Embodied Listening: The Art of Listening and Presence Workshop

​

​​This 3 hour workshop is traveling across the country teaching people the art of listening to one's own body and bringing awareness to what's happening inside. This allows for each of us to become more present and open and to change our responses to life's challenges. We learn and practice how a mindful pause can change long held patterns and rewire our brain and nervous system. This is neuroplasticity in real time. Each class is uniquely designed based on the participants needs and experiences and will allow you to explore and support your inner knowing and awareness in a safe and curious environment. 

This workshop is for you if:

You are curious how it feels to be more available to respond to stressors rather than react

You experience stress in your job or personal life and want to learn and practice ways to feel calmer and help regulate your nervous system 

You are a bodyworker or therapist and want to learn more how to support yourself with clients

You want practical tools to feel more in your body and less in your head or emotions

Feel free to call or text for more information.

Need One on One Mentoring?

​​
I offer mentoring for both new CranioSacral Therapy students and for experienced practitioners. If you have questions regarding getting to deeper levels of work, have specific questions regarding clients or techniques, or want to prepare  for certification in CranioSacral Therapy, I may be able to help you. We can even arrange to work together with your client at my office for guidance and support. This is one on one time for your concerns and questions to be heard and addressed. 

As your mentor, I am there to offer grounded, experienced support for your growth and to empower you on your path in CST.  To me, gaining the visceral experience in your own body helps you to relate, understand and feel what happening in your client's body. We will work together designing a program that will work for you and your learning style.  And yes, you may even have homework!

If you are considering certification in CranioSacral Therapy, I offer mentoring to provide you with the support you need to make your certification experience an enjoyable learning process. When you get close to being ready to take your exam, we can even do a 'practice exam' to take the edge off of any test anxiety you may have.
