My approach is deeply rooted in the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit. I firmly believe that all three aspects require equal guidance and love to address profound and complex traumas. I work on the body through sound healing and energy and direct the muscles' warmth through therapeutic massage. This approach acknowledges that the tension in our muscles and the clutter in our minds are interdependent—neither could exist without the other. This understanding shapes how we engage with our lives, the world around us, and how we interact with others.
Art therapy can encourage self-expression, boost self-esteem, and facilitate emotional healing. Integrating these therapies undeniably offers an all-around holistic approach to well-being, skillfully addressing health's physical and emotional aspects. Without a means for creative expression, we often disconnect from our bodies and live in our heads, overly relying on a system primarily geared towards problem-solving and rationalizing information. This can cause us to get stuck in unhelpful thought patterns, such as relying on the minor dopamine hits and reward responses our brains crave, allowing our thoughts to dwell on unconstructive past or future events.
It's crucial to acknowledge that many of us are at the mercy of our own minds, which can sometimes be unkind if left unchecked. However, recognizing when we are in these negative thought patterns and gently redirecting our thoughts towards something more constructive can be a powerful tool for mental well-being. By combining these modalities for my clients, I aim to guide them to a deeper understanding beyond the physical level.
