In the mid-00s, as I began to notice long-learned adaptive strategies of responding (previously referred to as maladaptive behaviours) impacting my parenting, I chose to begin my own therapeutic journey.  I was blessed to find a mindful, present, well-attuned therapist who offered, alongside his primary mode of therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy for trauma. 

Following this introduction, came my reading of the book: Trauma and the Body, by Pat Ogden, Kekuni Minton, and Claire Pain, which helped me determine to train in this powerful approach. 

​

Over the last 9 years, engagement with the experiential learning of the SP program, regular practice with my skills cohort and continued consultation with trainers and consultants, and the application of assisting, has provided a personal and professional life and practice changing experience.

​

Currently, I am developing competency as an SP Consultant Program Intern, under supervision from Rochelle Sharpe Lohrasbe, PhD, RCC.  As an intern, my aim is to continue to grow by helping grow Consultees who have also found an interest and passion in this helpful approach.
