Healing from the Pressures of Patriarchy: You were never too much. You were never not enough. You were made to feel small.
You want to show up differently in the world. To take up space, to be creative and free, to blossom.
I can help. I work with people who were made to be small and, as a result, feel disconnected from their true selves. My clients are women , gender-expansive people, and families, many of them survivors of sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, trauma, and grief.
Just as a seed carries a blueprint for growth, so do you. What you need are the right conditions: safety, support, and time to heal your body, mind and spirit - on your own terms.
Let's make room for you to grow.
Some seasons call for deep, quiet root work, some call for steady tending over time and some we find ourselves growing amongst friends.
Whatever season you find yourself in I look forward to working with you.
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.
Nestled in Burlington County, New Jersey, the Seeds of Potential healing yurt is a beautiful retreat setting where deep, immersive healing becomes possible. Clients travel from around the world to join me here — because some healing calls for more than an hour a week. It calls for space, nature, presence, and time. Whether you are local or willing to travel, you are welcome.
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."
