Did you know that Internal Family Systems (IFS) is now used around the world by millions of people? IFS is the most popular structure for doing parts work and inner child healing. It's one of the most powerful modalities for psychological, emotional, and spiritual healing that I have found, consistently seeing shifts not only in my own life, but also in my clients'.

The parts work coach, practitioner, or therapist supports you to learn the process and gain more Self energy so that you can do this work anytime with any issue all by yourself! That is always my goal - to give my clients more skills, choice, and sovereignty around their healing and life.

I find that the energy work and nervous styem healing of acupuncture pairs very well with parts work. You can use it for physical symptoms, emotional and mental symptoms, as well as for inner conflict and self-sabotaging behaviors.

Some examples include:

Physical: headaches, aches and pains, fatigue, allergies

Emotional: anxieties, sadness, anger, guilt

Mental: rumination, insomnia from overthinking, negative thoughts

Inner conflict: you want to get a new job for the past 2 years, but still can't seem to make the shift

Self-sabotage:

Relational patterns

• Pushing away intimacy right when a relationship starts feeling safe or close

• Picking unavailable or inconsistent partners repeatedly

• People-pleasing or over-accommodating to the point of losing yourself

• Testing partners (pushing buttons, creating conflict) to see if they'll leave

• Difficulty receiving love, compliments, or support without deflecting

Work & achievement

• Procrastinating on meaningful projects, especially ones tied to real desire or purpose

• Chronic over-preparing or perfectionism that delays finishing or launching anything

• Undercharging, undervaluing your work, or sabotaging financial success right as it starts to grow

• Taking on too much and burning out, then withdrawing completely

Body & health

• Disordered eating patterns (restriction, bingeing) tied to control or numbing

• Ignoring or overriding physical pain, fatigue, or illness signals

• Substance use, overworking, or overexercising as a way to avoid feeling

• Chronic tension, bracing, or armoring that shows up as physical pain with no clear cause

Emotional patterns

• Numbing out (screens, food, busyness) right when something vulnerable surfaces

• Sudden anger or shutdown in response to minor triggers

• Self-criticism or harsh inner dialogue that spikes right before growth or success

• Dissociating or "leaving the body" during stress or conflict

Self-worth & identity

• Staying small or invisible to avoid envy, conflict, or standing out

• Chronic self-abandonment — deprioritizing your own needs automatically

• Repeating the same "stuck" story about who you are, even when evidence contradicts it

• Sabotaging right at the edge of a breakthrough or a new level of visibility

You've read the books. You've done the therapy. You know your patterns — but still feel stuck or like nothing every changes.

That's because insight lives in your head, and your patterns live in your body.

Somatic Parts Work Coaching is a felt-sense practice — meeting the exiled parts of you, the protectors, the little ones still running old survival strategies — not through analysis, but through presence, sensation, and the body's own intelligent love.

Together, we'll:

• Meet the parts of you that are still bracing, numbing, or over-functioning to keep you safe

• Build real capacity to feel — pleasure, grief, rage, aliveness — without getting flooded or shutting down

• Rebuild trust with your own body as a source of wisdom, not a problem to manage

• Move patterns out of your nervous system, not just out of your understanding

This is the work of coming home — to your body, your parts, your Self.

Not another year of knowing what's wrong. A path to actually feeling different.
