Personal Sessions
An Embodied Approach
A space for self-care through dialogue, helping you reconnect with yourself. By tuning into your bodily sensations and allowing them to guide the process, we engage in mindful conversation.
Sessions are available in Japanese or English.
What we do
This session is for those who are experiencing difficulties or stress and would like to explore possible ways forward through dialogue.
As we talk, we draw on the awareness cultivated through mindfulness to connect with bodily sensations and notice their different qualities, such as warmth, coolness, tension, softness, or a sense of instability. These sensations may also be expressed through words such as “stiff,” “racing,” “restless,” or “uneasy.”
With curiosity and a sense of playfulness, we explore these sensations through gentle touch, movement, breathing, or imagining something comforting. Together, we look for ways to help the body feel more at ease and soothed.
As the body settles, we may find more mental space and a broader perspective. From this space, we can approach our emotions and thoughts with curiosity, using them as clues to deepen self-understanding. I offer support in cultivating the kindness and resilience needed along the way.
Sessions are centred on dialogue, with opportunities to move the body and bring awareness to bodily sensations. Short meditation practices may also be included.
Approaches and frameworks may include:
-
Simple mindfulness practices
-
Gentle yoga
-
Compassionate Inquiry (CI)
-
Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB)
-
Trauma-informed approaches
