​Hakomi is a holistic, somatic therapeutic approach where body, mind, emotions are all acknowledged. It can help you

• recognize and mobilize your strengths and resources.  Some of which you might not even be aware of.

• respond to challenges and difficult situations with more options.  ​

• soften and shift painful memories and experiences so you can feel more positively connected to life and other people.

​

The word 'Hakomi' comes from the Hopi Native American tribe. In the Hopi language it means 'Where do I stand in relation to the many realms?' In other words, it's being curious about, and exploring how you relate to yourself, to others and the wider world. 

​

I pay close attention to your physicality - your non-verbal communication - as well as what you are saying and feeling. Using mindfulness, you will be gently guided to notice what is happening, moment by moment,  physically, emotionally and mentally.

​

From this place of awareness, I help you to uncover unconscious core beliefs and adaptations in a spirit of compassion and non-judgement. By making them conscious there's a possibility of choosing to relate and experience life in new, and more fulfilling, ways. ​​​

It's a bit like discovering you've been carrying round something in a bag which you didn't know had got buried at the bottom. It's been weighing you down but you didn't even know it was hidden in there.
