I wanted to highlight a great therapist/client resource:
Mara Giovanni now has groups, classes, and trainings available at The Estuary’s new location in Nashville.
Her Peaceful Warrior workshop is accessible, empowering, safe, and fun for clients of all ages, ability levels, and body types.
Mara also offers individual Kali Connection Therapy sessions to help clients’ nervous systems heal.
She is so well versed in the latest brain science of nervous system treatment, and KCT doesn’t require talking: just rhythmic, patterned, repetitive, collaborative, easy, and expressive movement.
I highly recommend referring a client to her for greater healing, empowerment, and fun, while you continue in-session psychotherapy.
(I think you can see more of her work on Instagram and Facebook if you look up Kali Connection Therapy and/or Mara Giovanni but I don’t use those platforms so not sure).
From her website:
Neuroscience-Based
Somatic Therapy
We Train Attunement, Regulation & Empowerment KCT® is a nervous system reset for people who feel stuck in old stress responses or are simply ready to train their system differently.
We start by noticing your state, then use targeted neuroscience based practices like orienting, bilateral stimulation, movement, rhythm, connection, and play to work with fast brainstem level responses before conscious thought takes over.
The idea is simple: your nervous system learned the old response. We train in a new one through targeted experiences so your body can believe it.
