Welcome to your journey to reconnection.

A liberation-centered space cultivated for you to reconnect, reset, and radically heal your mind-body and Spirit.

Through somatic, ancestral, spiritual, and community-centered practices, we cultivate space for sustainable and transformative healing across the domains of mind, body, spirit, and collective belonging. We honor both the science of brain healing and the wisdom of lived and ancestral experience, inviting you to reclaim your voice and story as you walk your path of liberation and renewal.

Our Integrative Approach

Our approach is an integrative practice of somatic and mindfulness embodiment, informed by both neuroscience and ancestral wisdom. Rather than adhering to a single discipline, we weave together modalities that support the brain and body’s innate capacity for neuroplasticity—its ability to rewire, heal, and create new pathways of resilience.

Grounded in liberation-centered and decolonized mental health care, our work is non-pathologizing, anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and social justice-oriented. Neuroscientific research affirms that practices such as mindfulness, bilateral stimulation, psychosensory touch, and body-based awareness can quiet survival circuits, regulate the amygdala, strengthen integrative brain networks, and foster new patterns of safety, resilience, and connection. We draw from the teachings of Zen Master and Peace Activist Thich Nhat Hanh, Resmaa Menakem’s Somatic Abolitionism, The Embody Lab’s Somatic and Attachment Therapy, Somatic and Attachment-Focused EMDR Therapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychology, and Havening Techniques

We acknowledge the ways systemic racism and oppression shape the nervous system, contribute to chronic stress and trauma responses, and impact brain and body health across generations. Our work supports folks in moving through stuckness and ambivalence, interrupting toxic internalized beliefs, and cultivating new neural patterns that restore voice, agency, and secure selfhood.

  • Research has shown that traumatic memories are stored in the brainstem as raw pieces of sensory data. When these unprocessed memories are activated in the present, the result is emotional and physical disturbance.

    EMDR therapy is a comprehensive approach to healing, addressing the entire person by considering individual, relational, and behavioral aspects. It aims to enhance the client's ability to adapt to life challenges stemming from developmental trauma, while fostering resilience and personal growth.

    This approach addresses symptoms such as low self-esteem, attachment issues, developmental deficits, and other personal characteristics, which are collaboratively set as treatment goals across various diagnostic categories. It is a collaborative, evidence-based practice grounded in the Adaptive Information Processing model that includes the eight phases and the three-pronged approach of past, present, and future.

    The Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model guides traditional EMDR therapy in addressing memories that were overwhelming when they happened and, as a result, were not adequately processed.

    The unique Somatic and Attachment Focused (S.A.F.E.) EMDR therapeutic approach from Personal Transformation Institute is a trauma-informed model that considers how trauma affects an individual’s ability to regulate the nervous system and to connect with others (emdr-training.net).

Somatic and relational healing

Somatic healing addresses emotional and physical distress by recognizing the mind-body-spirit connection. It acknowledges that trauma and negative experiences are stored in the body if not appropriately acknowledged and addressed. Through techniques like mindful awareness, movement, and meditation, somatic healing aims to release stored tension and trauma, promoting self-awareness and resilience. This integrative process empowers individuals to engage with their bodies alongside their minds to alleviate stress, enhance emotional well-being, and foster a sense of balance and inner harmony.

Relational healing emphasizes the importance of relationships with others, self, land, spirit, your ancestors in the healing process. It posits that healing occurs not only within the individual but stresses it is also within the context of relations. Through fostering healthy, supportive relationships, you can experience a sense of connection, safety, and belonging incorporating techniques in relational healing may include healing that focuses on interpersonal dynamics, communication, and building healthier, adaptive coregulation activities.

Together, somatic and relational healing provide a comprehensive framework that integrates the body, mind, and relationships to address and heal emotional and physical distress. This dual approach recognizes that true healing involves both internal and external factors, promoting a holistic sense of well-being and interconnectedness.
