Frequently Asked Questions
About Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery®
What Does a Typical Session Look Like?
No two SMGI® sessions are ever exactly alike. Every session is guided by what your subconscious and nervous system are ready to explore that day.
​
While each experience is unique, here's what you can generally expect:
​
-
Your first session begins with a conversation about your goals and what brought you here. We'll review your questionnaire and prepare your subconscious for the work ahead.
-
​You'll be guided into your subconscious using the unique SMGI® process.
-
Together we'll discover what your subconscious is ready to reveal, uncover patterns, clear obstacles, and reconnect you with the inner resources needed for healing and lasting change.
-
Before we finish, we'll check in about your experience and discuss any insights or next steps.

Who Is The Ideal SMGI® Client?
The ideal SMGI® client doesn't need to have everything figured out. They simply need to be open to a different approach to healing.
​
Many of my clients have tried everything they know to try-from traditional therapy to other healing modalities-but still feel like something deeper is keeping them stuck. While those approaches can be incredibly valuable, they don't always address what is being held in the subconscious and nervous system.
​
SMGI® may be a good fit for you if you:
-
Feel stuck in repeating emotional or behavioral patterns.
-
Struggle with anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, or chronic pain.
-
Want to get to the root cause rather than simply manage symptoms.
-
Are willing to actively participate in your healing journey.
-
Are curious about what your subconscious and nervous system may be holding onto.​
​
You don't need all the answers before you begin. Your subconscious already knows the next step.
Together, we'll help you access it.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Here's the answer....
How Does Trauma Get Buried in the Subconscious?
There are many factors, but trauma, life events or even social and familial stigmas are just a few reasons these answers get tucked away in our subconscious mind.
There are 4 general ways trauma comes to us.
DIRECT EXPERIENCE:
Any experience that was perceived as overwhelmingly dangerous or life threatening from conception forward where we were helpless to make it stop.
EMPATHETIC ABSORTION:
Feeling unsafe and chaotic emotions and energies from those you are close to and rely upon for survival, nurturing and a loving bond. Usually parents or parent figures. Typically the younger we are when experiencing this imbalance, the more difficult it is to understand what is our emotions and energies and what is theirs.
ANCESTRAL INHERITANCE:
We are all born with inherited information. How does a baby chick know how to peck it's way out of an egg? Or a new born baby know how to nurse. It's inherited instincts that we are born with. These inherited instincts can either help or hinder us along the way. Some studies show that our ancestors past psychological issues can in turn become our biological issues. These circumstances can successfully be discovered and healed with SMGI®.
SOUL'S HISTORY:
Your soul has past lives and a history, and that history can affect how you live the life you are experiencing now. This means you may have been born with unfinished business that can potentially be healed in your current existence if you choose to do so. Call it Karma or negative past life exploits, these previous adventures can cause trauma and overwhelm in your current existence.
How will I connect to my subconscious mind?
Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery® helps you access your subconscious mind through a unique mind-body approach. By working with your subconscious, you can reconnect with your inner wisdom, intuition, and the answers that already exist within you. Together, we'll work with the deeper patterns that may be contributing to the challenges you're experiencing today.
Will I remember what happened during my session?
Everyone's experience is a little different. You'll remember what's most beneficial for you to remember. The beauty of this work is that you don't have to recall every detail to experience the benefits of SMGI®. The real measure of your session isn't how much you remember. It's the changes you begin to notice afterward.
