If you are a couple or individual ready to grow and want to work in practical and experiential ways, Lyn maybe that therapist. She believes the first task of therapy is to create a relationship where clients experience enough safety, care, and respect to be willing to risk new ways of relating to themselves and others. The Hakomi principles create the ideal context for this by bringing a kind mindful curiosity to what is present; this, in turn, creates the space that allows clients to explore what is challenging and complex. She believes that once we listen to our deeper longings, know the ways our emotional history is playing out, and fully accept where we are, the journey toward healing and wholeness can begin. She is a former massage therapist, trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Level 1 and in the certification process for DARe.
