Mindfulness Centered Therapies has its roots in Hakomi. Hakomi is an experiential psychotherapy that combines the Eastern traditions of mindfulness and nonviolence with a unique, highly effective Western methodology. It is also a body-centered psychotherapy. The body’s structures and habitual patterns become a powerful doorway to unconscious core material (extreme beliefs), which shape our lives, relationships, and self-image. The Hakomi method quickly accesses this core material, allowing it to emerge safely into consciousness.

Once conscious these extreme beliefs can be re-evaluated, and where appropriate, powerfully transformed. New dimensions of awareness emerge and are integrated, helping the individual build a more satisfying and effective life. Loving presence and the healing relationship are central to Hakomi. The process creates an exquisite level of sensitivity and attunement between therapist and client, developing a deep since of safely and security.
