In pain? 

If you are experiencing headaches, migraines, jaw tightness or shoulder tension or other sensations that impact your ability to think and accomplish the many tasks of your day ... OR...

 you are a workaholic with tense neck and shoulders (which are not resolved by massage, foam rolling, yoga, ibuprofen, sleeping, resting etc no matter how much or how often you do/use/try?) 

Or you are irritable and resentful from overgiving, unable to slow down or relax, feeling overwhelmed, unheard, anxious, unhappy, keeping everything inside.

Listen to your body.

Change is available for you EVEN if  you have no idea HOW you could feel or be different.

First, check in with your body:

Are you in pain in your body in this moment?

If the answer is yes, that is a starting point for change.  Many people who are in pain believe there is nothing that can be done, mainly because they have been thinking or have been told that their options are limited. Instead it could be that you haven't been introduced to modalities such as CranioSacral work and/or having someone to talk to about your experience in the body.   

Many times over the past decades (including the late 90s when I was a drug and alcohol counselor) I heard people say after sessions: "I feel so much better. I just needed to get that off my chest."

Talking (getting it off their chest) is why they felt better.

Book a free consultation here to talk about your current situation, issues, needs and goals.  You will receive a tool or exercise to use immediately for your current, most critical challenge. 

The consultation is for gathering information. It serves as an 'intake' as well as a mini-session so when we meet for the first session, you are already starting to feel better in your body.

I am Aldene Etter, MEd

(Masters in counseling),

CranioSacral Therapist, Bodyworker,

Somatic Coach, Intuitive, Healing Facilitator, Shamanic Practitioner, Reflexologist, Yoga Teacher, Channel, Medium. 

For over 25 years, I have helped adults, teens and children FEEL BETTER. How?  By listening ...as well as addressing pain, discomfort, numbness, tension in the body as well as old patterns of thinking/behaving.

I help people NAVIGATE the STRESS of life and find ways to experience FEELING SAFE in the body. The results: less pain, more energy, focus and the mental & emotional capacity to accomplish tasks as well as fully live life.

In confidential 1 to 1 sessions, I listen.  I also teach exercises and give tools to begin to slow down enough to notice your breath, connect with your body and be in the present moment, to feel more centered and balanced. 

Unwinding happens.  Releasing happens.  Calm, centered, grounding happens.  Distant craniosacral integration facilitates relaxation and transformation. Some clients choose to go deeper with SomatoEmotional Release work, releasing long held patterns in the tissue. 

We meet in 1 hour sessions, most of the time. You may sometimes choose a longer session to dive deeper into one of your current issues or patterns, consciously examining and moving toward resolution.

Time and commitment are needed to unwind old patterns.  Change can be challenging and difficult. Your mind will want to resist. We will notice that resistance and choose to meet regularly in confidential sessions to disrupt old patterns and create/maintain new ones. 

 

Start imagining the I-feel-good version of yourself.

How do you feel in your body? How are your relationships? What are your opportunities?

Not Sure?  Let's explore together during the free consultation.

Your time is valuable. The consultation is well worth the hour you commit. It also is a step toward you committing to show up regularly (with intention) for yourself. Schedule yours here

One of the benefits of working with a somatic coach is having someone who points out AND tracks your successes, achievements and the small & giant steps toward your goal.

"There is the thought, then there is the knowing of the thought. 
The difference between 'Being Aware of the thought' and 'Just Thinking' is immense. 

  It’s enormous.

Normally, we are so identified with our thoughts and emotions that we ARE them.   

We have to learn to step back and know our thoughts and emotions are JUST thoughts and emotions.

They are just mental states.

They are not solid.

They are transparent."

-Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, Author & Buddhist teacher
