Your Body as Beloved Partner

~ Creating a compassionate connection
 This class fosters your ability to sit in stillness, attend to your own body and its messages, and offer your clients a similar source of deep communion with their body.  You will explore ways to actively encourage clients to remain in their experience to bring numb and armored places into awareness; and to invite curiosity and experimentation into a session while mindful of scope of practice and boundary issues.

Ethics as Nourishing Communication

~ Developing a healing attention & guiding your client into presence.

This interactive class touches both sides of the same coin--fostering a healing attention with your client and guiding your client into presence.  The central theme of this class is learning to be with our clients in a shared presence.  The class offers a simple yet powerful model for communicating in a way that meets both parties' needs and fosters an authentic partnership with clients.  This class is for anyone who would like to communicate with more skill, clarity and empathy.
