That makes her outstanding in the field.

Visiting Steven is like going to that safe place that you have tucked away in your heart from your…read morechildhood. I feel trusted and trusting in his space and can allow my deepest, truest voice to be heard in his presence. There's no judgement from him, only kindness that strives to stroll through some painful past experiences. Steven is a most trusting, helpful, and skilled healer (and an excellent writer too!) He is persistent yet mindful of boundaries. He will nudge you over that small roadblock of your mind and help you to realize how easy (or difficult) it was to overcome. Then you will learn how glad you are to have gone through it. The world seems like a different place after a session with Steven. There should be a sign in Steven's office - Disclaimer: Clarity and mindfulness may follow. Self-understanding, rejuvenation, growth, tranquility, confidence, and mental relief all come to mind. Steven will put years of experience, research, reading, writing, singing, and learning into the path of your winding river. Aptly named: Flow Healing Arts.

I also thought it could be some kind of emotional issue as well, I was desperate and tired of being hunched over like an old lady. What I got was so much more. Not only did my back pain go away, but I got major transformation to boot. My relationships have improved. I started dating (after being single for 2 years), and I'm feeling more present and "in-my-body" than I ever have before in my life. I think every person who wants real transformation should go see this guy. He's not only a genius at what he does, but he really walks the talk. He IS a really grounded, present, and open hearted guy. You just feel calm in his presence. It's a rare find to find a healer who seems to have some of their own stuff worked out, it gives you a lot of faith in what they're doing with you! Anyway, he's awesome. GO. Just...go.

Amy is an incredible healer and space holder.

Her "somatic experiencing" works seems simple: light touch and deep nurturing connection, but it goes extremely deep. In the first few sessions, I mostly rested in connection and safety. Thereafter, though, arose some really intense healing and emotional/traumatic release -- once my body felt safe with her, I guess. I was amazed in her capacity to work with and hold the range of experiences moving through my being. I really feel a strong maternal presence holding me, meeting deep attachment needs I didn't know that I had. Critically, I feel very safe with Amy, and really trust her to handle what arises. I have done talk therapy for years. And consider myself quite in touch with my body (yoga teacher certified, etc.). Yet Amy's healing presence is doing deep work in a uniquely potent, efficient, and in-the-moment manner. Thank you!

We met with a few therapists and nobody could quite figure out how to help us... Until we met Laura! A good friend of mine recommended her, and she offered us profound insights and teachings that helped us to grow individually and as a couple. Her approach is unique, drawing from a variety of practices including eastern medicine, somatic healing, and talk therapy which she put together in a way that I have since described as outlandish and surprisingly effective. After nearly two years of working with Laura, my husband and I are more connected than we ever expected to feel, we laugh together a lot more, we've done away with patterns that Laura quickly called us out on that were dysfunctional. From a bigger life perspective I've also let go and softened. Laura could tell where we could grow, sometimes in unconventional ways, and our lives are better for it. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to heal or looking for new ways to grow.
