My Services

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed or anxious?

Are you challenged by one or more of these 

  • physical pain
  • emotional distress
  • anxiety 
  • numbness
  • post traumatic stress

Have you tried traditional talk therapy but still suffer from distressing symptoms?

Somatic Experiencing®, HeartMath, and MindBody therapy might enable you to find greater peace, ease and steadiness. 

Interventions drawn from these modalities have proven helpful in reducing nervous system dysregulation, helping to overcome the effects of childhood and shock trauma.

Individual Sessions

If you're in need of some support and collaboration in finding ease in your life, perhaps I can help. 

Individual client sessions are tailored to your personal needs and interests. One-on-one work can be especially beneficial when grappling with anxiety, post traumatic stress (PTS), complex trauma or depression.

For some, individual sessions offer the best opportunity to learn mindfulness meditation in a safe, supportive, private setting at a convenient time.

The following can support healing in their own right, or be helpful adjuncts to talk therapy:

Through these practices, you can learn to

  • Manage disturbing emotions
  • Stay in the present moment without obsessing over the past or worrying about the future
  • Unlock stress and trauma stored in the body
  • Become more self-accepting and self-compassionate
  • Enhance your sense of well-being
  • Change attitudes that keep you stuck
  • Rewire your brain

To learn more, please see Individual Sessions and visit Understanding Trauma and Chronic Stress.

Not sure where to start? Set up a free 15-minute phone consultation.

Individual hour-long sessions include modern research-based techniques combined with techniques developed and honed by the ancients. As personal growth and change is greatly enhanced by techniques that can be applied between sessions, suggested at-home practices are sometimes provided.

Sessions take place in Haddon Township (Southern New Jersey), or through FaceTime or Zoom. To learn more about private or small group instruction, please call 856-854-3155, ext. 109 or email your questions to Lori@OpeningIn.com.

Cost  is $100 per meeting.

The services offered are not medical treatment or psychological therapy, and are not performed by a medical professional. Please consult with your doctor or therapist to determine if mindfulness, MindBody Therapy, NARM or Somatic Experiencing® is right for you.

Courses

My first mindfulness meditation course twenty three years ago set me on a healing journey that I never imagined. Though I initially fretted about the cost, I later found that the benefits were priceless. Like me, I’ve heard others say that they’d never want to go back to how they felt before they started meditating.

Since my first class, I’ve taught the practice to hundreds in the Delaware Valley, allowing me to witness numerous participants undergo remarkable change. Mindfulness has improved the quality of life for many people around the world and throughout history. Are you ready to find out what it can it do for you?

As mindfulness has increased in popularity, you can find an abundance of books and articles about the practice. But without the structure of a class, the guidance of a trained, experienced professional and the classroom camaraderie, it’s hard to maintain a steady practice.

For more information on upcoming opportunities for group instruction and practice, please visit Mindfulness Meditation and other courses.
