Line uses various tools, including Somatic Experiencing®, Transformative Touch®, co-regulation through touch, movement, yoga and breath work, to help her clients explore the ways they hold their emotional experiences in their body. The goal is to engage, complete and resolve – in a slow and supported way – the body’s instinctual responses in order to move towards better nervous system regulation and access more vitality. 

 

Her approach

Line helps her clients explore the body’s memory of a difficult event. Trauma is not so much about the event, but rather the physiological imprint the experience leaves in the body. The aim is to complete any thwarted survival mechanism, to free energy stuck in the body and thus allowing a reorganization of the nervous system and restoration of the capacity to self-regulate and the ability to more actively engage in life.

There is a wide range of traumas, including natural disasters, exposure to violence, accidents and falls, serious illness, sudden loss of a loved one, surgeries and medical or dental procedures, childhood neglect or abuse and difficult pregnancy and birth. Experiencing these events without adequate support can be extremely challenging and impact the sense of safety of a person, leaving them to feel vulnerable and helpless which often leads to a loss of connection to themselves and their environment. Line’s work aims to re-establish that sense of connection and to support and guide her clients through their journey towards wellness.

 

Line is bilingual and can offer sessions in French and English.
