Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy is a mindfulness-based therapy approach that honors your innate capacity for self-healing.
Blending mindfulness, body awareness, and emotional integration, somatic psychotherapy gently supports trauma healing, attachment repair, and deeper connection to self using effective tools to transform from within.
Somatic Psychotherapy invites you to access the innate intelligence within you, exploring the deep connection between your mind and body through physical sensations and emotions to facilitate organic healing and transformation.
Guided by your natural capacity for healing, this therapeutic process helps you:
With “organicity”—the natural inclination towards healing—as a guiding principle, the process gently supports you to discover your inner wisdom and allows healing to unfold organically in a relational field of loving presence and attunement.
Innate Wisdom and Organicity
At the core of this therapeutic approach lies the belief in your innate capacity for healing. The process helps you connect to your inner intelligence, which naturally moves toward growth, balance, and transformation. With gentle curiosity, Hakomi uses reflections and invitations to explore your present-moment experience. These inquiries bring awareness to what is ready to unfold while somatic resourcing helps rebuild a regulated nervous system.

Ethics of Respect: Honoring Defenses and Boundaries
The unique power of Hakomi lies in its ability to honor all facets of your being while providing specific tools to access the depth of your inner world. Hakomi respects your body’s wisdom, including its natural defenses. These are seen as protectors and allies, guiding therapy at a pace aligned with your needs to ensure a gentle, non-invasive process. Honoring your defenses enables you to follow the body’s wisdom in a safe and natural progression. This approach ensures that each part of your being is met with care and understanding.
Polarity Work: Holding Dualities

Ecstasy and terror, light and shadow, life and death—we grow by learning to move between polarities, using the dance between opposites to create meaningful change. By embodying both sides of a polarity you will learn to uncover the wisdom embedded in the dialectic.
