Mindfulness/Body-Oriented Therapy

What Is Mindfulness/Body-Oriented Therapy?

Mindfulness/Body-Oriented Therapy is a holistic approach that focuses on the connection between your mind and body to foster healing and self-awareness. This therapy helps you understand how emotions, stress, and past experiences are stored in your body, often manifesting as tension, discomfort, or a sense of being “stuck.” By incorporating mindfulness practices and somatic techniques, this approach allows you to explore and process your experiences in a way that feels grounded, present, and safe.

  • Trauma Healing: Address trauma at its root, particularly where it is stored in the body, using techniques that promote safety and resolution.

  • Improved Connection with Self: Develop a deeper understanding of yourself and how your body and mind work together.

  • Greater Resilience: Build tools to navigate life’s challenges with clarity, calm, and confidence.
