Somatic IFS Workbook now available. Plus, upcoming 2025 SIFS retreats!

Welcome to all of you who have signed up for my newsletter, and a warm hello to those of you awaiting word about new Somatic IFS programs. I am grateful for your continued interest in Somatic IFS. Since my last newsletter I have been leading several Step 1s and Step 2s, and I now bring you some new exciting opportunities to experience and learn Somatic IFS to deepen your embodiment and bring this work to your clients.

North Atlantic Books encouraged me to write a workbook as a companion to my book published in 2020 to bring exercises, case examples, and practical guidance to assist in the embodiment of ourselves, our students, our clients, and our groups.

A 6-week consultation group for IFS therapists and practitioners who are ready to take their IFS sessions to the next level by integrating somatic practices into their work.

Each group will start with a meditation and teaching on a specific somatic practice to help us connect more deeply with our bodies and parts. This will be followed by a combination of group practice, case consultation and supportive feedback.

Sessions will be 2 hours long, and we’ll meet every other week to provide sufficient time between sessions to practice new somatic skills with clients.
