I've been seeing Bri regularly since September 2025. I found Bri because I was interested in learning about embodiment and trauma resolution. I didn't know that the work I would be doing with Bri would be as profound as it is. I still find it challenging to explain her work as well as the effects it has on me, but I cannot deny the subtle and profound changes in my body and Self since working with Bri. My daughter often comments on how happy and smiling I am after our sessions. My sessions typically feel like a relief and empowering.

My primary intention was to learn about the Alchemical Alignment work she facilitates and to process violent experiences, crippling pain, and holding patterns I found myself in as a consequence of events I've experienced from childhood and into adulthood. Those moments were extremely traumatic for me and I had done a lot of work on my development prior to meeting Bri, but I had never encountered the concept of a Somatic Experiencing therapy. I have tried many modalities and approaches to help me process my experiences, from Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Ketamine-Assisted therapy, Mexican and Peruvian Ancestral Ceremonial Medicines, Body Work, Energetic Work, and Classical Five-Element Acupuncture.

Bri is the only Somatic Experience Practitioner that I've worked with in a therapeutic sense and the first therapist outside of my Acupuncturist that I feel really sees me and meets me where I'm at. I am never forced, gaslit, or manipulated. Initially I was extremely afraid and horrified at the idea of possibly reexperiencing sensations in my body while in a sober state but Bri assured me that in our sessions, healing doesn’t mean re-experiencing those sensations or the trauma. It was a misconception I had— that in order for me to heal, I needed to relive those moments to process and let go. Sometimes it can happen like that and sometimes it doesn't even come up or happen in the way that I thought it would. That has been a relief! Sometimes I feel like I'm strong but sometimes something can come up that makes me more sensitive, vulnerable and exposed. Her office, space and presence have always felt safe, and she always helps me move through the things that arise in our sessions.

Bri is a highly experienced therapist, teacher and human. I am grateful to have her on my team and look forward to learning more about myself and continuing to feeling stronger and empowered through our sessions. Thank you Bri
