Restoring the Wounded Inner Child
"Through embodied consciousness we have direct and deeply personal experience with our life force, soul essence, and core-self. In these moments we remember who we are. In these moments we experience profound healing."​​​
​
-Leslie Rhyne
Over the last 20 years of working with clients, as a teacher of yoga, healing arts practitioner, and psychotherapist, I notice an overwhelming theme: the wounds of our past, conscious or unconscious, continue to drive our present. As we continue on with life, the imprint of those wounds will often reveal themselves in subtle and not so subtle ways. We may have glimpses of it through we way we talk to ourselves, through our relationship patterns and dynamics, or we may only have awareness of the presenting symptoms like anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, migraine, addiction, disordered eating or any number of ways that manage and protect what is bubbling under the surface.
​
As someone who has dedicated their life to looking inside at my own wounds and learning to expand and strengthen my core-self to lovingly hold them, I have a unique ability to see, welcome and compassionately hold space for the complicated ways early core wounds like shame, unworthiness, and helplessness may be surfacing in your life now. I also have an abundance of somatic and emotionally attuned ways to help you reconnect with and nourish your core-self.
The beauty of this work is in building the confidence, compassion, and courage to face the terror, grief and rage of long enduring woundedness in ways that bring a greater felt sense of peacefulness, joy, and over all health to your life. ​No one can heal alone, and no one can do it for you. It would be a honor to hold space and offer guidance as you rediscover your strength to turn inward.

"Wisdom comes from a sustained practice of presence, not perfection."
-Leslie Rhyne
My work with clients is experiential and somatically oriented. This work is a synthesis of over twenty years of experience as a teacher of yoga, massage and bodywork, energy psychology, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems and mentoring those wanting to delve deeper into the healing power of ancient wisdom traditions. Working in this way helps clients access their unique and embodied wisdom. This process offers a gentle and transformative way to integrate the trauma of past wounds and experience life in new ways. My commitment to integrative work through the mind, body, and heart is rooted in a deep understanding of the complexities and beauty of being a soul having a human experience. This attuned and embodied approach has and continues to evolve through experience, trainings, and devotion to my own healing.
