DESCRIPTION
Rhiannon offers a warm, grounded space where clients can explore the hard and messy parts of being human with compassion, curiosity, and authenticity. Rooted in an attachment-based approach, she pays close attention to relational patterns and supports clients in building deeper self-understanding and connection. She weaves mindfulness, somatic awareness, Hakomi-informed approaches, and parts work into her practice, while offering a neuroaffirming space. She believes healing can include humor, playfulness, and moments of lightness.
