One good thing daily
Can change your physical body toward life forward movement.
If you struggle to manage tension or have stress related illness like high blood pressure or anxiety – somatic coaching can provide skills for managing your health and life.
Mia de Bethune Ph.D. is a somatic coach trained in Somatic Experiencing, Integral Somatic Psychology, Core Centering, and several lineages of Reiki. She firmly believes in the power of the body to heal and in providing sustainable skills that support people to achieve this goal.
Core Centering
Is a somatic practice that targets anxiety and stress through four basic principles:
- Self touch or massage
- Gentle body movement
- Breath awareness and practice
- Meditation
Meditation is not a natural skill for most and Core Centering can help prepare you and train your body’s reflective skills.
Mia is a Certified Core Centering practitioner.
She offers group and individual Core Centering coaching sessions to provide sustainable skills for body stress management.
Touch is our first language for understanding the world around us. Somatic touch supports sustainable growth in one’s body awareness and healing. Reiki energy healing, based on spirit guided life force energies, connects our body to the natural world.
Somatic touch and Reiki healing
Somatic touch and reiki energy healing naturally complement and support
training in Core Centering for stress management.
These might involve hands-on touch practice on a massage table, but could also be hands-off practice with intentional focus and self-guided touch. Essential to these somatic practices are breathing and meditation skills to help the body and mind drop into a deeper state of focus, awareness, and healing.
Even a few minutes of one or more of these practices can be the “one good thing daily”
in your life.
