Karen Miner

My intention and desire as a trauma therapist is to facilitate my clients to gain an inner awareness, to integrate and reconnect with their true essence so they can manifest more of their potential in their lives. Through our work together, in addressing the physical and emotional blocks, they can rediscover and/or remember a sense of their wholeness and create a more vital, joyous and fully expressed life. My work is based on a deep belief in holistic healing methods that include mind, body and spirit. I am a practitioner of the Somatic Experiencing (SE)for resolving trauma symptoms, relieving chronic stress and resetting the nervous system to increase vitality and inner balance. I have 25+ years of training in different modalities of body oriented energy work primarily with cranial/sacral therapy (BCST) and chakra healing and find these three modalities greatly support each other. Cranial/sacral is a gentle noninvasive treatment that can be incredibly helpful in reducing emotional stress and physical pain. SE, BCST and chakra healing are based on the awareness that health is free flowing energy and disease and trauma symptoms are blocks in the energy flow. In a supportive, mindful and caring manner trauma symptoms can be resolved, released and restore inner balance replacing the fight, flight and freeze responses. Other trainings that I incorporate are Nervous System Energy Work, Heart Centered Hypnotherapy, EFT, Continuum Breathwork, and Spiritual Counseling with an Indigenous Influence.
