Mind-body Awareness Benefits

I draw from different schools of thought and treatment modalities, but most identify with:
- Transpersonal
- Existential
- Humanistic
- Jungian
- Gestalt
- Internal Family Systems
- Mindfulness based cognitive therapy
Deeply embedded memories or traumas are stored in our bodies. As we move, breathe and stretch, our body opens and unprocessed emotions can be released. Exploring these emotions is key to gaining clarity and finding ease and peace in life.
When tension is stored in the body, a fight-or-flight response occurs, creating more anxious, critical thoughts. Through mind-body awareness, our bodies provide guidance about many aspects of life—from nurturing relationships to enhancing effectiveness at work. Listening to the information from our body enables us to live with clarity and authenticity.

My Philosophy
We have the power to transform our traumas and habits that keep us stuck in perpetual cycles of stress, anxiety, depression, or addiction and step into freedom and peace.
By combining modern brain science with ancient practices such as meditation, I teach people how to become more aware of what's happening in the body through mindfulness practices. I focus on the mind-body connection because many of us haven't been taught how to listen to our bodies. I believe in embracing the mind-body connection, and want to help people live a more balanced and fulfilled life.
We know that our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and attitudes can affect our biological function. Learning to tune in to this mind-body connection can improve health and well-being. I offer practical strategies to calm our anxious minds, transform negative emotions, and facilitate greater self acceptance, freedom and inner peace.
My primary mission is to help people reconnect to the power of love. Self-love is the starting point for anyone seeking healing.

Over the years, I've learned that emotion means my truth would like to be set in motion — that is, to be fully felt and experienced on a somatic level so that I can touch and feel all the raggedy and smooth edges, lean into the lessons and release the emotions when the time is right. - Flora Bowley
