What I offer:
Expressive Arts Therapy
Expressive Art Therapy (ExAT) is a relational, arts-based, cognitive and somatic therapy that purposefully integrates art making, movement, music, theatre, storytelling and poetry into a therapeutic experience to evoke healing, transformation and the resolution of strong emotions. No artistic skill is needed to participate in this therapeutic work. ExAT is an ancient practice with deep Indigenous roots. As a trauma and nervous system informed practitioner, I also bring this awareness to my work.

What is Nervous System RESET?
In the Nervous System RESET program I offer, I teach you how to regulate your nervous system so you can reconnect with a felt sense of safety. As you connect with the sensations in your body, gather resources to settle your nervous system, and slowly resolve stored stress energy, you will begin to shift out of living in a stress response and begin to live a more calm, balanced, joyful and pleasurable life.
Nervous System RESET is an educational and somatic (body-based) wellness model that teaches you how to work with your body to better manage the effects of stress in your life. This work helps you to connect with the sensations in your body and cultivate a feeling of safety at a cellular level while building capacity and resilience.
In this program you will:
- learn how to connect with and track the sensations in your body
- learn what the sensations of stress and safety physiology can feel like in your body
- discover self care tools, that you can use daily, to help you settle your nervous system and build capacity
- create a customized toolbox of resources that will support your nervous system to become resilient and regulated
