For us to work together, You Are

                   Open to….

  (while other sections share the work I offer,

this section is about what you're down for. :)

Non-Mainstream (& Intuitive) Approach

~You are open to Exploration, Discovery, exploring-outside-the-box, at times non-linear approach.

~You are open to receiving intuitive suggestions/ guidance, creative questions & at times differing approaches to what we’ve done before. (of course you are always at-choice to decline, if something doesn’t feel true for you.)

~You are open to integrative approach-- including body, emotions, greater-awareness, etc.

~This is not linear “fix-it” approach. Our work together is layered process of exploration, discovery, integrative-healing, & unknowns. We also support your Authentic unique self/ life to emerge lovingly/ safely (NOT trying to fit you into some mainstream-mold/model which someone-else or society decides is “fine” or "successful").

~You are open to occasional/ possible moments of "social engagement"/ "chit-chat" about random stuff (which may at times seem light/ surface), during session.... These moments can serve therapeutic-purpose amid bigger ebb & flow of session-work.

Somatics

~You are open to pausing, frequently, to be curious and present in-moment, to SENSE-IN (Physically, as well as emotionally, spiritually, imaginally) ~in order to connect w/ wisdom, richness & awareness, outside habit mind-patterns. Also to Ground/ Integrate.

~You are open to gently/ safely explore movement & impulses in body (& in emotions).

~You are open to allowing cycles/ rhythms to occur, within sessions. This often includes cycles of: Orienting to the place/ moment;  Sharing what’s up;  Exploring;  & then allowing time/ space to Integrate/ Ground/ Settle (not always jumping to next topic).

Spirituality

~ You are open to allowing Quiet Moments in our sessions-- giving space for things to settle, for integration, and for new discoveries to emerge.

~ You may sense we are more than just our bodies, minds, emotions and psyches.  In sessions, we deeply honor & work with the body/ emotions, AND we also tap into Wisdom greater than these.

~ You are open to being with spaces of “not-knowing”-- sitting together in the discomfort and/ or beauty of this not-knowing (which jumps-tracks of old mind-patterns, & allows for greater discovery).

~You are open to me pausing and closing my eyes at moments, as I sense-into flow.

Social Justice

~This may or may not actively enter our sessions, but~  You are open to mindful exploration/ questions, if certain conditioned “status quo” mindsets or social-biases emerge/ express in your session.   I also am open to such questioning, if i express not-so-socially aware/ not-just mindsets & blindspots.
