Emotional Release Bodywork

ERT is a hands-on, multi-dimensional bodywork process that opens up the emotionally & energetically held blocks in the body. This modality is designed to explore your inner system, it is a type of somatic playground. An exploration that brings more awareness to the parts running the show, uncovers traumas that may need to be digested, and curiosity towards somatic parts or sensations. By opening energetic doorways and breathing deeply we enter into a trance where more of the subconscious material can be accessed.

I use the Amanae technique in combination with various other modalities like Internal family systems, Core energetics, deep tissue and breathwork. Healing touch can often reach the places that so often evade us within traditional talk therapy. By getting out of the mind, we are tapping into the much deeper aspect of ourselves, the limbic system, that goes beyond verbal comprehension. This deeply embodied practice brings us home to our own bodies.

As we step deeper into embodiment, we can have deeper access to our Self energy. Self energy is the calm, clear, compassionate presence at the core of each of us. It is naturally curious, connected and confident. In my bodywork sessions the goal isn’t just physical release; it’s to support you in returning to this grounded inner state. As tension unravels and protective layers soften, your natural Self energy can emerge more fully, guiding your healing, deepening your clarity and restoring a sense of wholeness from the inside out.

We begin and end each session with IFS which gives us a chance to do even more therapeutic work. Checking for protective, hopeful or anxious parts and hearing their concerns prior to proceeding. My goal is to work in tandem with your delicate inner system to provide the deepest integration possible.
