A gentle, conversational way to move out of stress and into more ease, resilience and joy.

​

For the last 20 years I've helped people release chronic pain, stress and unhelpful patterns of holding through Rolfing. Over and over, I've seen that the body/mind complex already knows how to heal when it's given the right conditions. Organic Intelligence® (OI) coaching works with that same natural intelligence through conversation.​

​

What is Organic Intelligence?

Organic Intelligence is an approach to stress, anxiety and trauma developed by Steve Hoskinson. Instead of digging through painful memories, OI focuses on growing your nervous system's capacity, your "bandwidth," so that life feels less overwhelming.

​

When we're stuck in fight, flight or freeze, everything takes more effort. OI helps your system notice and build on what's already working: moments of safety, connection, pleasure and ease. As that capacity grows, old reactions and chronic stress often begin to soften on their own.

​

Who it's for

OI coaching can help if you:

• Feel anxious, wired or on edge much of the time

• Get caught in negative thought loops

• Are burned out, exhausted or running on empty

• Carry the effects of past trauma, accidents or difficult experiences

• Want to feel more present, resilient and at home in your life

​

What a session looks like

Sessions are a relaxed, attuned conversation that can also include strategic uses of perception or simple movements. There's no need to retell your story or relive anything difficult. I'll help you notice what's happening in your body and mind in the moment, and gently support the shifts that bring more calm, clarity and pleasure. Many people leave feeling lighter and more settled and over time find that ease and clarity become a spontaneous part of everyday life.

​

Sessions are 60 minutes in person at my Portland office or via Zoom.
