Welcome to

— I OWN ALL OF ME —

A trauma-informed, trauma-embodied mentorship program that helps you return to your Self

 

Pick the scenario(s) below that best describe your current reality:

  • Recovery from historical trauma

    You have childhood or other old traumas that are negatively impacting your ability to be your authentic self—and worse, compromising your health. You have a history of dissociation or find it more safe to be “out of your body” instead of in your body. Being in your body feels scary and the world feels unsafe. You don’t even know how to be in your body. No one taught you how to self-regulate or co-regulate your nervous system.

  • Recovery and transition after labor

    You are either pregnant or have given birth and are stuck in that in-between of who you used to be and who you are now. You are not feeling quite yourself or aren’t recovering optimally after labor.

  • Life after [ X ]

    You haven’t felt the same since the global pandemic / your (minor or major) car accident / your divorce / the death of a loved one / that major life transition / all of the above at once. You ask yourself what’s next and maybe even cognitvely understand what happened and where to go, but you feel stuck. Your body is resistant to change or hasn’t quite caught up to the present. In the most extreme case, your body is stuck in extreme fight-flight-freeze, and it’s affecting your ability to move forward.

  • The chronic forgetting of Self

    You have a chronic and constant pattern of forgetting what and who you are. This causes feelings of being stuck, blocked, loss of traction in life and place, disconnection, isolation, estrangement—and at worst, alienation from Self and/or others. You don’t know where this pattern of darkness comes from but you need to find out. Or you do know, but you can’t seem to figure out how to break the cycle of forgetting.

  • Addictions and distractions

    You feel a constant and nagging lack, emptiness, or want—a hole to be filled or an itch to be scratched. You try to fill it with food, sex, shopping, external validation, drugs, or other material comforts. You chronically get triggered, become forgetful of your purpose, and turn to distractions and other compulsive behaviors. You are on the continuum of recovery/sobriety and the addictions and distractions are no longer working for you. You need holistic support to move forward.

Pick the results you are looking for:

 

You are more than what happened to you!

 

You do not forget what has happened to you, yet you have successfully “digested the gristle” of it. You have given your whole body the space and time to process what happened, turning it into inner power, a sense of safety, wisdom, and fuel for your missions. What’s more, you have the awareness of—and tools to deal with—your triggers, so that you can access the choice to respond instead of reacting from impulse.

 

You are a multi-dimensional human!

 

You are a thriving parent, role model, creative, friend, lover, and [insert all your chosen roles here]! You feel more yourself and more healthy (even after labor, *gasp*) than you did before. You are able to get your needs met. You have the awareness and tools to stay present with everything life throws your way and to feel continuously empowered.

 

More me, more free!

 

You have reset and restored your fight-flight-paralysis response and are in true, embodied relationship with all parts of your Self—mind, body, energy, spirit, and emotions. Life is challenging, yet you have the awareness and tools to navigate your triggers and whatever else gets thrown your way, and always return to your center. You own your choices and have an inner confidence that no one can take away from you.

Welcome home—a remembrance!

 

You have arrived and are wholly engaged in your first home, YOU. You feel comfortable living fully in your body and being present with every part of you—mind, body, spirit, energy, and emotions. Embodying all aspects of your Self is an everyday part of life. You recognize that life is challenging—that it is the workshop not the art gallery—but you are not victimized by your circumstances and easily stay the course. You have the awareness and tools needed to stay connected to your calling and to your true reality. You never forget what and who you are, and when you are confused, you know where to go. You give yourself permission to bloom and harvest the fruits of your life. CONGRATULATIONS.

 

Restoration of the Sovereign Self, fully accountable!

 

“Sobriety is as treacherous as it is tedious. You are not the worst thing that has happened to me, just the most recent.” —Elementary

The courage, fortitude, and perseverance needed to be sober about what and who you are is NO JOKE and you are doing it! There is absolutely nothing more safe than someone who is fully accountable for their own self—that is you, my friend! You uncovered the lack, the hole, the pit and filled it with something more beautiful, with more light than any material means can provide. You are a free and sovereign being. You know full well that the journey never ends, but you decided to be fully present, being you and being enough, because that’s exactly what the world needs in order to change for the better. You found an inner peace that no one can take away and you recognize that this peace is what leads to world peace. The shame, embarrassment, and other feelings of unworthiness have been replaced. You have the awareness and tools to navigate your triggers so as to not let anything take you out. And hell, if it does, you are able to come back faster than before, taking it all on as learning, not as a mechanism for more shame. You are your own hero.

 

I OWN ALL OF ME
mentorship program methodology:

I work with all dimensions of the self- physical (fascia, muscle, viscera, fluids, blood, qi, bodily sensations), mind (thoughts), heart (emotions), psyche/ego, and spirit- that are in dis-ease and causing separation of the Whole, so that you stay open and fully aligned with your purpose. This is the place inside where you find meaning, what drives you and keeps you inherently connected to that of the Dao (the Great Mystery, the Heavens, the Creator above) and the sacred lands of Mother Earth below.

Three ways to work with me:

  • In-person

    This speaks for itself. This is where you receive my integrative acupuncture and bodywork services, along with any coaching and lifestyle counseling work.

  • Remote / distance work

    For those that live out of town or simply prefer this method of work, there is so MUCH we can do over the phone. Of course I can’t needle you or put healing hands on you, but that doesn’t limit what we can achieve. Releasing burdens + getting to the root and heart of the matter through storytelling and process work, integral coaching, supplements and prescription formulations, and all lifestyle counseling can all be effectively done over the phone.

  • The mix

    You guessed it: this is a mix of in-person and remote sessions for those that travel a lot or are in need of a more flexible approach with their program.

The 3 pillars of the program

 

01. Investigate, uncover, gather, remember, and IMAGINE

It begins with a comprehensive intake, interview, and evaluation, where I listen to all your concerns to get a holistic context for the dis-ease. We get clear on how you want to feel in your body and what’s in the way of that, then create a treatment approach to actualize your vision of true and empowered health.

02. Clear, eliminate, restore, fortify, and NOURISH

We uncover what is blocking you, what is stuck, and what internal systems are in dysfunction, then eliminate all the debris, damp, torpor, stasis, phlegm, and stagnation. Either once the debris is eliminated, or while it is moving out, we work to nourish, restore, and fortify all your systems and aspects of Self—mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and psyche.

03. Make choices, grow, learn, evolve, give and TAKE CONSCIOUS ACTION

This is where you learn to sustain the YOU that has been recovered with daily habits and routines. To further your identified treatment plan, we work together to replace the habits and patterns of life that no longer serve you with restorative and nourishing ones. This process comes from engaging with your higher Self, from a place of extreme self-compassion and non-judgment—you learn to give yourself everything you have ever needed and come understand when and how to ask for help, encouragement, and accompaniment from those around you.

 

This program uses the 3 levels of healing from classical Chinese medicine:

  • 1. Spiritual fulfillment

    Work at the level of the shen (Spirit) to bring it closer to the Dao / Creator—this is all about maintaining and strengthening connection to:

    1. Our essential selves.

    2. The interconnectedness of our communities, the heavens, and the lands we responsibly steward.

    3. What brings us meaning and fulfillment in the material realm, as dictated by our shen’s connection to the Dao.

    As a practitioner of classical Chinese Medicine, I believe that by keeping your heart/shen open and clear, and in harmony with all other organ relationships, these dynamic connections naturally occur.

  • 2. Prevention

    Supplement, nourish, and support what is deficient and treat the pattern of dysfunction. Avoid disease and complex medical diagnosis. Lifestyle counseling and the creation and maintenance of nourishing habits that mirror the Self are emphasized here.

  • 3. Symptomatic

    Treat the symptoms and stop the spreading of dis-ease.

  • Because each person and each experience is unique, it’s really hard to say. For some, this can take 1 - 3 sessions; for others, 4 - 8; for others still, 12 - 15; and some may want regular prevention follow-up sessions at their own discretion.

    Following the first or second treatment, we typically have enough information to make a plan that works for you.

  • NOTHING is required of you. I work along side you and your circumstances. We go at the pace that works for you and I can work within your means.

  • This program allows for us to be extremely intentional and direct. By coming to me and stating that you want to “own all of you,” that you want to feel free, whole, and fully embodied (or any other goal or desire), allows us to get deep, fast.

    This is the difference of, for example, working out occasionally vs. getting a personal trainer to help you achieve results or accompany you as you learn new skills and habits.

    The beauty of this program is that it doesn’t cost extra (on top of acupuncture etc.) to participate. You just need to have a desire for change and transformation and to ask me to help you in the ways that I can.
