The Devotional Body Ecology
Somatic Ritual Counseling
A place to listen inward, and learn how to meet what is arising with greater steadiness, curiosity, and care. Ultimately nourishing the malnourished places inside.
There are chapters when life brings more to the surface.
Old memories may emerge. Emotions may become more vivid. Relationships may bring familiar patterns into focus. You may find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, uncertain, or simply aware that something in you is asking for attention. Perhaps the next layer of something you've already been tending is ready for more presence.
Somatic Ritual Counseling offers a place to meet these experiences through the body, rather than trying to think your way through everything.
The Practice
My approach is informed by Hakomi, a mindfulness-based trauma informed somatic psychology that brings curiosity and compassion to the present-moment experience of the body.
Together, we slow down enough to notice what is actually happening: a sensation, an emotion, an impulse, a thought, a protective response, a memory, a longing.
You don't have to arrive knowing what something means.
There is a learning in discovering how you meet what arises.
Over time, this can create more choice in the moments when life feels charged, uncertain, or difficult to navigate. You begin to develop the capacity to stay connected to yourself while experiencing what is here.
We May Explore
Ritual &
Embodied Practice
When it feels supportive, we may bring in simple ritual, reflection, nature-based practices, movement, or other embodied ways of marking and tending to what you are moving through.
Microdosing Tending
& Integration
If microdosing is part of your current practice, we can gently track what you are noticing, explore what the medicine may be bringing into awareness, and tend to your experiences between sessions.
Developing Inner Resources
Together we will cultivate practical ways to orient, ground, listen, and reconnect when life feels overwhelming or when something tender is asking to be met.
Our Container
Each session offers space to work with what is alive for you in the present moment.
We may spend one session exploring a recurring memory or relational experience, another listening to a sensation in the body, another tending to something that surfaced through microdosing, and another creating a ritual to help you move through something you are releasing, make space for something that is changing, or honor a part of your life that is coming to an end.
Each session follows what is arising. And there is no need to have to prepare for the sessions, we simply meet each moment with what is arising and learn to listen for what wants to happen moment to moment.
