 Bioenergetics is a type of therapy that uses breathing exercises, meditation, frequency/vibration, emotional releases, and physical postures to address physical & mental distress. It was developed in the 1950s, however frequency therapies and energy workers have been around since the beginning! Grounding, Breathing, and Vibration are the three basic Bioenergetic principles. A person who doesn’t breathe deeply reduces the life of the body. If one doesn’t move freely, the life of the body is restricted. If one doesn’t feel fully, it narrows the life of one’s body. And if self-expression is constricted, the life of the body is limited. A person does not “have” a body, a person is a body.  Practitioners of bioenergetics understand that repressed  emotions can cause mental and physical illness and operate on a belief that they can assist the body in initiating its own innate healing ability by unblocking repressed emotions and releasing heavy low vibrational energies.  Bioenergetics can be used in isolation or as an adjunctive service to any other treatments you are receiving. 

I am certified in Plant Based Nutrition through the VegHealth Institute, however, I am not a nutritionist. So what does this mean? This means that while I do not create individualized nutrition plans, I do focus on the micronutrient rich, fiber fueled, high energy living foods that have been shown to nourish our microbiome and help reverse chronic conditions. The desire for this information often finds its way into sessions one way or another, but does not have to be a focus if you are not interested.

There has been an overwhelming increase in the number of children who are experiencing significant symptoms of emotional distress and chronic health issues. This simply cannot be ignored. I have seen this with my own children and is part of what led me to research and discover these strategies. Children have been incredibly receptive to the modalities that I use in my practice and I thoroughly enjoy working with them! Of course, I only will work with children whose parent or guardian has given permission.  If your child is of legal age, then they must give their own permission as well.
