Embrace Your Compassionate Nature
CULTIVATE HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS
Cultivating healthy relationships begins with understanding and nurturing our inner selves. Through Nonviolent Communication, Somatic Consensus, and Somatic Experiencing, I guide individuals towards empathetic understanding, honest expression, and effective conflict resolution. My goal is to empower individuals to build meaningful connections that foster harmony and enrich their lives.
Nonviolent Communication
Founded by Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD, NVC is a language process and spiritual practice that fosters empathetic understanding and conflict resolution through mindful awareness of feelings, needs, and shared humanity.
- Learn the NVC language of feelings and universal needs
- Cultivate empathetic listening skills
- Speak authentically in ways that inspire connection and understanding
- Transform habitual thinking patterns that lead to shame, guilt, depression and anger
- Accept responsibility for your thoughts, feelings and actions
- Learn to construct requests and avoid demands
- Live in a NVC consciousness of compassionate giving and receiving
Somatic
Consensus
Developed by David Weinstock, Somatic Consensus integrates NVC, Aikido, Somatics, and Community Consensus to enhance our capacity for compassionate relationships, emotional management, and decisive action.
- Live life centered around your values
- Sense and understand boundaries as choice points
- Stay self-regulated and resourced when confronted with judgment, blame and criticism
- Shape, refine and embody a meaningful commitment
- Become a more receptive listener
- Discover common ground in challenging times of conflict
- Compassionately heal and reconcile difficult relationships
Somatic Experiencing & Polyvagal Theory
These Approaches, Rooted In The Work Of Peter Levine, PhD, And Steven Porges, PhD, Emphasize The Role Of The Autonomic Nervous System In Healing Trauma And Finding Safety And Connection.
- Understand the science of safety and survival through neuroception
- Learn and map the autonomic hierarchy: ventral vagal, sympathetic, dorsal vagal
- Befriend and shape your autonomic nervous system
- Become aware of the social engagement system
- Develop flexibility to move through autonomic states
- Renegotiate traumatic experiences to lessen their impact
- Strengthen and build greater resiliency for future traumas
