Transforming Touch ®

Transforming Touch® crosses the barriers of non-verbal and recognizes that through nervous system coherence, the client can begin to change their relational story and gain greater capacity for aliveness, connectedness, and sovereignty. 

Transforming Touch® ​targets pre-verbal stages which have profound impacts on nervous system development.  The modality is based on the idea that when there are ruptures during early platform development, they continue to disrupt a person's life.    ​These can include relational wounding or neglect, unmet early childhood needs, and developmental​ trauma (from pre-conception to 3-5 years old). 

Transforming Touch® focuses on the nervous system and the co-regulation between practitioner and client, incorporating presence, regulation, and relationship to repair these ruptures. 

Transforming Touch® rebuilds the original physiological regulatory foundational piece that never existed or collapsed due to toxic stress in the early years. ​Touch comes in support to the younger self, held in trust and safety on the table. 

What about virtual sessions?

The protocols and enhancements are designed to facilitate regulation within our client's nervous systems  with or without physical touch.  The Practitioner uses voice and presence to provide cues of support to the attachment physiology.  

Transforming Presence is an effective way of providing repair to the relational matrix without hands-on work.   The power of working with intention has been shared from therapists around the world.  Some believe it is stronger than using physical touch.
