• Our Philosophy

    Welcome to our practice, where you can learn about how we work with our clients to support and guide them on their healing journey.

    At The Center for Interpersonal Embodied Healing, we know that taking a leap to find support is a big step and honor the fact that you may have questions, or even fears, as you determine whether working with a coach might be a good decision.

    In our opinion, finding the right practitioner is one of the most vital steps of your journey, as the space we create together needs to feel safe, secure and in alignment with your recovery goals.

    Below you will find information on how we work with our clients, what you can expect from the Interpersonal Embodied Healing modality and frequently asked questions.

    If you have any other questions, you may schedule a consultation call or reach out via email, and we’ll do our best to get back to you as promptly as possible.

What is Interpersonal Embodied Healing?

 Interpersonal Embodied Healing is an approach to unwinding the layers of disconnection, adaptive protection, suppressed emotion, nervous system dysregulation and survival-oriented patterns of relating that are at the heart of living with trauma, including complex, shock and developmental forms.

 We are inherently relational beings. As such, both our deepest fears and deepest longings center around both connection and disconnection and our ability to feel safe and secure inside of them, whether with ourselves, one another or within the world at large.

 This is the interpersonal nature of healing; how our fullest human expression both impacts and is impacted by the environments and contexts we are formed in or what we might call a biopsychosocial perspective.

 Interpersonal Embodied Healing seeks to create a safe, inquiry-based space to explore the deeper needs, feelings, beliefs, wants and expressions that arise through any one human, such that they can be witnessed, contained and integrated in ways that allow for development to resume and change to become possible as positive flow and movement are restored after trauma.

 Our goal is to support, respect, care for and bring compassion to the human experience in all its many expressions through the lens of secure, available relating and embodiment.

What you can expect in your coaching block:

  • Your work will be made up of individualized coaching sessions and occasional at-home exercises or practices to work with between sessions for a comprehensive, applicable approach to healing.

    We will focus on goals like: noticing and shifting adaptive patterns, processing trauma or difficult life experiences, regulating your nervous system, shifting your autonomic baseline, earning secure attachment status, integrating incomplete developmental experiences, reparenting inner parts and helping you understand your mind and body through top-down, psycho-educational language and resourcing.

each block includes:

  • Twelve weekly or bi-weekly coaching sessions where we work with your body, mind and current stressors or historical experiences to integrate and process anything that may be interrupting your health, relationships or functional life.

  • At-home practices between sessions to assist you in applying the skills from our work together to your lived experiences.
