What Informs the Work…
Astrological Theory
Using the ancient art of astrology to analyze your unique natal chart. The natal chart is a personal road map, comprised of the position of the planets based on the time and location you were born.
Somatic Healing
Somatic healing aims to enhance the mind-body connection. It is what is referred to as a “bottom-up” approach. This means that we first work with the body and its physical feelings as a means to access messages within our bodies.
Positive Psychology
Positive psychology is the scientific study of happiness. It is what is referred to as a “top-down” approach. This means that we first work with the mind to examine our thoughts, feelings and behaviors to create change and expand our joy.
Astrological Theory
Everything in nature is done with intention. As such, our lives are purposeful. A birth chart, also referred to as a natal chart is a snapshot of the composition of the planets at the moment you were born. This creates an astrological template that is unique to every individual, as determined by the date, time and location of your birth. This astrological template tells a story of your individual characteristics and preferences. It provides valuable insight into themes and patterns of our life, unveiling which parts may naturally be easy and which parts may present challenges to be worked through.
Through the analysis of the natal chart, we can gain a greater sense of self-understanding through identifying patterns of thoughts, feelings or behaviors. The exploration of your personal astrological make-up can promote a deeper understanding of your inner experiences. Through this process, we are better positioned to apply individual choice with a sense of timing, and to create a space of optimal change on our path of evolution.
As our earth rotates, so do the celestial bodies in the sky. As the planets move through their natural cycles they may come into aspect, or contact, with parts of our natal chart that can impart valuable opportunities for self-reflection and change. Through the application of astrological theory, we can examine current and future planetary positions that can support our growth and change process. As such, we can unlock the ability to cultivate deeply personal and unique transformations in alignment with the cyclical movement of the sky.
Somatic Healing
Somatic healing is an experiential modality aimed at strengthening our mind-body connection. Through the application of somatic healing, we will examine physical sensations in our body and connect with them as a means to cultivating body wisdom. This uniquely personal wisdom is then integrated in a way that develops a deeper connection with our innate inner knowing.
Difficult life experiences or trauma can result in physical pain, feelings of overwhelm and the development of maladaptive coping mechanisms. This can contribute to unhelpful patterns in the way we think, behave, and interact with others that negatively impacts our sense of wholeness and self-understanding.
By identifying and connecting with the body’s physical feelings, we can begin to process the greater wisdom contained within us. With this awareness, we are better able to understand and identify our emotions, enhancing our ability to tune into our inner truth and live in greater alignment with ourselves.
Positive Psychology
As a way to alchemize the knowledge we gain from our body wisdom through somatic healing, positive psychology focuses on the examination of our thought patterns as a means to cultivate healthy behaviors that ultimately lead to a happier life.
The application of positive psychology creates space to explore our individual personal experiences, unique traits, skills, and strengths and assess them in relation to the world at large, which ultimately creates our reality. In looking at our reality, we can identify where we may be blocked, or out of alignment with our true self and cultivate a sense of optimism in our lives.
