“I am often caught up in worldly duties. I need to find a time and space to reflect on what is happening around me to gauge whether I am being constructive and positive in my interaction with this world, because I have a tendency towards cynicism, negativity, and sarcasm that prevents me from interacting more directly with the lived experience. I realized the exercises you offer can help me find this break and connect more with the greater state of being. It is like a break that takes your mind off the usual things and encourages reflection. Very valuable because it can help me gain perspective and find greater balance. It helped me stay motivated for a regular meditation/mindfulness practice that I am maintaining.” -Dr. Simon Hoiberg Olsen, Senior Researcher, Global Environmental Policy and Strategies, after attending an in-person workshop in Kiyosato, Japan

low dopamine states, Anxiety, and internalized shame lead to a disconnection between brain and body. we can affirm and vision board our way only so far—but unless we know how to feel safe in our bodies, we get stuck or default to fight/flight/freeze/FAWN. those of us who are socially conditioned to please others need extra help paying attention to our body’s signals when our routine collapses yet again.

imagine practicing guided touch and movement based exercises from aikido, chi gong, and yoga nidra that lead you to speak from the heart about what is most important and why.

The experience of feeling truly seen, heard, and celebrated by a relationship coach with 14 years of experience is healing.

PRACTICING WITH THE BODY, WE GRADUALLY release trauma, overcome our conditioned tendencies under pressure and MAKE MORE POWERFUL OFFERS, REQUESTS, INTIMATE DECLINES, QUITS, INSISTS, and commitments.
