Principles                                                                          
(of Hakomi and the Re-Creation of the Self therapeutic models)


Mindfulness: a receptive state, curious and non-judgmental; focused attention on what is happening internally in the present moment.

Nonviolence: change without force; deep respect for the integrity, needs, strengths and limits of the other.

Organicity: within each person is the natural impulse towards growth and change; we honor the inner wisdom that directs the process of healing and development.

Mind-body holism: the mind, body and spirit are an interwoven whole; the body reflects important information from the whole person.

Unity: we are equal in worth; we impact one another and we are, ultimately, all in this together.

Loving Presence: a calm, open-hearted and attentive state of emotional connection; finding contentment in being with another.


These principles guide my work and my personal life.
     The softest things in
      the  world overcome
      the hardest things in
       the world.
