Internal Family Systems
-
Culturally-rooted, evidence-based mindfulness practices can help to create more harmony, ease, and communication in our relationships and environments.
-
We look at relationships, parts of self, and values as means to meeting our needs and the demands of daily life. Breathwork, pendulation/titration, and tapping into neurological reward systems are some of the ways we can approach difficulty with sustained progress.
-
Using trauma-informed practices, we explore the cause and effect of our decisions and actions. Bringing awareness to our internal framework offers a lifelong compass to check which behaviours, networks, practices, habits, relationships are congruent by discerning between internal triggers and external patterns to better access to peace of mind.
