- In The Feldenkrais Method, we move with curiosity, learning
to sense ourselves and choose more nuanced, attuned
responses.
- In Gendlin’s Focusing, we tune into the “felt sense,” a form of
awareness that reveals more of what we truly feel.
- With Interpersonal Neurobiology, we learn that relationships
shape our inner landscapes, supporting the growth of more
integrated, resilient ways of being
- With Internal Family Systems (IFS), we cultivate more
understanding of our internal parts, allowing all aspects of
ourselves to find voice and value.
Client Perspectives:
“My somatic sessions with ara have been a profoundly rich and powerful experience. I've worked with many somatic coaches and therapists and the explorations ara facilitates are the ones I hold most dearly. The magic of it is hard to explain but each session left me feeling closer to myself and deeply connected to the world.”
“I love how gracefully ara invites movement, imagery, memories, and desires to come out. In our first session, I recall ara telling me that whatever arises is significant, that it is all material to explore. It took pressure off and opened up a curiosity in me that I continue to hold today. these sessions are so collaborative and special, unlike anything else in the world! it's a true gift and honor to work with ara”
“I really appreciate ara's smooth methodical pace. Their guidance is very clear and deliberate. I see our sessions as an opportunity for me to drop in and slow down, become centered, opening to insights that emerge from within.”
“Ara asks unexpected questions, the session felt like a quiet path through a carnival, I had a distinct feeling that I was going deeper but not through any familiar to me channel, it was refreshing, it felt like someone tapping me on the shoulder so i would turn and gather my bearings and then feel another tap on my shoulder and turn again slightly disoriented but quite comfortable until finally landing somewhere beautiful. Ara's work is akin to gravity, a consistent mysterious force that will guide you down to your depths if you allow it.”
“There's something so satisfying about the entire experience.
I felt that space was held for every bit of me. Tthe space and permission to honor whatever was there was so so powerful.”
