Applied Kinesiology
It is a method of gathering accurate biofeedback on the body’s physiological and psychological state by stimulating the muscular system. The body’s cells know their entire history and what they require to regain full health. Muscle Testing is an elegant way to retrieve the knowledge imbedded into the cellular memory of the muscular system.

Intuition
This is the part of us that exists beyond the mind. Living from our CORE builds our trust in ourselves and our journey as we experience a compassionate interconnection and learn to listen to our intuition and inner knowing.
You can grow your intuition and I’d love to show you how. This is also a part of how our sessions are led, allowing us to tap into deeper wisdom.

Self-Compassion
From self-critical to self-compassionate. What if regardless of how healed you were or weren’t or how far along you were in your life or career goals, you treated yourself like a loved child or a good friend? This approach is not yet common knowledge in our modern world, but it’s supported by both research and ancient spiritual practice.

Mindfulness
Bring self-awareness to your beliefs and behaviors and cultivate mindfulness of your thoughts, body, emotions and environment. This is the anchor of integrative coaching from which all other practices grow. In addition to coaching, I am trained to teach the well-studied Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course.
Somatic approaches of different kinds have been practiced for centuries. Fundamentally, yoga and meditation can be considered somatic therapies, and both are customized according to the needs of the individual in our sessions.
Energy Psychology, Somatic Approaches & Applied Kinesiology
Energy Psychology
Energy psychology (also known as cognitive somatic practices) is a family of mind-body methods that rapidly reduce stress and trauma while increasing calm. It has been shown to be evidenced based, cost effective and empowering for clients.
Energy psychology integrates well with other methods and includes self-help techniques.
Somatic Approaches
Somatic approaches emphasize helping people develop resources within themselves in order to self-regulate their emotions, or to move out of the fight/flight/freeze response and into a higher-functioning mode where they can think more clearly.
The goal is to help free the client from what is preventing them from fully engaging in their lives.
Applied Kinesiology
Applied kinesiology (muscle testing) allows us to identify the stresses and imbalances within our bodies. A majority of our physical, emotional, and mental processing occur outside of our awareness, making muscle testing an effective way to pinpoint key happenings at an unconscious level.
It also grows trust, confidence and intuition.
What is Energy Psychology?
Energy psychology or cognitive somatic practices are a family of mind-body methods that rapidly reduce stress and trauma while increasing calm.
Calming the body (where stress is stored) is a missing key to unlocking rapid change.
Energy psychology (EP) methods combine cognitive interventions with somatic techniques that influence the human bio-energy systems such as meridians, chakras and the biofield to elevate physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
These methods can be used to facilitate transformational change at many levels, including:
Resolving trauma, anxiety and other challenges
Working and living in flow
Improving performance in the arts, sports, school and business
Living with greater connection, love and clarity

What are Integrative Somatic Approaches?
Through developing awareness of the mind-body connection and using specific interventions, somatic approaches help to release strong emotions that remain in the body from past negative experiences.
Physical Awareness is a key part of somatic interventions. A practitioner might help the client get into a mindful state by asking them to notice certain things: If they are upset, what is it in their body that tells them they are upset? Is it a tightening in the stomach? Or a dark feeling in the chest? Then the practitioner asks the client to focus on those sensations.
Centering is a foundational practice in somatic approaches in which a person develops a calm home base in the body. It is achieved through building awareness of one’s muscles, breath, and mood. By slowing down one’s breathing, patients are able to “feel” more of what’s going on around and inside them.
Bodywork can also involve breathing patterns and guided meditation.
