TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE
A healing space in which the somatic expressions of trauma can be safely addressed, with no agenda other than your wellbeing. Encouragement to ask questions and ask for what you need. Sessions responsive to how you are on that day and time, which may or may not use needles, because sometimes needles may be too much. A process in which you have choice. Space for the many facets of you and your identities to be held.
COLLABORATION
Agency and choice in your care. Recognition that you know your body better than any medical provider possibly can. A container and a helping hand to facilitate listening to the body and what it’s trying to communicate. Acknowledgement and respect when your body says “yes” and when it says “no.”
SAFE HAVEN
A space free of judgement, shaming, or should’s, in which you can walk your unique path at your own path, where all types of bodies and genders are welcome. A space to experience your own vulnerability within the safety of authentic connection and presence, where you get to be deeply seen and heard, and where your true self has permission to shine through.
HEALING
The opportunity to unravel your body’s story in a healing context. Presence and attention. One-on-one care informed by polyvagal and attachment theories. Support for pain, anxiety and other symptoms. Individualized treatment plans leveraging acupuncture, somatic and/or hands-on therapies to support you. Encouragement for small, sustainable changes that support resilience and nurture the healing of frazzled, overwrought and exhausted bodies.
