Growth doesn’t always happen in a straight line — sometimes, it happens through stillness, flow, or even gentle curiosity.

Riley helps clients explore personal growth through movement-based therapy, guiding them to notice how emotions, tension, and energy live in the body. In this process, new insights and balance naturally emerge.

Her sessions are collaborative and nurturing — a space to rediscover safety, presence, and self-trust through mindful motion.

🌿 Meet Riley at Mind Body Connections and learn how movement can support your healing journey.

Meet Riley Cornacchini, R-DMT, a Dance/Movement Therapist passionate about helping people reconnect with their inner wisdom through the body.

Riley believes that healing isn’t just something we think about — it’s something we feel and move through. Her sessions invite you to slow down, listen inward, and explore how your body carries emotion, story, and possibility.

With curiosity and compassion, she supports clients in discovering movement as a tool for emotional regulation, self-understanding, and authentic expression.

Your body has wisdom even if you’ve been taught to ignore it.

Often, symptoms like anxiety, tension, or exhaustion aren’t random. They’re signals from your body-mind system, letting you know that something deeper needs care. In therapy, we help clients slow down, listen, and reconnect with this inner wisdom.

🌿 When you trust your body-mind wisdom:
You can release old pain that isn’t serving you.
You begin to see patterns you didn’t realize were shaping your life.
You open space for new, healthier ways of being.

Healing isn’t about forcing yourself into change—it’s about honoring the wisdom already inside you.
✨ Ara specializes in helping clients access this deeper knowing through Internal Family Systems and somatic therapy.

💡 Healing doesn’t happen in just one direction.

At MB Connections, we know that trauma and pain affect both the mind and the body. That’s why our therapists—like Ara Lucia Ashburne, LCPC work with both.
🌀 From the bottom up: by tuning into the body’s sensations, memories, and signals, we uncover stored trauma that talking alone might not reach.
🌀 From the top down: by working with emotions, thoughts, and self-compassion, we bring clarity and integration.

When these two approaches meet, healing becomes more complete. Instead of feeling like you’re managing symptoms in one area while ignoring another, your whole self is involved in the process.
✨ Healing is layered, and it’s possible.

Anxiety. Depression. Anger. Instead of seeing these as weaknesses, Ara helps clients reframe them as messengers. Each one carries information about what your system needs.

When we stop silencing symptoms and start listening, we gain the chance to heal at the source. What feels like a problem becomes a guide toward wholeness.

Coping skills help you get through the day, but they don’t always get to the root. Ara’s work goes deeper, helping clients transform pain instead of just managing it.

Through IFS and somatic approaches, she guides people to heal old wounds and build new, healthier patterns. The goal isn’t just survival, it’s living with more wholeness, freedom, and resilience.

IFS teaches us that inside each of us is a calm, wise Self—capable of guiding healing. But trauma can make it hard to hear that voice.

Ara helps clients reconnect with this Self so they can respond to pain with clarity instead of being swept away by fear or overwhelm. This isn’t about ignoring pain—it’s about changing your relationship to it.
