Embodying The Power of Your Aliveness

Photography by: Leslee R Goldstein

For over 20 years, I consistently engaged in personal growth and spiritual work hoping to feel better before realizing I had to deal with my early traumas (unwanted birth, neglect, immigration, parental discord, etc.).

With my trauma therapist's encouragement and vetting, I was accepted with just an undergrad in psychology into the NARM therapist level training in one of the earlier cohorts, then advanced to NARM Masters level.

The Gift of My Life's Work

Although NARM is a psychotherapy model, it is grounded in spiritual Presence, heartfulness and reconnection to our life force energy.

I feel blessed to have access to this leading-edge modality to support clients to align with their wholeness and aliveness.

I've continued to expand my skills in NARM as well as with other modalities. Below is a list.

NARM for Attachment, relational, developmental Trauma

Somatic Experiencing for shock traumas

Co-regulation Touch for preverbal traumas
