About Haley…
Working with her own generational trauma for years Haley has developed a keen understanding on patterns that arise from blueprints of unchosen experiences.
Haley has always been a compassionate presence and has been a mover since a young age. She prefers to utilize the knowledge of her own inherent wisdom. As a dancer and somatic practitioner with diverse roots that include Celtic. She is a devotee of the body and soul, and believes that our wild (i.e. natural) embodiment is a portal to transform separation into wholeness and restore a reciprocal relationship with the land, community, and our own sense of self-knowledge.
With a background in the arts as well she ties together creative ways to unblock psychosomatic road bumps that arise from trauma. The healing arts is something that she herself has practiced with great success in becoming unstuck from all that holds us back on our journey of becoming, maturing, and belonging.
It is with great pleasure to be of discipline to the knowledge passed down to me to share with you In a unique unfolding way
“Somatics understands that safety, belonging, and dignity are core needs for all people. Yet, social and economic systems do not meet these needs equitably. This inequity, or systemic oppression, is one of the root causes of trauma. Understanding this, and learning to work with it effectively, can radically empower our approaches to healing, resilience building, and to social change work.”
