Hi, I’m Shekina.
Wherever you are on your journey, whether you’re working through a deep rift at the moment or simply have that niggle that there is something MORE; I welcome the questions.. What if your current situation is your unique key to growth? What kinds of desires is your heart truly calling for?
In sessions together we learn the language of your unique body and nervous system. This includes working from the inside out; from the bottom up. We work with the healing the inner child, with traumatic events, unresolving physical symptoms, and intrusive memory fragments or other persisting patterns. I combine modalities based on what is showing up in our time together, including Somatic Experiencing, Attachment Repair, Biodynamic Breathwork and other trauma integration focused modalities. These body based sessions can include verbal processing, breath, movement, bodywork, emotional expression, and meditation. Sessions are focused on trauma integration, as well for continued self growth and self healing, continuing your expansion to wholeness, ease, and aliveness. Sessions are in Richmond or online.
Understanding how we relate, and unraveling our own patterns around relating with others creates FREEDOM. Freedom to truly build and maintain nourishing relationships and connections in the way we are deeply desiring; not to mention the sense of freedom in knowing and understanding ourselves. I view group work and learning our dynamics akin to bringing our meditation practice into our relationships and into daily life. I organize Ecstatic Dance RVA, Authentic Relating RVA, Heart Healing Ceremonies, Womens Healing Groups amongst other events.
Group work and healing in connection is my jam. There is also a whole aspect of my work that focuses on embodied self love, expanding our individual capacity, and self expression. From Expressive Meditation Courses, Group Workshops, and especially in my one on one program the intention is to awaken the deeper capacity within YOU. To assist in the self attunement and creating more resiliency in your nervous system, leading to new skills, habits, and mindsets that propel you forward in soulful self growth. My next EXPRESSIVE MEDITATION COURSE begins June 14th live in RVA.
I worked in the medical field, wellness, and teaching yoga and meditation for many years. I reached a turning point when I found trauma therapy, expressive meditations, and group work that began to unravel the layers of sexual trauma and challenging relating dynamics and attachment wounds I had unknowingly been carrying.
My divorce was a catalyst; my physical ailments a message. My most trying moments have lead to great self discoveries; and it isn’t only me, this continues to be true for clients and others I work with..
Stay in the loop about sessions, online offerings, in person gatherings and workshops both in RVA and abroad!
