Using a unique combination of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, Feldenkrais Method, Mindfulness, and Expressive practices, this course will empower you to:
- Discover and befriend protective parts of yourself
- Practice compassionate, mindful self-reflection
- Generate "felt" safety through somatic awareness
- Reclaim the innate healing power of your inner healing Self
This class is for you if... |
• You have already determined that your symptoms are a mindbody condition (TMS).
• You are looking for support and self-reflective tools to advance your recovery. |
Students should understand the basics of current mindbody pain science and have already ruled out any serious or life-threatening illness with their medical providers.
Using the framework of Internal Family Systems, each class session will focus on one of the eight facets of Self Energy (the 8 C's of IFS). By learning to access more Self energy, students can cultivate resiliency and enhance their process of inner healing.
Class sessions include learning materials, group discussion, guided visualization, and writing exercises. Sessions will also include a gentle somatic practice (Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® Lesson).

Using subtle movement and heightened awareness, students break down habitual behaviors into smaller, more subtle component parts.
Learning and change become possible through mindful attention, curiosity, and playful experimentation thus re-establishing connections between sensorimotor cortex and nervous system. (Connections that may have been disturbed through habitual misuse, tension, or injury). Focusing on developmentally-based patterns of behavior, students can rediscover movement range and ease. With greater movement efficiency, students enhance their potential to excel, whether in high performance activities such as in sports and the arts or simply living more fully. |
