Focalizing
A somatic therapy to increase resource, expand capacity and create a greater sense of connection. Heal past trauma and/or move through current emotional blocks to ease daily life.
“Part way into my pregnancy, I felt extremely overwhelmed by hormones, or emotions, or perhaps just the enormity of the changes in my body, and where they would lead me, where they would lead us. I had never done somatic therapy before, but something in Holly’s description of what she does rang really true and really loud for me, and it felt like a good time.
I am so so so glad that I did go ahead. I can’t really find words to express what the experience of somatic work with Holly was like whilst pregnant - how do you talk about what’s truly in your body, but I know I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is taking the journey to become a parent, whatever that journey is going to be.
We’re awaiting the arrival of our little one right now, and not only am I drawing on some of the techniques and experiences in my build up towards labour, but I feel I already have a different relationship with my own body, and with our child, as a result of the time during sessions. ”
“Working with Holly has helped me to connect with my body, to feel deeply relaxed and has helped me to reduce the tension headaches which I was frequently experiencing. . It’s also been amazing to have some true time for myself and to really notice what my body is telling me and learn to sit with those feelings. I’ve been able to take some of the strategies from the sessions and use them in my daily life which has been so good! Thank you Holly :) ”
“I came to the session with something I had uncovered in talking therapy that I wanted to explore. I wasn’t sure what to expect but Holly made me feel completely at ease and encouraged me to be curious. During the session I was able to access and connect with what was coming up in a really simple way that felt safe where it had previously felt challenging. I came away with a new understanding, which for me feels really tangible and possible.”
“Focalizing has been a revelation. In serving almost like a focused meditation it allowed me to strip away my established frameworks for thinking about my issues and to look at them in a new way. This has provided avenues for action and further thought that hadn’t previously occurred to me and has promoted me to look at things in a different way. ”
If working together in this way speaks to you, drop me a line via the form below and we can arrange a Connection Call. It’s vital to me that the working relationship is a mutually consenting one and we are both completely comfortable before we proceed in this beautiful, gentle practice together.
