Children, Families, Communities

We offer integrative treatment

Adult services through Children Families and Communities emphasize the foundation of Presence to facilitate healing. We support the use a variety of modalities and teachings to address the issues of pain and suffering.

Presence in Healing

Presence in Healing is an integrated healing art form used for personal growth and healing. It promotes greater awareness, expanded perspective, increased choice and congruent actions. This is holistic wellness. Skilled Presence in Healing practitioners guide and direct healing emotionally, mentally, spiritually, energetically, and physically. This is done through bodywork sessions, coaching and classes. In addition some Presence in Healing teachers are trained and/or licensed in other professions, including health allied fields.

Who might want to explore Presence in Healing?
It is common for many of us to have either emotional or physical symptoms of discomfort and not really understand what is causing our pain. We make good guesses, others give us opinions and yet things still don't get completely better. Presence in Healing addresses not only what underlies discomfort, viewing it as an opportunity to learn, but also how to explore and seek support to heal and become well.

The work is especially useful for individuals seeking change, or wanting more health and well-being in their lives. You might want to explore this work if you are experiencing:

chronic illness
immune compromise
depression or anxiety
life transitions
recovery from addiction

A little bit about personal growth...

Presence in Healing guides people towards personal growth. Personal growth means different things to different people. Personal growth is similar to success in that there is a definition, but no one way to describe success. Just like success looks different for everyone, so does personal growth.

Here at CFC we describe personal growth as movement towards self improvement in whatever area of life you choose. Personal growth is the path of holistic healing.

Just like the concept of success, personal growth looks different for everyone.

Personal growth is not about “fixing” yourself or recognizing your weaknesses, though that is often where we start. In addition, personal growth can be interpreted as a healthy balance between doing and being, between holding on and letting go, boundaries between self and other, producing results and experiencing the process, and being in the flow of life and as well as in stillness, while loving the full range of human emotion along the way. In other words….living a loving life of congruence and authenticity to the best of your ability with others. Successful personal growth brings value to your own life, as well as value to the world.

How we get there is where Presence in Healing comes in. Presence in Healing offers a holistic and functional road map to explore personal growth.

And all of this, is also the process of healing.

Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic massage sessions offer an opportunity to release compensation patterns that are no longer useful. Holistic therapeutic massage is based on a strong foundation of wellness through awareness, mindfulness and presence using natural methods and resources. Using movement, breath and posture as a guide, specific techniques and resources optimize what the body does innately—heal.

Meditation

Meditation is an ancient tool for growing Presence. Research supports that meditation decreases stress, increases well-being and provides insight. This is offered in group settings and individually using a variety of meditation modalities. For those just starting out or those wishing to explore beyond their experience, Presence in Healing teachers who steward meditation groups bring their unique blend of integrity, somatic awareness, witnessing and open-heartedness to every experience.

Life and Health Coaching

Coaching provides a guided opportunity to create positive, functional change in your life. The coach assists you to be present, in congruence, and in integrity with yourself and your life. At the heart of coaching is mindfulness. Mindfulness is a mental state brought about by being aware of present time while thoughtfully acknowledging your feelings, thoughts and body sensations. Life coaching helps you bring all aspects or parts of yourself to make choices that create an effective, balanced and fulfilling life. These sessions are offered by phone or online. Some coaches are also Presence in Healing teachers and bring the skills of Presence in Healing to these sessions. These sessions include focus on somatic or body awareness and subtle energy.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy traditionally uses the art of physical medicine to address specific diagnoses and conditions towards more complete daily life function. We primarily support manual therapy, movement re-education, exercise and teaching to assist our clients in reaching their functional goals. We have learned over years of experience that the more informed, involved and aware our clients (and their caregivers) are, the more likely functional change will occur and be sustained. Techniques that are used by our therapists include craniosacral, lymph drainage, visceral manipulation, therapeutic massage, myofascial techniques, sensory processing and integration, waterdance, exercise, movement re-education and functional activity.

Holistic Stress Management Instruction

Holistic Stress Management Instruction classes explore what stress is and holistic mind-body techniques that address the impact of stress physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Classes may be anywhere from one hour to multiple days in length.

The World Health Organization calls stress a global epidemic. In this time of change around the world, no one is immune. The good news is that growing research supports a wide variety of behaviors, activities and skills that when combined with awareness and regular practice serve to diminish the impact of stress on the individual.
