HEALING SESSIONS
A. Healing Portal offers somatic (body-based) healing and trauma resolution for the unique needs and experience related to abortion.
We support the nervous system to metabolize the often overwhelming emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual charge related to abortion.
We believe that with integrative and trauma-informed support around abortion care, a door to deeper self awareness and self acceptance can be opened.

Somatic Experiencing® Psychotherapy (S.E)
A relationship of integrity is central to my practice.
Sessions begin with increasing awareness of the body in the environment and the present through grounding and orienting. Each session is customized and unique. S.E. has many techniques that can be applied depending on what comes up.
I continuously guide the client to track their bodily sensations. Clients begin to become more aware of subtleties in their "felt -sense", opening up a greater range of possibility to how they can feel.
Sessions create "resource" in the body or access to more comfort states. In session we are always exploring a wave of nervous system activation and settling, supporting the client to find the groove that feels right for them and once they feel it, they are able to know when they're out of tune & how they can regulate themselves.

Tension & trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®)
Have you heard the notion: the body keeps the score?
It speaks to the reality that any time we encounter threat, the experience creates an energetic charge in our body - which often gets stored as tension and stress.
Overtime, as our bodies become full of the residue of past experience, we become stuck; unable to land in the present moment, to access states of goodness, to choose different responses to situations, and to get out of thought patterns that don't serve our wellbeing.
However, the body has a natural (and highly intelligent) mechanism for getting unstuck - for releasing accumulated tension and even diffusing the energetic charge of past fight/flight/freeze responses and their accompanying memories. It's called therapeutic tremoring - and you have the ability to activate this mechanism at will, as needed, and on your own.
