Hakomi Therapy
I received my certification in Hakomi therapy, with the Seattle Hakomi Education Network. Hakomi therapy is an experiential mindfulness based somatic psychotherapy*.
Founded by Ron Kurtz and rooted in the Buddhist practice of mindfulness and loving presence, this nourishing therapeutic approach centers the felt experience of the body as the foundation for assisted self discovery.
Unlike with traditional psychotherapy, there is no diagnosis given, no presumed pathology to decipher. Rather, there is the radical notion that no one is broken and every body can access healing through expanded self awareness and the shared experience of safety and connection.
