"Connecting Motion With Emotion"

Education:
Rachel received her Masters Degree in Social Work from Bryn Mawr College, in Bryn Mawr, PA, and completed her Pennsylvania licensure, with over 3200 hours of supervised psychotherapy.

Rachel has completed post graduate training at the Tamalpa Institute of Expressive Art Therapy, and trained with the Somatic Psychotherapy program at the Santa Barbara Graduate Institute.

Goals of Counseling and Coaching:
By allowing sensations to move, breathe, and be recognized, clients access emotions, revive stale energy, and live much more fully, with more creativity and passion.

Philosophy:
"Our body has consciousness and speaks to us in each moment. By learning the language of the body's consciousness, we can shift our mythologies, and discover what holds us back from living fully."

"Together, we create a living road map that leads you to much greater fulfillment and joy."

What is Body-Centered Counseling?
Rachel melds Mind-Body Centering with Authentic Movement, guided imagery and creativity coaching. Each session is custom-created for you in order to meet your essential needs in the moment.

What a Session is Like:
You begin each session seated comfortably. We take a moment to breathe, center and ground. I invite you to bring all of yourself into the session, with the goal of turning around whatever you are hoping to change. After talking, you will experience a very powerful and relaxing guided imagery. We may shift into movement, if the time is right.

My clients experience my sessions as nurturing, supportive and empowering. They experience e effects after only a few sessions.

"You will clarify your vision, develop a step-by-step action plan and follow through with your commitments to yourself with the utmost of support."

What can I expect during a session and after?
"You can expect to be supported, always, foremost.
I offer a fresh, objective perspective and non-judgmental feedback.
I use a variety of expressive techniques designed to help you tap into your own innate wisdom. Sometimes you will draw, sometimes write, sometime move, sometimes talk. There will always be empathic support and life coaching."

Mission:
"I believe that we have the power to shape our lives, work and ultimately our community and the world, by learning to create consciously and intentionally.
We all deserve the joys of being alive in the body, fully and unconditionally.
Movement is our medicine, it is our sacred past, the ritual that we have forgotten, the prayer we forget to pray as we move without pause and stillness.
It is my work to gift those I meet with this vital life source, this medicine, this dance."
