As an adjunct faculty member at Bastyr University, and an alumni of Antioch University where I completed a master's degree, I've long been interested in alternative approaches to healing and personal transformation.
As a psychotherapist since 1990, I've learned that people make the biggest changes when new insights and understandings are linked to a shift in bodily felt experience. This led me to curiosity about whether some somatic sensations might actually be evidence of the vital force, or what naturopaths call the "vis medicatrix naturae."
