Integrative Psychotherapy provides a holistic and gentle path for a body yearning for balance, ease, and flow. In Western medicine, the mind and body are often treated separately. Holistic healing acknowledges the connection between the two, drawing on practices from Eastern medicine that have been utilized for centuries. Often, inhibitors to homeostasis in the biology can be caused by not only by stress but by habitual choices and patterns related to diet, lifestyle, sleep hygiene, as well as increased levels of environmental toxins from an external chemically-laded world – think food additives, personal care products or household toxins. These stressors can create an allostatic load which is when bodily systems break down and mental health suffers. Exploring, investigating, tracking, and experimenting patterns with curiosity and non-judgement can reveal areas of imbalance needing focused attention. The biological exploration is supported by functional practitioners within the SomaThrive network who can provide integrative testing methods to identify accurate inhibitors and offer customized treatment plans. 

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a trauma-healing method developed by Dr. Peter Levine. It is a gentle, nervous-system–focused approach to resolving stress and trauma. Rather than working primarily with the story of what happened, we focus on how your body is holding the experience right now. SE is highly individualized. Each session is customized according to your needs, capacity, and goals. We move slowly and collaboratively, working in small, manageable increments so your nervous system can reorganize without overwhelm. Unlike Reiki or traditional bodywork, SE is not focused on energy transfer or muscular manipulation. While touch may be incorporated, it is intentional, consent-based, and used to support nervous system regulation — not to adjust tissue or channel energy.

Psycho-Spiritual exploration offers pathways to hear the whispers of your Soul. The Soul has been, and continues to be, a mystical subject in philosophical and existential discourse and unification since the beginning of time. It is ethereal and sacred. It is commonly described as our inner Light - an energy within and connected to a sacred awareness of expanded consciousness. The Soul invites us to be in relationship with the energy of impermanence – the awareness that we are all ONE and not separate. Simply, it is a sense of being in connection to ALL THAT IS. We live in a world and culture that rewards success by DOING and utilizes ego to drive us to achieve, accomplish, and conquer. The perpetual conditioning to produce, grind and hustle can lead to burnout, fatigue and a feeling of emptiness and sometimes, hopelessness. Spiritual exploration is an invitation to BEING. When doing has been the go-to manual for how to function on this planet, BEING can feel abstract, distant, flaky, superfluous and downright checked out of “reality”. To thrive with self-awareness, we need to be alert to the idea that consciousness is constantly being hijacked by Ego – and perhaps a healthy balance of both is the gateway to understanding the path of living a life beyond survival. The incessant noise coming from societal discourse, politically motivated division and social and geo-engineering in all forms causes fear, anger, and utter moral fatigue. People are desperately seeking a way out of the Matrix. The good news is that Humanity has entered the gateway towards awakening to itself as powerful beings of Light that can co-create their reality by leading from authentic truth and inner authority. Psycho-spiritual exploration is a transformative initiation for navigating profound identity shifts during life’s rawest transitions and helps to rewire nervous systems for radical authenticity. 

Facial Reflexology + Connective Tissue Release is a hands on treatment blending somatic and biology together. Your fascia holds stories, too… micro-tensions, emotional residues, and imprints from stress and trauma. Working directly with your connective tissue, this intervention is a gentle hands-on connection with the face, neck, and chest area above the collar bone. Softening the fascia in these areas release stored tension, awaken your vagus nerve, and increase lymphatic flow. This isn’t aesthetic touch. It’s nervous system medicine. The face and neck are gateways to the vagus nerve — the body’s main pathway for regulation and calm. By releasing and nurturing these tissues, we communicate safety to your entire system.
