where you will establish mindful presence within your body and safely explore your depths and multitudes, honoring both your strengths and vulnerabilities.
​
Like a "cocoon", our time together is a space for compassionate, patient, and creative exploration and nourishing of your body, psyche, emotions, and spirit.
​
We work to dissolve old defenses, including the ingrained holding patterns that reflect and keep such defenses in place limiting you and causing you suffering.
​
This process of reconnection paves the way for renewal within your Self, fostering integration, deep healing, and growth - the opening of the chrysalis and expression of your wholeness.
Our bodies store imprints - both negative and positive - from our lived experiences. We tend to organize our sense of self and alignment around old emotional scripts, where the negative imprints tend to hold more weight than the positive.
When left unexplored, we continue to organize ourselves around the old wounds, traumas, beliefs, patterns, and postures that cause us pain, restrict our authentic expression, and hinder our ability to relate expansively with ourselves, others, and life. It stunts our growth.
Our bodies reveal how we are challenged today by these unattended wounds - through our movement, posture, breath, voice, and authentic creative expression. The body reflects what lives within the unconscious layers of ourselves.
The body keeps both the marks and the maps: They reveal our personal myth (the old life stories that we unconsciously keep on living) and the physical, emotional, and psychological patterns associated with them - while also allowing us to process emotions and experiences, integrate the multiple parts of ourselves, and transform pain and trauma into resources and healing.
When we tend to the body in this way, our nervous system is naturally encouraged to release and metabolize the trapped energy from trauma, and to restore its innate capacity to self-regulate, heal, reintegrate, and expand life.
A generative and process-oriented approach to healing and personal growth, organized around narrative, embodied support, movement explorations, and somatic-artistic interventions.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A SESSION
We seamlessly transition between conversation and embodied explorations through somatic-based practices and creative expression, integrating elements like somatic meditation & mindfulness, somatic movement, expressive movement, expressive drawing, journaling, creative writing, breath work, sounding, performance ritual, and creative collaboration.
​
Somatic interventions involve tuning into your organic movements, breath, body metaphors, dreams, and the unconscious.
The Expressive Arts help you to align your outward expression with your authentic inner experience, allowing for clarity and resolution of inner conflicts.
Through the creative process, we capture ephemeral feelings and unconscious information, making them tangible and available for exploration. You build physical and emotional repertoire, and create new experiences of relaxation, safety, belonging, and trust within your body and self that will bring real change into your life.
