Whole body nervous system healing.
Learn to thrive and claim your creative and powerful self.
The immersive therapy program offers deep root work, to address core wounds, so you can heal mind, body, and spirit. Many people who seek immersive therapy have tried regular therapy and find themselves ready for deeper healing. They are ready to get to the root.
Rather than opening and closing your story each week, you will be held in an extended, unfolding process — free to explore your healing without the constraints of a traditional session.
Together we will determine your needs, intentions and goals. To guide and personalize your experience I will combine a variety of therapeutic approaches such as; attachment, play, somatic, bilateral work, EFT, Prolonged Exposure, IFS, Dance/Movement and expressive therapies and eco-therapy.
You can attend an immersive multi-day therapy program by yourself or with your family.
