About

Somatic Intelligence is the new Emotional Intelligence. When we become curious about getting directly to the heart of the matter rather than following our mind down countless rabbit holes, the body will not lie to us. There's a way of listening to the body to reach deeper, long-buried truths, hidden from our awareness for very sound reasons when we were young: Survival. Somatic psychotherapy is a way of reconnecting with 'what matters' instead of what we believe 'should' matter. Our beliefs have been imposed through the conditions in which we grew up. Tuning into the body can help clear up our most limiting beliefs. I particularly enjoy working with couples. Getting through challenging issues together can deepen bonds and help intimacy flourish. Partners can learn a way of communicating that bypasses talking in circles and leads straight to the heart of the matter. When rules for emotional safety are consistently honored, trust can build and intimacy can grow.
