What Our Customers Say...
"the work is profound. It has shifted things inside that nothing else has touched...The work gave me my first real openings to experiencing and understanding safety, in myself and in others. Feeling safety. Deeply feeling safe.
I learned how to really, really, really slow it down so I am not re-stimulating my trauma. I learned skills to slow myself down and track my own trauma responses/triggers so that I don’t dissociate (something I don’t think I even knew how how often I did) but stay present and let my nervous system settle and reintegrate...The training put me in more awe than I could have imagined regarding early imprinting and the power and lasting effects it can have on us.

"Our last class about brain states helped me in super practical ways! It helped this very week to NOT spiral into destructive relationship habits as my partner, Erik, is going through a job interview process that could, potentially, move our family across the country...
I went into a deep fear and terror and despair response -- BUT I could tell, for the first time in my life, WHAT was happening! So I didn't get mad or blame Erik for my feelings, or feel powerless, or do things that would damage our connection. That's the power of your work, and I am so grateful, because it's helping me create a real life instead of a series of traumas!"

Frequently Asked Questions
For both Content and Structure of Online Course. See below...
Q: Why do you work with early experiences when we are adults?
A: The body records events and protective responses that get into the primitive brain. These protective responses show up in adult life and create havoc until integrated and understood. It is the default behavior under stress, and is from infancy or childhood.
Q: What if I don't remember anything from my childhood?
A: Totally OK, because your bodymind remembers. The work is to access this consciously. That is some of the unique methods of this course.
Q: You talk a lot about being responsible for yourself. What if it really is the other person's bad behavior?
A: Working consciously with your own imprints gives you the ground to be able to set boundaries, know what is yours and not yours, and give grounded feedback. You then have choice about whether a relationship is sustainable. You can't know that when your own shock imprints are active.
Q: What do you mean about shock imprints and why does it matter?
A: Shock indicates a time when you were overwhelmed and out of control, maybe even "left your body," or left your ability to think clearly and take action. It indicates an internal freeze response and a kind of dissociation.
Q: Time zones and Course sessions...I live in UK. Are live course times flexible? Can I watch later?
A: I offer 12or1 PM MST time classes because people sign up from all over the world. Europeans are attending later at night while Australians and New Zealanders are coming on very early. Classes are recorded so you can always watch later. You have access to a membership site that holds many resources, including videos of previous classes, reflection exercises, meditations, and the course content videos.
Q: So I learn all these tools. How do they make a difference?
A: It's not just the understanding. It's the felt sense you will get once you start working with your own imprints. This is the experiential embodiment piece, and that's when lasting change can happen.
Q: If I do all this work myself, how do I know I am ready for relationship?
A: Unwrapping shock patterns allows natural life force to flow through. Healthy connection is a human need. You will start to feel differently once you have reframed your fear and protective patterned behaviors into something functional for your well being.
Q: What if I am triggered by this deeper work?
A: The good news is you are into the work. There are many body resources built into the course that bring relief to triggers. In addition, you can reach out. I can help you get your own therapist on board. I also can direct you to great support because I have people who know my work and can offer services.
Q: How long can I access this material for study?
A: You have a full year so you can revisit the material as much as you need to. It might take awhile to get inside your own patterns to find the relief. It is so worth the journey!
Q: I am studying counseling. Will there be handouts/ worksheets , study aids etc ?
A: You will get access to a membership site which has reflective questions, reading assignments, videos, and movement explorations.
