We all know what anxiety feels like. We get butterflies in our stomachs, our hearts pound; we worry and fret, or feel jittery. This can happen when we are alone, in social contexts, elevators, in the car, or even just thinking about it. If worries and fears, anxiety, panic, or insomnia related to anxiety are preventing you from living your life the way you’d like, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure. In short it is our body’s response to a perceived threat.

I come alongside clients to support them in their healing journey. My job is to help my clients remember the connection they have lost with their bodies. When we were babies we were fully in touch with our needs and feelings. Because of participation in society and woundings of various forms (including social, physical, emotional, environmental, spiritual, relational, familial, etc.) we have disconnected from our bodies (our information centers). In session I support clients by creating a safe container for them to reconnect with themselves. A caterpillar uses pieces of earth to create a cocoon to transform into a moth.
