Assisting in Week 11 of Hakomi Training Cohort 6 Japan.
Supporting the anchoring of transformational experiences in the body.
And helping participants integrate those experiences into everyday life.
The work is not only about change. It's about helping change last.

Recently took a law & ethics course for my LMFT renewal, and was reminded again: do no harm, practice within competence, never exploit, honor dignity, protect confidentiality, seek informed consent, and act within social equity & justice.

I assisted in Week 10 of the 6th Hakomi Comprehensive Training in Japan.
We explored how familiar patterns appear unconsciously in relationships, and what lies beneath them—what a client is truly seeking.
That awareness gently supports the process forward.
#Hakomi#Somatic
We all have familiar ways of reacting, and they quietly show up in our relationships.
When we notice this flow — the system — gentler and more spacious options begin to open.
A Hakomi way of seeing.

Twice‑Exceptional (2E) people are gifted and neurodivergent.
High abilities and real challenges coexist.
Their strengths can hide their struggles—and struggles can hide strengths.
They need support that honors both.
#2E#Neurodiversity
I assisted in the 6th Hakomi Training this August, supporting quiet moments of transformation—when an inner part understands, history softens, and the nervous system shifts into a new way of being.
Subtle changes, yet deeply meaningful.

In-person Hakomi practice with Michelle (baked the best muffin!)and John. Grateful we could share this warm space together.
Michelle (彼女の焼いたマフィンは最高!)と John と、ハコミ手法の対面練習。 この時間を共有できて、ありがとう。

When a child grows up in danger or neglect,
they create a survival strategy to protect their core.
It was wise and necessary back then.
But as adults, those old strategies can still run quietly in the background,
shaping how we live without us noticing.

I assisted in Week 8 of the 6th Hakomi Comprehensive Training on “Nourishment Barriers" in Japan.
Witnessing how long‑held barriers for safety gently come into awareness and begin to transform was deeply moving, and I learned a great deal through supporting the process.
