YOU carry the medicine you need within you!
My job is to follow your process so you can find and access this medicine…
A Process Work or Unshaming approach is an inquiry into your own experience that involves uncovering and exploring the lesser-known parts of yourself. Once revealed, these shamed, hidden or disavowed aspects of yourself can allow you to know and BE the wholeness that you already are.
To Connect with Who You Truly Are is to experience peace, joy, and true happiness.
Past relational or emotional trauma that isn’t investigated may also inhibit your ability to experience peace, joy and true happiness, as well as block your knowing of innate wholeness and perfection.
Uninvestigated trauma can effect your health and wellbeing, personal growth, and the ability to have healthy relationships and/or work.
A few examples of experiences related to this are:
You seem to be repeating or re-enacting certain relationship dynamics, situations, or events.
You turn to addictions like drugs, alcohol, food, sex or social media to numb yourself because feelings and other residual effects from your traumas are too painful or anxiety-producing to face.
You get triggered in certain situations and/or with certain people and you can’t understand why.
You feel unworthy, undeserving and/or are often self-critical, judgmental, and self-hating.
You disassociate from yourself and your body.
You hide authentic aspects of yourself to protect against further pain, sadness, hurt or loss.
If you have these experiences or others, please know that there is nothing wrong with you! In fact, these behaviors carry within them the medicine and wisdom you are looking for!
If you’re here on this website, then you’re probably interested in investigating and transforming. That’s great, but know that it’s not necessary in order for you to be whole, perfect and complete. In fact, ‘healing your trauma’ is not even a requirement of Awakening!
However, when you do look at yourself, you can move energy, unwind core beliefs that are disempowering or untrue, dissolve stories, and have profound and life-altering insights about yourself.
Note: It’s quite common within the ‘new age subculture’ to use spiritual teachings or slogans to evade looking deeper within, but transformation does not come from just glossing over uncomfortable truths. This is called Spiritual Bypassing. it’s worth knowing about, and it can definitely inhibit your personal growth!
Keri likes to call herself a post-trauma, ex-therapist!
What does that mean?!
That means she helps you get beyond the limiting identity of a trauma victim or a trauma survivor. It doesn’t mean your trauma doesn’t shape who you are, but it does mean your trauma doesn’t DEFINE who you are. When ‘trauma survivor’ becomes a fixed identity, it gets in the way of your own personal liberation…and the liberation of the collective! (Because they are one in the same.)
Keri offers Transformative & Process-Oriented Energy-Movement & Self-Inquiry sessions to increase awareness, acceptance and Love, question conditioning and reveal hidden aspects of yourself.
Transform the relationship you have to your trauma and Connect with Who You Truly Are.
Online sessions are held over Zoom. In-person sessions with Keri are held on a massage table at a health center on the Kona Side of the Big Island of Hawai'i. You will be guided through a process of somatic awareness, energy-work, self-inquiry, and Unshaming. All sessions are 50 minutes.
To Connect with Who You Truly Are is to realize who or what you are beyond your thoughts, emotions, self-narratives, identity, and personality.
