Creative Counseling Groups
A body based feelings laboratory
Do you ache for more out of life?
Do you want a place to face life’s fear with others?
Are you ready for powerful skills to improve your relationships?
Relationships and life aren’t going the way you had hoped or planned, leaving you feeling, overwhelmed, unsatisfied and straight up tired. Even when you’re around people you don’t feel connected.
You want to live life fully, create deep connections and yet something keeps blocking your way to that spark you desire.
You’ve tried focusing on your work, different forms of therapy or movement practices, reading self help books, learning about attachment theory, connecting with friends and using positive intention to keep going. You’ve worked on your family patterns, your trauma, it all helps, but there is still something missing.

My Approach
Each person is born into a family system and social system. Each system holds values, norms and things that are taught to be good or bad. These values and beliefs shape the frame we experience the world through. I call this the frame and worldview. Each person has a unique set of world views.
When people think different ways are the right way. When the complexity of life experience, race, class, culture, family, and so much more clashes in relationships, we don’t usually get a chance to find out what is really going on. I work with this place. I support you to unravel your beliefs, learn where they come from, how they affect you, your body and your relationships with the people around you. This unraveling allows you to find out more and discover whether you want to choose to act from these values and beliefs, or whether it’s time to let them go and find a different way.
Body and movement based group feelings laboratory
Groups give you real life interactions to deepen your capacity for truth in the face of conflict. They are an opportunity to practice healthy risks in connection and learn lessons that will support you to stay connected to yourself through challenges that come your way.
This group supports you to:
Find what sparks your aliveness
Develop capacity to navigate sticky interactions with more ease
Embrace your true purpose
Tend to your heart: be kinder to yourself and the world
Build bridges of connection across complexity of cultures, religion, systems, race, social economics and beyond
Engage your relationships, communities and the world from your truth & power.
This is for people seeking healing, non-hierarchical learning and an emotional process space
It works by following these guiding principles
cultivating a non-shaming heart and attitude
knowing i don’t know
being willing to be changed
welcoming multiple perspectives
saying yes to everything (including your no)
do your part

“Radical Aliveness is supporting human beings to know and accept themselves fully so that they can navigate the here and now from choice rather than history and bring their gifts to life.
It is a way of working with human beings, groups, and organizations that is based on a foundation of principles.
working with all levels of the human experience – the body, emotions, expression, movement, sensations, thoughts, beliefs, spirit, culture, and systems.”
-Ann Bradney, founder of the Radical Aliveness Institute
