A note from Michaela
“Story goes where science cannot.” Dr Emily Nagoski I work well with clients with an extensive trauma history, or experiencing challenges feel stuck or disconnected from their body. If you’re very logical, self aware, analytical and finding it hard to drop into the body, I could be helpful to you. I use patience, compassion, movement and mindfulness activities. I use story, imagery, metaphor, and mediums like movies, TV and music to help you access your inner world. I am trauma informed in my approach to working with clients. Use the wisdom of your body to break through old patterns, habits, and beliefs.
