About Calling to Connection
My Philosophy
Welcome, Wonderful You! I’m Genevieve! As a Somatic Practitioner, Aware Parenting Instructor, Massage Therapist, former Yoga Instructor and Mother of 2, I know that humans are born with the innate response to heal from stress, come back to a state of true nature and to feel connected to all of life. Underneath troubling behaviors and self judgement are repressed and unexpressed feelings and emotions that leave us disconnected from our bodies and each other. Meeting people where they are and listening with grounded presence is a foundational supportive tool for feeling safe, heard and seen which then leads to processing, integration and balance of the mind and body - a knowing and sensing that we are deeply connected to and supported by Life, Source, God etc.
My Experience
Experiential learning has made the biggest impact in my life. Growing up with addiction and dysfunction in my family, along with becoming a single mother, lead me to become a Massage Therapist (2012), Yoga Instructor, graduating from YogaLife Institute (2011), studying and practicing Aware Parenting (AwP), becoming an Instructor (2021) and continual inner work with Awakening to Presence (ATP) Practitioner Linda Lyng since February of 2015.
Aware Parenting is a child rearing approach developed by Aletha Solter, Ph.D. It is based on research in the fields of attachment, child development, psychotherapy, cross-cultural studies, and the neurobiology of trauma. Parents who follow this approach raise children who are cooperative, compassionate, competent, nonviolent, and drug free. It is also highly recommended for parents to either work with an AwP instructor, therapist and/or have a listening partner to process their own past hurts as a child. I offer AwP Instructor Support for listening to your concerns and identifying family needs.
Awakening to Presence (ATP) was founded by Michael Fleming and is an integrated approach to personal change and well being which he has been developing and refining for 30 years. It integrates a wide variety of physical, emotional, and cognitive approaches, such as exercise, energy work, bodywork, meditation, neuroscience, emotional process work, trauma release work, early child development, and felt-sense methods of inquiry. ATP is a body-oriented style of investigation, which takes the stance that the true power for healing and creative change comes from within each person. This is the foundational work in my Somatic Healing Sessions.
What is a Somatic Practitioner?
As a Somatic Practitioner I guide others in deepening their awareness of their body’s innate wisdom. Through gentle observation and presence, I help others rediscover the powerful ability to process stress and trauma, allowing the body to do what it naturally knows—heal. Rather than forcing change through positive affirmations that never seem to stick, this work is about bringing awareness to the inner judge, releasing tension using organic or guided movement which leads to emotional release and expansion - reconnecting with the body's natural rhythms and trusting the intelligence within. When you learn to listen to your body and honor its signals, you reclaim your resilience, clarity, and power—returning to a state of ease and wholeness.”
