You are a healer

A healer is someone who had to enter the wounds of the world through their own heart and body; who has had to sit at the bottom of those wounds in the dark until they were able to strike a match—a tiny flame—in their own heart and light up the darkness around them to see the way out. A healer then willingly climbs back into those wounds of the world, gently holding the hand of another, and coaxes them to learn to ignite the small flame in their own hearts and see their way out too. 

Healing the Healer: A Somatic Process Group

Is this group right for me?

  • Are you caught in cycles of burnout, constantly giving to others while neglecting your own needs? Do you struggle with setting boundaries or feel unworthy of self-care, especially when your work is centered on caring for others? These are signs of living in the shadow of the "wounded healer"—and you’re not alone. This group is designed to support you in breaking those patterns and stepping into a more balanced, empowered version of yourself.

  • If you’re curious about—or already love—experiential, creativity-based, and embodied psychotherapy, this group is for you! Together, we’ll explore the "wounded healer" archetype through powerful methods like Dance/Movement Therapy, psychodrama, creative writing, nature-based spirituality, and astrology.

  • Ready to dive deeper into healing the wounds of your childhood, especially those around nurturance and unmet needs? Join us on this journey of self-discovery and transformation.

The content and creative process in this group will largely fall into the following categories:

  • Letting go of people pleasing

    and over-indulgent boundaries through lovingly holding--and deeply seeing--the wounds that create these patterns.

  • Protecting your wounded inner child

    who is searching for love and acceptance and may be showing up unconsciously in your professional work.

  • Understanding the sacred gift of your healer wound

    through working with the wounded healer archetype and exploring the Chiron (wounded healer) placement in your astrological birth chart.

  • Learning to receive nurturance and support

    Often, the child who grows up to be a healer, was asked to use their gifts of healing, nurturing, and sensitivity too soon. They are stuck in a pattern of knowing only how to give but don't feel safe receiving. In this group, you will practice receiving support in ways that feel safe to your body.

What Can i expect to gain?

    3. Embracing Your Healer's Journey: Transforming your healing wounds into a source of sacred strength and wisdom.
