Why touch?

  • Touch is able to reach into our core preverbal experiences of attachment. By connecting through touch we are able to support parts of you that might not be easily accessible otherwise.

Core Principles of Hakomi

  • Unity: We are in this together

  • Organicity: All parts are connected and communicate within the whole; what wants to happen?

  • Body - mind holism: We listen to the soma in container of space, safety, and connection.

  • Mindfulness: To feel the direct experience and receive information of this moment.

  • Non-violence: We befriend resistance; support all parts, study, yield, ally, adjust.

  • Loving Presence: Compassionate and relational presence - I feel you and I’m with you.
