“Alyssa’s keen commitment to interventions that help clients in their recovery from trauma stands out. Her understanding of the vital importance of integrating body-based approaches into trauma treatment far exceeds that of most practitioners.”

“Years of past talk therapy got me nowhere, I felt stuck and hopeless. Alyssa’s approach was so different, I feel so much more alive and light. Things can still be hard, but I am more steady. Slowly learning to be in my body with self-compassion changed me.”

Josh, professional receiving consultation

Alyssa supervised me while I was working at a clinic. I had my LCSW and was working toward my LICSW. I found Alyssa easy to talk to and she helped me understand general practice skills in addition to sharing her passion for body-based tools that help people who have trauma histories. In supervision with her, I always felt I could better help my clients and understand my experience and needs as a therapist. I still do consultation with Alyssa even though I have my LICSW and I find it really helpful for clients with complex trauma and childhood trauma.

Carly, yoga student

I love attending Alyssa’s yoga classes, as they are not too slow and not too fast. She has such a calming presence and holds space for each participant no matter how they are showing up that day.

Amy, workshop participant

I attended the Embodying Meditation Workshop and was surprised by how Alyssa was able to blend together yoga and therapy to facilitate understanding about trauma and how to heal from its impact. I learned a lot, had tools to use after the workshop to change habitual patterns and it was all done and facilitated in a thoughtful yet also fun and playful way.
