Using Somatic Psychology to Create New Patterns

This class will help you to identify what old patterns are creating for you in your body and in your life and then we will work on ways to let the new patterns emerge from a different place inside. This will be a time to drop the thinking and to allow other parts to express. The class will be experiential and didactic.

This event will be hosted by Celeste Ballard, LPC-MHSP who is the owner of Within Holistic Counseling. Celeste’s passion for the field has been a lifelong endeavor and this is evident in the daily commitment to both her personal and professional growth.
