I'm trained in a technique that incorporates elements of a technique called Focalizing. Focalizing was developed by Dr. Picucci who was inspired by Dr. Peter Levine and his pillars of Somatic Experiencing.
Somatic technique
Unlocking Your Body’s Wisdom​
Focalizing is a body-centered practice that helps people connect with their innate wisdom. This process goes beyond the limitations of talk therapy and allow sensations and signals to tell the story. Focalizing teaches individuals to view these as guides toward healing rather than obstacles. My goal is to help clients learn to process and release stuck emotions and cultivate and honor the whole body connection.
​​
“How does Focalizing work?”​
A Focalizing session is an intuitive and creative process that blends elements of guided meditation with somatic guidance to help connect to the body. This process allows the inner authority to develop and show the power of self-acceptance, self-trust, self-reliance and understanding our needs.
​​​​
"How can you help my process?"
I act as a guide to help you access a deeper part of yourself, while bypassing the need for a conscious understanding of challenges and wounds. We let the body do the work. The process allows us, together, to harness the body’s intelligence to help release what's stored in the body and move through life with a deeper understanding of what healing means as a unique individual.
Embodiment can help with...
Emotional balance
Focalizing promotes emotional balance by helping you release unconscious tension and reconnect with a sense of inner peace.
Mind-body Awareness
By addressing stored emotional energy and enhancing mind-body awareness, focalizing can help restore vitality and promote deep relaxation.
Somatic Processing
Focalizing offers a gentle, non-retraumatizing approach to healing by accessing inner intelligence and dissolving the emotional charge of past experiences. It allows us to release what gets stuck in the body.
Managing Emotions
Through intuitive awareness and somatic release, focalizing helps you regulate emotions, your nervous system and cultivate a state of calm resilience.
Discovering Personal Power
Focalizing helps you access your inner intelligence, gently dissolving barriers to authenticity and guiding you toward a deeper, more intuitive connection with your true self.
Mindfulness and Meditation
Focalizing deepens present-moment awareness, enhancing your ability to tune into your body’s wisdom and cultivate a grounded, mindful state.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been driven by a desire to grow, learn, and become a better human being. My life was shaped by complex family dynamics, the loss of my father at a young age, and challenges that demanded more resilience than I knew I possessed.
Those experiences taught me to recognize patterns, observe the world around me, and develop deep empathy for others. Rather than allowing my circumstances to define my future, I worked to create a different path, carrying forward a lasting commitment to self-awareness, compassion, and understanding what matters in our human experience.
I explored self-help, spent years in therapy, tried hypnotherapy and other unconventional approaches, and continued searching for something that could ease the heaviness I carried in my mind and body. I could explain the what, why, and how of my experiences, yet something remained missing. I kept finding myself in cycles of disregarding my boundaries and feeling scattered, disconnected, and not fully present in my own life.
Embodiment found me, really, more than I found it. Somewhere between a breath and a moment of noticing, I began learning to stay present rather than disconnect. I stopped treating my body as a vehicle for proving myself to others and started recognizing it as a source of wisdom.
The heaviness didn't disappear overnight, but my relationship with it changed. I discovered a deeper sense of presence and began to recognize that some of the limits I believed were written into my story were places where I had lost touch with myself.
That healing journey reshaped the legacy I want to leave behind. It inspired me to share what I’ve learned and help others cultivate a deeper connection with themselves. So here I am, bringing my experience and the wisdom I've gained into the work I do today.
​
I look forward to sharing the ways that have helped me find my wholeness.
