About Mia
My focus is on relationships, trauma, and neurodivergence.
I predominantly use a relational, transpersonal, parts and somatic approach. I don't believe in a society where humans are rated or have opportunities or freedoms based on a hierarchy. Here is a brief summary of what this means and how I work:
- I see unconditional human connection as one of the most powrful therapeutic interventions.
- Internal conflict can be resolved when we understand the various parts that make up these experiences.
- Our nervous system drives our emotions and our mental states. When we get to know and become friends with our nervous system, we can transform our way of being.
- We don't need to understand what happened to find healing. When trauma is trapped in the body, we can use movement, touch, voice, breath to allow release.
- We live in a world that was designed for those that are what is considered 'normal'. Normal just means that we are the norm, within the typical range. Being extraordinary is 'not normal'.
- Being neurodivergent means living in a world that was not designed for us. We are a square peg trying to squeeze into a round hole. We may experience some of our capacities as disabilities.
- One of our biggest struggles as neurodivergent individuals can be the internalized ableism (shame) we have around how we (don't) function.
- We all have a need to belong, to believe in something bigger than ourselves, and that we have a meaningful role.
- When we find moments of 'knowing' (awe, gratitude, the vastness of connection with everything), we get a very different perspective on our daily challenges.
- Our bodies can be an access point to this kind of presence, except that pain and trauma can make such 'being in our bodies' difficult.
