The human body is not an instrument to be used, but a realm of one’s being to be experienced, explored, enriched and, thereby, educated.”
~Thomas Hanna
Message from Arianne:
My intention when working with clients is to provide exemplary empathic attunement and real, felt, relational alignment. I naturally acknowledge and return to feelings, memories, and dreams as messages worthy of attention. I meet my clients where they need to be met, a partner in the discovery and illumination of the mysteries of psyche, soul, body, mind. I bring my passion for somatic and creative healing techniques to my practice as a way to support relational and person-centered therapy. I believe that growth comes from tender curiosity into our shadow selves and that self-discovery arrives when we open ourselves to authenticity. I am a wife, mother, daughter, and friend as well as an eternally developing woman. I look forward to being of service to your life’s journey toward self-hood.
