Simply the Best
"Aline is simply the best at bridging the divide between bodywork and talk! I highly recommend studying with her."
The fastest, safest, most gentle approach
Aline creates a very supportive and safe environment to practice the tools of bodywork techniques and client-centered therapeutic self-directed touch. I am now able to gently assist clients in moving past defenses and projections. This enables them to experience the trust, relaxation, and internalized sense of safety they had never experienced before.
Effectively working with relational trauma
Karen Bauman, MA, NMT, SEPI consider myself incredibly fortunate to learn from Aline. Her knowledge in the field of somatic psychology is vast. Her compassion is palpable. And her ability to help me grasp what she knows and feel what she feels has been a gift — I have no doubt Aline will be known for years to come as a pioneer in integrating bodywork and psychotherapy.
Integration of relational and somatic models
The integration of relational psychodynamic and somatic models makes the work especially useful for most of my clients struggle with: an arrest at one stage or another of their development.
