TRAUMA-INFORMED
​
Recognizing that people carry many different types of trauma. Providing an environment of safety, compassion, and empathy to create a peaceful place for deep healing.
WHOLE-PERSON CARE
​
Holistic methods approach the person "as a whole," recognizing the interconnectedness of all pieces. Not only do we explore the connection between our minds, bodies and moods, but also our place within the larger world.
Mental x Emotional x Physical x Spiritual
BRAIN PLASTICITY
​​
Good news: People really can change. The brain is always adapting and, with practice, we can reshape patterns of thought, feeling, behavior. Even long-held habits or reactions can soften, making space for more choice, ease, and connection in daily life.
EASTERN PHILOSOPHY
​
Can we allow things to be as they are and not cling to any specific outcome? Can we accept that everything is impermanent and is in a constant state of change?
POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY
​
A more alive and meaningful life is possible. Not just functioning, but really feeling—connected, inspired, curious. These practices help us move from going through the motions to living fully.
SOMATIC | BODY
​
Developing awareness of sensation in our body allows us to tap into the body's power and recognize it as our greatest resource. No longer alienated from our body, we now feel deeply safe and connected within it. Difficult emotions, like fear and pain, can flow through us and strengthen us - rather than paralyze us.
SPIRITUALITY | ENERGY
​
Spirit directs our attention to the cosmos and the planet; to huge ideas and vast adventures; to prayer, meditation and other spiritual practices; to a worldview and philosophy of life. Spirit expands our heart and mind, gives us vision and courage, and offers us a strong sense of meaning and purpose.
FLOW​
​​
Being in "flow" involves complete absorption in what we're doing, and brings a sense of serenity, timelessness, and a break from worrying about ourselves. Finding flow also comes as we relax into the natural downstream ease of a river's current, instead of kicking our hardest to swim upstream. We are allowing ourselves to be with life as it is, rather than what we think it "should" be.
