Welcome to Somatic Therapy Bodywork at AIM. I am honoured to work in the rainforest of British Columbia and on the traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples of the West Coast. I feel an abundance of gratitude to be a visitor of this beautiful land and call it home. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Somatic Bodyworker and touch practitioner, I specialize in body focused therapy that supports healing from the effects of chronic stress, traumatic events, early life, inter-generationally and transgenrationally transmitted trauma. My scope of practice includes what I know in my own nervous system as well as clients who have gifted me the shared sight into theirs. My scope includes both single and complex post traumatic stress. Single events may include a car accident, surgery, cancer treatment, injury or a traumatic event like an attack and may require only a few sessions to resolve and restore regulation. Where as, consecutive accidents, surgeries or loss and grief may create a more complex pattern in your body and nervous system and require more sessions.
Ever more complex patterns exist when early life stressors and untreated trauma is transmitted inter generationally in behaviours, narratives and within our nervous system. This has an epigenetic impact within us from our conception onwards in our lives. We may suffer from chronic pain and fatigue, insomnia, migraines, irritable bowl syndrome, sleep and hormonal imbalances, attention deficit disorder, anxiety, mental health disorders, autoimmune conditions or metabolic disease.
In each session, whether we are in a chair or doing work on a table or online, my deep understanding of the human body, our nervous system and years of working with clients, is the lens that my scope of practice is grounded in. Working to address the layers of traumatic stress that becomes stored in our bodies, creating pain and all too predictable patterns that prevent us from enjoying our lives and connecting with our bodies, hearts and spirit. Sharing our story and experiences in life is important and much of what is patterning in our bodies has a non verbal story, one told by our bodies that is often different than our thinking brain. Imbalances and chronic patterns are especially present with early, intergenerational and transgenerational transmission of traumatic stress as well as unresolved shock traumas that become compounded.
I bring to my practice 25 years of bodywork and massage experience. My own experience in life as a mother of three, having experienced motor vehicle accidents, surgeries, early life and inter-generationally and transgenerationally transmitted trauma patterns. This led me to seek out body based, nervous system work to heal.
Education:
I completed my certification in Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Aromatherapy and Body mechanics in 2001. In 2013, I continued my studies, completing an Applied Bachelors’ degree in pre-counselling Psychology. My studies included early human development, self regulation and emotional intelligence.
Honouring my many years of experience working with my clients’ nervous systems through massage practice. In 2019, I began my studies in Somatic Experiencing®, a body based therapy model for traumatic stress regulation and trauma resolution and I have taken specialized training to offer my sessions in person and online.
Having a felt sense that there was something deeper and earlier that needed to be addressed within myself, I continued my studies in the Somatics of Early Developmental Trauma, Epigenetics and Somatic Attachment, completing Somatic Practice® Touch skills and Resilience and Regulation® training. This focus helps me provide the capacity and skills needed for clients healing from the effects of transmitted and early trauma by working directly with their nervous system and their innate resiliency to restore regulation and access their vital life energy.
