Humans go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering. ~St. Augustine

Working from the bottom-up
‘Bottom-up’ relates to both the overall structure of the brain and nervous system as well as the order of development from the brain stem (survival responses), limbic system (emotional and relational), up to our pre-frontal cortex (thinking, executive functioning). Attending to regulation needs of the nervous system can develop a foundation for stability that enhances therapeutic progress.
Sometimes natural growth and healing are truncated, disorganized, or deterred due to a traumatic event or overwhelming experience. Non-verbal and kinesthetic therapy modalities tend to the whole imprint left by such events and provide reparative opportunities through new experiences in a supportive creatively attuned environment.
This approach supports integration and attends to developmental needs. The process is collaborative, led with warmth and curiosity, and centered around each client’s goals.
