Healing from the roots up
Individual Therapy Retreats, Coaching, and Workshops for Individuals and Families
Healing for the Whole Person or the Whole Family
Do you long to show up differently — for yourself, for your partner, for your children, maybe even your community — but feel like something keeps getting in the way?
Maybe you feel like something is off. You don't feel at home in your own skin. There's a part of you that never quite healed, or a story that still needs to be told. You've worked hard, loved hard, tried hard — and still find yourself stuck in old patterns, reacting in ways that surprise you, hurting yourself and the people you love.
Here's what I believe: there is a small part inside of you that makes you you. It hasn't gone anywhere. It doesn't need fixing — it needs the right conditions to grow.
That's the work we'd do together. Not papering over what hurts, but going down to the roots — tending your nervous system, reconnecting with the part of you that's been waiting for safety, and helping you live and lead from a place of congruent integrity: what you feel, what you value, and how you show up, finally in alignment.
If any of this lands somewhere in your chest, you're exactly who I'm writing to.
You, like a seed, do not grow all at once and you don't grow alone. Some seasons call for deep, quiet root work. Some call for steady tending over time. Some call for the warmth of a whole garden growing alongside you. And some healing starts at the very beginning — with the smallest seeds, and the families who tend them. Wherever you're starting, there's a way to work together.
Some healing calls for more than an hour a week — it calls for space, nature, presence, and time. In the Seeds of Potential yurt in Burlington County, NJ, we go deep: into the body, the nervous system, and the stories that have been waiting to be met. Clients travel from around the world for this work, because sometimes you need to go all the way down to the root before anything new can grow.
A 16-week program
This is steady, ongoing tending. Using a framework I call Congruent Integrity, we identify where you're stuck, get clear on your core values, and build the practice of living — day by day — with greater alignment between who you are and how you show up. Growth isn't a single breakthrough; it's what happens when something gets tended consistently, over time.
Classes, workshops, and the annual Bone by Bone retreat
Healing doesn't only happen in a room alone — it happens in community, witnessed and mirrored by others. Throughout the year, join me for workshops exploring the archetypes and metaphors of the parts of us that need reclaiming or healing. Each year, that work deepens into Bone by Bone, a weekend retreat built to help you come back into your body, piece by piece.
Classes, workshops, and camps
This is where it starts. I work with children and families healing attachment wounds — tending to the seeds inside a child (and inside a family system) that have been neglected, dismissed, or hurt, so they can blossom: colorful, fertile, alive. When we tend the smallest seeds early, we change what grows for generations.
I'm Lunden, a licensed and certified somatic therapist and trauma and relationship expert. My work is rooted in mind, body, and spirit. With over 20 years of experience, I weave together attachment, neurobiology, parts work, movement, somatic, nature, creative, and expressive therapies to honor the whole self.
Just like a seed carries an innate blueprint to grow, so do you. You were designed for health, wholeness, and aliveness. You just need the right conditions — and the roots to grow from.
I have had the privilege of witnessing numerous people find ease in their bodies and return to their authentic, creative, playful, powerful selves. I look forward to doing the same with you.
"After years of therapy I felt aware of my problems and potential solutions, but stuck when trying to self actualize. Something felt like it was in the way. Through deep preparation, Lunden helped me create goals to drive the intensive and during our three days together I was able to ground down in my body, connect with nature’s allies, and really devote time to looking back to move forward. I felt deeply seen and heard and was so blown away by how much self knowledge and freedom I was leaving the nature retreat with each day. It was a priceless experience for me that I will carry with me as I keep moving forward."
"Working with Lunden for a 3-day intensive was and continues to be one of the best decisions I’ve made on my journey toward healing and okay-ness. I didn’t know sand-tray stuff could be as magically profound as it was.
There is possibility where there was once only darkness. As I sit here looking at the photographs of the sand-tray toys proof it did happen; proof that the shifts I made, the realizations I had, the digging up parts of myself were real. These profound and magical moments did happen, and I will be forever grateful as I continue moving in this new landscape of possibility and wonder."
"I have been seeing Lunden for about 8 (!?) years now and I can not speak more highly of her. I had seen several other therapists prior and none felt right. With Lunden I feel seen and heard. She offers incredible insight and has thorough knowledge about trauma, the nervous system, the way the brain works, and the body's response. I could not imagine being on this healing journey with anyone else. Lunden is fantastic."
