Our holistic approach is highly integrative, meaning it supports and attends to mind, body and spirit for whole-body healing. Many sessions include a blend of the following:​

​

• Breathwork & Body Scanning: We start by focusing on the breath to reset the nervous system. Deep breathing slows the overactive, fight-flight mind and serves as a primer for healing energy to flow. Body scanning allows you to release tention in you body so you can relax fully into the work.

​​

• Guided Meditation: As you are led through a visualization in nature, you release what's causing you unrest, and enter into a deeply relaxed state of mind. We can then focus on your therapeutic goals. ​

​​

• Reiki and Somatic Movement: These techniques are utilized to release energy blockages, create flow, and promote self-healing and overall wellbeing. Reiki involves gentle touch or hovering hands over a clothed body. Somatic movement involves a practitioner noticing where in your body you are holding tention and suggesting movements that will promote its release.

​​​

• Hypnotherapy: This is integrated when outdated or unhelpful core beliefs are uncovered. This therapeutic technique can reframe limiting beliefs and allow for new, healthier beliefs and behaviors in their place. This can lead to personal transformation.

MORE ON... ENERGY HEALING & REIKI

Energy work is based on that premise that energy flows through all living things, and illness happens when there is a restriction in the flow of that energy. This can be caused by either physical or emotional stressors. There is a growing body of scientific research  on the body's energetic qualities, highlighting the positive benefits of biofield therapies such as reiki. Reiki is now used as a complementary therapy in over 800 hospitals in the US.

 

Reiki is a Japanese technique utilizing awareness of the body's emotional energy centers combined with the practitioner's keen observational skills and intuitive abilities. A reiki practitioner taps into energy fields and guides or directs it as needed. 

 

Healing Roots practitioners use what can best be described as prayer. They pray into the pain to shift the energy, removing blockages and promoting flow. In many cases, it allows for freedom and release of past trauma or stuck emotions. Freely flowing energy leads to deep healing - of the body, the mind, and the spirit.

MORE ON... HYPNOTHERAPY, BRAIN-TRAINING, & MEDITATION

​

Hypnosis is a concentrated, relaxed state of mind. It is a form of meditation. Hypnotherapy utilizes this natural state of mind for therapeutic goals, to promote healing and wellbeing. It has been publicly accepted and utilized therapeutically for more than 200 years. 

 

Watch this brief, brain-based video to learn the science behind hypnotherapy, and how it works:

​

​

​​​Hypnotherapy is distinct from talk therapy - it's highly experiential and taps into your creativity. It integrates insights from neuroscience, opening up a door between the brain's logical and emotional parts to retrain your brain. This can lead to change that may be more rapid and enduring than traditional therapy.

THE THERAPEUTIC PROCESS: LENGTH & STEPS

​

Clients often ask how long they might be in treatment. It will depend on your issues and circumstances, however, clients typically meet with a practitioner 4-10 times over several months. It is common to have a series of weekly or biweekly sessions up-front, take time away in seasons of good health, and then return when life stressors or illness compounds again.

 

• STEP 1: Consultation - deciphering your goals and concerns, determining what therapies are the right fit for your challenges.

​​

• STEP 2: Initial Session - refining goals, beginning the work 

​​

• STEP 3: Reinforcement Sessions - 3-5 follow up sessions to reinforce and deepen healing

 

• STEP 4: Follow Up - a 15-20 phone or Zoom call to assess how the change work is progressing, and if any additional support is needed​
