Between election anxiety and holiday stress, come get some guided deep relaxation and resourcing to build up your resilience, improve emotional regulation, sleep, and focus. I’ll be teaching therapeutic skills and daily practices for moving out of fight/flight/freeze/fawn mode so you can access wise mind, grounding, choice, and connection in the midst of the collective stress we’re moving through. I take most insurance plans or private pay $150 for the whole series.

Watercolor and Meditation Therapy Group for Anxiety
This is a 4 week group for adults who are struggling with anxiety to learn and practice different forms of meditation in a group setting.
This group will accept Medicaid, Quartz, GHC, Dean and other insurance plans. The cost for private pay is $150 for all 4 sessions.
I will facilitate a guided embodied mindfulness practice followed by watercolor painting as a form of meditation. Getting out of the mind and the suffering it creates, and into the sensual experience of the present moment is a daily practice to reduce anxiety and open ourselves to more presence, connection, purpose, and aliveness.
Email me at ali@medicinefortheheart.com to sign up or with any questions. Limited space is available.

Inner Space Astrology Group
In this 4 week series, we will co-create a therapeutic, trauma informed container to dive deeper into our inner world for the sake of greater alignment with our highest purpose and deeper relationality within and without.
I will be recording and sending you a birth chart reading prior to the beginning of the group. If you've already had a birth chart reading with me, the reading will focus on current transits or explore compatibility within significant relationships in your life.
Through reflections on the symbolic language of Western astrology, the current planetary transits and celestial cycles, writing prompts, and small and large group compassionate witnessing we will explore the gifts and shadows of our birth charts.
Together we will create a container for authenticity, growth, transformation and connection. This offering will incorporate aspects of ritual, body based resilience building practices, and guided meditation. The theoretical orientation for this group honors and draws from many knowledge lineages, including Indigenous and Africana psychologies, inner parts work, attachment theory, archetypal psychology, trauma and resilience.
I will be drawing upon many years of experience with group facilitation, ten years of practicing psychotherapy for individuals and families, and 17 years of deep study and practice in astrology and reading birth charts.
The price for the group is $250 and includes a personalized birth chart reading. I offer payment plans and invite you to reach out to me if the cost presents a financial barrier for you to participate. This group is private pay only.
