Service Description

Therapists and Mental Health Professionals need a place to recharge, regulate, and decompress after continued work of holding space for others. This 60-minute monthly class is open to working therapists, social workers, psychologists, and those in helping professions. It is designed to use somatic and embodiment practices for self-care and body connection. Michelle Pietrzak-Wegner, somatically-trained licensed mental health counselor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner™, will guide participants in a themed practice using sensory awareness, body-based movements, mindfulness, and breath work for the purpose of settling the nervous system. Participants are encouraged to attend monthly as each practice will have its unique focus. These classes take place via Zoom and can be attended from home, office or any location in which you can find a corner of quiet while logged into your computer. These group sessions are not a replacement for therapy nor do they offer a space for processing emotions or thoughts, rather sessions are present-moment focused, experiential and exploratory with as much or as little participation by you. All content is invitational and not obligatory. I support camera's turned off once you log on and check into the session first with your camera on. Registration is online and can be done up until 1-hour before the class. If you have curiosities, questions, or inquiries before signing up, please email Michelle at embodiedtherapyinfo@gmail.com.
