Hakomi

Hakomi is a depth oriented somatic mindfulness approach which I have been studying over the past 4 years. I am a Hakomi Certified Practitioner, and hold this lens of client centered, present moment, relational therapy as a framework for all of the work that I do with clients. Hakomi is a gently powerful; the way in which water can cut through stone. This combined with an IFS informed approach is a potent bottom up duo that can deeply shift held patterns and bring revelatory insights.

Natalie Buchwald has been certified as a Hakomi practitioner after completing a post-graduate training.

I assisted in the most recent Pro Skills 2 training and am currently pursuing certification.

I have been practicing Hakomi mindfulness-based somatic experiential therapy with clients since 2016. I have worked with clients in-person but also virtually to help them re-organize their relationship with themselves and their experiences and helped to provide missing experiences to create more wholeness.

Hakomi is a modality that greatly informs my work and how we will explore your healing journey together. Hakomi utilizes mindfulness as the route into the memories and beliefs storied in your body, helping us study together how you both consciously and unconsciously orient around your present moment and past life experience, giving us the opportunity to, together, collaboratively experiment to create new experiences in those core memories.

I am trained in Hakomi, a mindfulness-based somatic (body-centered) approach to therapy.

Hakomi is a mindfulness and somatic-based therapy which I find helpful to increase awareness, self compassion and the ability to access the wisdom that we all have inside. Hakomi trusts and respects the individual, and at the same time it takes into account that all of us have a past context we came from which informs who we are now. I support my clients to find more freedom and satisfaction in their lives through experiencing new possibilities in the present.

Hakomi is an integrative method that combines Western psychology and body-centered techniques with mindfulness principles from Eastern psychology. Hakomi takes into account that we carry our memories and traumas and feelings in our physical bodies. The way mindfulness is utilized here maintains its integrity as a profound experience that reconnects the client and therapist to their true and common humanity. It is when an individual feels truly joined by another on their healing journey.

Completed a two-year training with The Hakomi Institute in The Hakomi Method of Mindful, Somatic Psychotherapy, 2007.

I am a Hakomi inspired therapist. Hakomi is a body centered, present moment modality that moves at the pace of your own healing. It is client led, deep, body based, and a wonderful way to work with historical patterns and trauma. The Hakomi method, as designed by Ron Kurtz, is a therapeutic approach that meets the entire individual. It offers slow change that allows you to integrate what has happened perviously while moving into the future you would like.

Hakomi is a mindfulness centered somatic (body-based) psychotherapy. I hold a doctorate degree in naturopathic medicine with specialized training in Hakomi therapy.

I am currently engaged in the Level 2 Hakomi training. I like to try out small experiments in mindfulness to take a look at the thoughts, memories, feelings, and sensations that arise in relation to symptoms or struggles. In Hakomi, we accept these symptoms as sources of valuable information. Mindfulness and compassion for oneself allows old patterns to be seen and updated.

I incorporate mindfulness-based methods of Hakomi, Recreation of Self (RC-S), attachment work, and trauma resourcing. I have extensive training learning these modalities through ongoing practice and supervision, through previous internship experience, and training with Mindful Experiential Therapy Approaches (M.E.T.A.).

The Hakomi Method is at the forefront in the field of mindfulness-based somatic psychotherapy. Hakomi is based in the principles of mindfulness, non-violence, organicity, and change. The root of the work is seated in present moment experience. These experiences illuminate unconscious core material and neural patterns that inform the way we see ourselves and the world. In a loving, gentle, and safe container, I assist clients into a place of self-study and profound transformation.

I believe in the transformative ability of "being with" difficult emotions. Hakomi incorporates mindfulness and somatic awareness to access emotions.

The Hakomi Method is a present-focused, experiential approach to therapy that uses mindfulness, touch, and movement. Central to my practice is my use of The Hakomi Method to assist my clients in seeing themselves more.

I am a trained Hakomi Practitioner. Hakomi is a somatic and mindfulness-based experiential psychotherapy that is really impactful in shifting the self-beliefs and stories that are no longer working for us. Thereby, helping us to have more agency and choice to make the changes we need.
