What to Expect in a Session:
Each session with Ere is a co-creative journey—a space to slow down, listen deeply, and follow the wisdom of your body at a pace that feels safe and supported. Safety is the foundation, creating a supportive container for exploration and growth. Some sessions are deeply restorative, while others open gentle space for long-held emotions or stories to surface and shift. As tension and old patterns unwind, they are met with compassion and curiosity, allowing your system to reorganize and return to its natural balance.
Craniosacral Therapy often provides a gentle entry point, inviting the nervous system to settle and guiding the process from within. From there, Ere may invite awareness of how the body carries sensations, emotions, or memories. When deeper exploration is called for, she may integrate SomatoEmotional Release, combining light touch with minimal dialogue so clients remain in agency while following the body’s own intelligence.
The process may also expand into modalities that meet deeper layers of experience: inner child healing, meeting younger parts with care and safety; the exploration of ancestral and generational patterns (Family Constellations), or the balancing principles of Five Element Shiatsu to restore harmony in the system. These pathways are never forced—they emerge naturally, guided by what the body is ready to reveal, creating opportunities to experience safety, acceptance, and nurturing in new ways.
Each session concludes with integration, giving space for new insights and experiences to settle. Clients often leave with a sense of clarity, lightness, and renewed connection to themselves, carrying this balance and vitality into daily life.
