COACHING
Personal empowerment coaching is an integrated, person-centred approach that respects your values and autonomy. Our sessions are curated to each person's unique lived experience, desires, and vision. They are a place of embodied safety, curiosity, expansion, open communication, and co-creation—offering a compassionate space to remove the masks we often wear and the personas we've assimilated to please others or feel safe. Tears and anger are just as welcome as smiles!
As your coach, I am here to support your internal inquiry and desired outcome by offering the time and space to reconnect back to your wholeness and power as you discover fresh ways of being and doing that bring you pleasure, fulfillment, and confidence and allow you to step into self-leadership and thrive!
Brainspotting
Developed by Dr. David Grand, PhD, Brainspotting is a therapeutic technique that taps into the brain's natural healing ability. It involves identifying and focusing on specific eye positions, called "brain spots," corresponding to areas in the brain where unresolved trauma and emotional distress is stored. Once a brain spot is identified, the client is encouraged to maintain focus on these brain spots to access and process deep-seated emotions, sensations, and memories, leading to healing and resolution.
In Brainspotting, the therapist's role is pivotal. The technique emphasizes the significance of present awareness and the therapist's dual attunement to the client in the therapeutic relationship—enhancing the effectiveness.
Brainspotting honours the client's autonomy and self-discovery, creating a client-led process in which the therapist follows the client's inner experience and pace.
I bring Brainspotting into coaching sessions with my clients permission, and offer standalone or add-on sessions (to current or former coaching clients only) to further process and integrate newly forming neural pathways of behaviours, patterns and beliefs and the sensations which accompany them.
The Non-Linear Movement Method®
The Non-Linear Movement Method® (NLMM) is a powerful somatic modality developed by Michaela Boehm over the past 2 decades.
The method is rooted in her early somatic training and has been developed and refined within her extensive clinical experience, both while working within a demographic with severe trauma, addiction and personality disorders, as well as in her private counseling practice.
The method is specifically designed as a “no force/no imposition” somatic modality and can be practiced by anyone, regardless of physical health, ability, fitness level or age.
It is a modality that connects us with our inner landscape, exploring and releasing physical contractions, withholds and emotional closures, interoception, responsiveness, as well as locating pleasure and aliveness within the body.
I have trained with Michaela Boehm and Steve James, and am qualified to teach this method, bringing it to our 1:1 coaching sessions in support of rewilding the nervous system, facilitating internal inquiry, and establishing embodied sovereignty and empowerment. After practicing this method consistently myself, I can honestly say it has been the most transformative and empowering embodiment practice I have done.
NLMM is facilitated on a mat or blanket. Participants dress similar to a Yoga or Dance Class, in comfortable, non-restrictive clothing.
The method can be practiced at any age, fitness level and mobility. The movements are designed to be self regulating and can be done in any position, including laying down or sitting.
Benefits of the method:
Regulates the Nervous System
The demands of modern life create stress and tension in the body and an overactive mind. NLMM encourages the identifying and unwinding of patterns of contraction. Through gentle, non-force movements bodily tension and underlying mental loops are relieved. The result is a systematic, self-guided unburdening of the nervous system.
Processes and Identifies Emotions
As the body unwinds and the mind relaxes its pressured pace, the emotions associated with these contractive patterns become apparent and can be dissolved through the movement. You can note recurring emotional loops for further processing and at the same time allow emotions to simply arise and let go.
Releases Trauma Patterns into Flow
One of the common results of traumatic experience (fresh and old alike) is “freeze,” a state in which body, mind and emotions are stuck in a state of numbness. Often “freeze” is falsely perceived as a feeling of “calm/nothing,” which results in an inability to release the experience and ease the bodily patterns of hold. NLMM facilitates a continued movement, which gently opens the freeze pattern and allows for recognition and release of the underlying bodily and emotional patterns.
Unites Mind and Body in Intimacy with Physical Sensation
Through continued engagement with release of contraction and facilitation of emotional awareness, the ingrained patterns become both more apparent and less pronounced. Over time, physical sensation can be more fully engaged with, and the acceptance as well as tolerance of all sensation increases. Intimacy with whatever is present is possible. Body, Emotion and Mind can align to support an integrated approach to feeling and understanding existing behavioral patterning.
Creates High Bodily Responsiveness
NLMM educates the body how to release and process contractions, stress and emotional tension while at the same time sensitizing you to your internal landscape. This is called “Interoception,” the ability to feel what is “inside.” Via the body we become highly attuned to all sensations and can note, react or release fluidly and without having to attend to traumatic or suppressed backlog.
Opens Access to Bodily Wisdom
By putting emphasis on movement and circumventing the analytical mind and loops of tense thinking the natural intelligence of our bodies is accessed. Through gentle guidance the mechanisms of “freeze” and refusal to feel are being loosened and our innate bodily wisdom can create the necessary actions and releases.
Awakens Vital Energy and Sensual Sensation
As tension, contraction, and emotion are being released, the body becomes sensitized and we are able to feel deeper. One of the marked results of this sensitization is an ability to feel increased pleasure and well being. Participants report an increased ability to connect through their body, both with themselves and others.
