This work is somatically attuned conflict mediation.

Conflict and disagreement can overwhelm our nervous systems. When we have the skills we need, they don’t have to be overwhelming.

When we are overwhelmed, we have trouble accessing our feelings and needs, and communicating them with our loved ones.

In this work, I hold somatically attuned space for you to navigate these waters. Together, we learn and practice somatic tools to help us navigate those tricky moments in conflict when our nervous systems freak out. We learn how to notice and expand our nervous system’s capacity, and how to attune to each other’s nervous systems with care.

We practice these tools together live so that your body experiences them first hand, which makes it much easier to integrate into other parts of your life outside session.

I use Decolonized Non-Violent Communication to support us in connecting with our feelings, needs, and sensations and learn how to communicate what we are noticing in ourselves with our loved ones.

This work brings our Healing Companionship into the relational space.

In 1:1 Companionship sessions, we learn how to swim in our own energy, root into our own ground, and attune to our own nervous systems. In Relational Companionship sessions, we learn how to swim in relational energy. We learn how to attune to two or more nervous systems at once: our own, and the nervous systems of those we love. We learn how to tell the difference between our own and our loved ones energy, and we get to know a third thing: the energy we create together.

Have you ever had trouble discerning between your gunk and your loved one’s gunk? Who is feeling what? Who is carrying what? Have you ever carried someone else’s gunk for them without even realizing it? When this happens, it’s hard to keep a solid hold on our own ground and we loose our footing. We might even feel like we’re drowning.

This all gets a lot harder when conflict or disagreement surfaces. When we feel scared or overwhelmed, we can loose stock of what’s up or down and get disoriented quickly. When this happens, conflict tends to escalate as confusion rises and people become desperate for something to hold them up.

In this work, we learn how to hold onto ourselves in the trickiest of relational moments. We learn how to stay in touch with our needs and wants, and how to communicate them. We learn how to reduce overwhelm and escalation and stay present with our needs, wants, and collective wellbeing.

Relationships are Magic. When we have the somatic and communication tools to navigate these tricky relational moments, we can access even more of this Magic.

I am a light wizard. I use intuitive abilities and somatics to connect with your needs and guide our movements in session. Our spirit guides, ancestors, and teachers (both yours and mine) are always with us and they, too, support me in guiding you towards your goals.
