Somatic Therapy & Acupuncture
At Vessel Healing Arts, healing starts in the body. It begins with the breath, the pulse and the quiet signals that come up when we slow down enough to notice them. I use acupuncture and somatic therapy to help you listen inward and meet what's there with curiosity instead of force. Nothing needs to be fixed or pushed. The body already knows how to soften, settle and come back into balance when it feels safe.
This is a practice of allowing. We make room for what wants to move, like tension letting go, emotion rising and falling, or breath deepening on its own. Surrender here isn't giving up. It's a gradual trust in the intelligence of your own nervous system and in the mystery that holds us all. Our work together is a space to rest, feel and remember the wholeness that's been there all along.
“Talking can convey a defense against feeling... and that’s why some of the best therapy is largely non verbal, where the main task of the therapist is to help people feel what they feel - to notice what they notice, to see how things flow within themselves, and to re-establish their sense of time inside”
-Bessel van der Kolk
“I am an advocate for a soul pyschology that senses vitality in every emotion, whatever life offers to us in the moment.”
