Querencia

(n.)
a place where one feels safe and secure
a place from which one’s strength of character is drawn
a place in which we know exactly who we are
a place from which we speak our deepest beliefs
a place in the ring where the wounded bull goes to renew their strength and center themselves, ready for a fresh charge
a place where you are your most authentic self
a place where you feel at home

What is Somatic Movement therapy & Expressive Arts Therapy?

~ Somatic movement therapy is a body centered practice, focusing on deepening the connection to your body and how the environment, thoughts, and emotions impact us. It allows you to process and release stored emotions or pain, which can be very helpful in trauma recovery.

~ Expressive arts therapy is a type of psychotherapy that uses creative process to help people process their experiences and emotions.

Co-Founder
I am a Registered Somatic movement therapist, Reiki practitioner, Shake your Soul facilitator and dancer and artist. I completed my Somatic movement therapy and Shake your Soul Facilitator training at the Leven Institute of Expressive Arts. I'm registered through ISMETA; International Somatic Movement and Education Therapy association. I've been teaching and facilitating expressive arts classes and workshops for adults and children for eight years in schools, in a private practice, and various other settings. I've been practicing the art of embodied listening over the years through numerous modalities. Some of these practices/modalities include, Authentic movement, Journey dance, 5 rhythms, Yoga, and of course somatic movement therapy.
My craft of play, art, and embodied listening are informed by my journey with chronic pain/illness and being neurodivergent. These practices have been instrumental to nourishing my vitality of spirit and finding peace with my path of evolvement. Healing is not a straightforward path nor is it a destination. I believe in the magic of play and rest and the way it helps people connect to and embrace the power of being in process (aka living!).

What We Offer:

We offer individual and couple sessions. We use somatic and expressive art modalities to create a container for healing.
We are both trained Reiki practitioners, and also over the years learned energy healing techniques, and use our intuition and skills of attuning to the body to know what's needed to re-balance the mind/heart/body/spirit.
We offer guided somatic and expressive art videos and audio files of guided meditations are available in our online store, there are free resources as well.
We facilitate and host a variety of differently themed workshops, both virtually and in person in various locations!

Upcoming events

Embodied Connection: Deepening Intimacy in your Relationships

Sunday Jan. 5th, 2-4pm
In person in Providence, RI
We will use somatic and expressive art practices and activities, such as movement/dance, art making, dialogue with and without intelligible words, and guided meditation. The intention of this workshop is to offer a space and the tools for you to authentically connect to yourself and your loved one(s). It is a practice of presence and co-existence ~ you do not have to abandon yourself while being in connection with another, nor isolate in order to connect with yourself. The container invites more freedom, play, expansion and healing.
