Mind-Body coaching sessions

*for individuals and groups

Do you ever feel like your mind knows you are responding with an exaggerated level of stress or anxiety, yet telling your body to “just relax” doesn’t work? We CAN learn to communicate with our bodies and nervous systems; it just requires learning the language of the body! We will identify ways that stress, unprocessed emotion and accumulated habits of responding show up in your life through your body, sleep patterns, habitual responses and other factors. Pulling from a large toolbox of mind-body skills, practices and techniques, we will find the ones that work for your unique way of processing. Practices may include meditation techniques, breathwork, visualization, healing touch among others.

Over time, utilizing these powerful evidence-based techniques can increase your health and well-being in a variety of ways including potential for improved sleep, increased creativity, less reactivity and beneficial physiological changes. These sessions will include home practice and may include audio recordings of our in-session guided practices that you can use on your own.

This area of work has been a particular interest to me over many years. I love to share this knowledge with others: it is empowering to be able to support your own well-being with these practices, especially when situational challenges arise at home, and in our local and global community. When we are able to track our own body-mind and support greater responsiveness and less reactivity, we can participate more effectively in our relationships, at work and in our communities. Please see About section for relevant training and credentials.

*GROUPS I also offer mind-body skills trainings for groups. Is your team subjected to ongoing stressors in the workplace? If so, you could benefit from learning and practicing these skills together! Unless avenues are provided for managing daily mental and emotional challenges, stress can build eventually impacting employee well-being, team morale, and productivity. Please contact me for further information.

Feedback from half-day workshop with Veterinary Behavior Specialties of MN in Hopkins, MN:

“Nicole did a Mind Body Workshop for our high stress business today - absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommend!”

Shiatsu Bodywork

With the client fully clothed, I incorporate Shiatsu pressure techniques with the energetic techniques of Craniosacral Therapy and/or Reiki according to symptoms present and your particular needs and wishes. I often treat acupressure meridians and points.  Shiatsu works on many layers of the body leaving you feeling relaxed, revived and "fed." One client's response: "Shiatsu feels so complete! Often after a massage I want just a little more, not so with Shiatsu." I have also trained in Muskuloskeletal alignment techniques and other fascial and joint mobilization practices that we can employ for specific issues. Visit FAQ page for more info on each modality.

Ritual and Ceremony

Support creating ritual for life events, healing, letting go, opening towards... there is a reason ritual has been used since ancient times.  There is power in intention, power in our deeper knowing. Today's society does not typically support these practices of intention, elemental wisdom and ritual.  I will listen to what you are working with, letting go, creating and/or honoring. Together we will create a ritual that best suits you and your situation. *This service is donation-based.

Remote sessions: Distance Reiki, Mind-Body Skills

I will continue offering remote options for services. We can meet via telephone, FaceTime or Zoom. I offer distance energy healing and remote mind-body skills sessions where we share in dialogue and then apply evidence-based and ancient practices to assist in regulating the nervous system, shifting emotional states or moving energy depending on what is needed.

Cupping - great for local and meridian (energy lines) stagnation.

Meditation - upon request, a guided or silent visualization prior to your session or in closing.  Aids is grounding, centering, and integrating the healing work. I can also work with you as a mindfulness meditation mentor
