My heart is full of gratitude from the 14 weeks with our Softer Together group therapy clients that came to completion today!

We’re now accepting applicants for the next round beginning in February.

Softer Together is a closed women’s group designed to help you understand your body, reduce stress, and share your story in a safe, supportive space.

We draw from Try Softer by Aundi Kolber, The Developing Mind by Dan Siegel, and a range of self-compassion and somatic practices to support healing that’s felt in your body and heart.

We’ll meet weekly for 14 weeks, each session lasting 1.5 hours. The group is $70 per session, and spots are limited to maintain intimacy and safety.

Thankful for this accidental photo from yesterday’s group ear acupuncture (AKA acu-detox) session as one participant preferred our group photo not be posted. ☺️

Three of the participants had never received acupuncture before and all had positive experiences.

One woman said in our check-in after the needles were removed that she went to the “deepest calm” and in a text afterwards said: “I really enjoyed it. I’m having a lot of feelings. I will continue to do ear acupuncture for sure.” Some who need an emotional release receive that during and / or afterwards, which is beautiful.

Another woman was apprehensive about stillness for 20 min but had a relaxing time and felt proud of herself afterwards for doing it. She texted yesterday that I “give (her) a very safe calm feeling.”

Today she texted: “I slept very soundly last night. I usually wake a few times and I was able to sleep all night!!”And-“I’ve had a busy afternoon but I definitely don’t feel angst like I usually do on a Sunday after a holiday…!”

A man who said he has sleep challenges was pleasantly surprised that he felt so calm that he fell asleep for most of our 20 minute sit in stillness.

Hearing the postive results for people always gives me gratitude and a sense of wonder for the cqpacities of our bodies/ souls/ spirits to rest, receive and integrate when they feel safe.

It is such a gift for me to create this safe container for people from different walks of life, invited to curiousity, open-mindedness, love (esp self- love and allowing whatever comes to come)…. experiencing shared humanity in our collective stillness.

PM me with any questions and / or to reserve your spot for this Thursday and/ or Saturday at 1pm.

Some recent experiences:

"I had a great experience with Lorri's 5NP group. She held space for all us brilliantly and the process itself was peaceful and a great reset. Will do again.”
~C Herders

"This was a positive experience all around. Went on Saturday and my sleep has improved for days now! Unreal. I will definitely return."
~Y Feltman

“I really enjoyed the session! It was a very connecting experience, I felt more grounded, more connected to how I was feeling, it was incredibly peaceful, I would love to do it again!”
~S Tanner

"The treatment you offered this afternoon was absolutely magical. I felt awful before you started the ear needling and by the time the first ear was done, I already felt more relaxed and calmer. Even my husband commented on my improved energy shift when I got back home (and he’s not one to notice that sort of thing). I am telling everyone I know about the power of ear needing. Thank you again. 5/5 stars. Amazing.
~S Nichols-Segers

"Went last week. Lorri is very gentle with her needling and the space provided is calm and serene.”
~J Bertetta

"Going into my first session, I was not sure of what to expect at all and was absolutely blown away. Not in a shock to my system kind of way, but in a quiet, subtle settling into my spirit kind of way. Immediately after Lorri put the 2nd or 3rd needle in my ear, I started crying and for the life of me, and I couldn't stop it. And when it was all done, all needles were in , I felt a kind of relaxation, relief and calm I had never felt before. I might be obsessed! LOL. I can't wait to join this and probably every group Lorri ever has now and forever, haha!"

Gentle and insightful encouragement by my friend and site supervisor, Leslie Bley.

Her blog post is a quick read and offers calming and nurturing words of wisdom.

🌿 Ever feel completely out of sync with the season outside your window?

It’s July, everyone’s at the beach… and you’re grieving.

It’s January, the world is hibernating… and you’re bursting with new ideas.

You’re not broken.

You’re just living in your own season.

In Leslie's latest blog, she unpack why your inner rhythm doesn’t follow the calendar and how honoring it can be the kindest thing you do for yourself.
