Somatic IFS practice

A space to feel, heal, and understand yourself more deeply.

At the core of what causes dissatisfaction in our lives is often a young part of us frozen in time, holding a painful belief about itself or the world.

You could think of our work together as a treasure hunt. We’ll use your pain points in life as breadcrumbs to find these young parts, and bring them back home. Over time, you will experience more freedom, empowerment and joy.

About me

Anita

I have been offering 1:1 IFS sessions professionally since the Spring of 2023. I am an IFS-informed practitioner trained by IFSCA. I have also completed many courses with the Art of Accomplishment since 2020 (including two year-long programmes).

Thus far, I have facilitated almost 900 hours of sessions.

I view doing my own inner work as essential for holding space for others, so I take this very seriously; receiving weekly IFS therapy, group consults, peer coaching, meditative dance practice, year-long programmes with the Art of Accomplishment (Joe Hudson) and attending silent meditation retreats.

How does it work?

IFS (Internal Family Systems) sessions are a bit different from talk therapy or regular coaching. Instead of conversing most of the session, I will invite you to turn inwards to notice emotions, body sensations, thoughts and/or internal visual imagery and share what comes up.

From there, a moment from your past may surface that’s holding a difficult emotion or belief; frozen, because either it wasn’t witnessed or the emotional arc couldn’t complete.

In these sessions, we offer the witnessing and completion that was needed. Once this happens, the pattern either dissolves completely or a new layer surfaces to be witnessed. My role is to help you stay connected to your own wisdom and follow this organic process.

Testimonials

(Please note, these sessions used to be called self-love coaching)

“anita is one of the best facilitators i have worked with. she made it easy to trust her process so i could focus on what was going on inside of me. i was grateful to have her help in guiding my attention, and especially her use of breathwork. months later i still think back to what she helped me discover in our sessions and use it for making decisions in life” — Mycelium Mage

“After following Anita’s journey into self-love and nervous system regulation for a while now, I finally had the opportunity to experience what she’s learned, and it was really, really nice. Going into it I was pretty jittery and didn’t know what to expect, but she held such a warm space and a kind presence and it helped me understand what she’s moving towards. I left the session feeling much more in tune with my body, and what it meant to love myself, and to use the breath and my feelings to take me deeper into that experience. I’ve been continuing to use what I learned in that session since, practicing box breathing and making space for my feelings and showing them affection.” — Anansi

“Anita has a really special energy. She is so warm, loving, attentive, intelligent, and clearly passionate about this work. I felt very held and cared for in our session, in which she blended IFS therapy, breathwork, and light touch into her own unique format. I think she’s a perfect fit for healing work.” - Jane Miller

“There’s a story that some of us who have met Anita tell others: when you are speaking with her it feels like she will listen and accept anything and everything you have to say. It’s something you can’t force or fake. Her countenance, persence, and empathy gives you permission and space to feel into where you are right now. Her self-love coaching sessions is the epitome of this because she is there with you to inquire where you are and allow whatever needs to pass through, pass through you. I no longer have to be scared or lost in discovering things about myself anymore, knowing Anita will be there when I need her to be.” — Minnow Park

just had a self-love session with @neats29! historically i've found it much easier to love others than myself, and it was such a blessing to have her guidance in accessing more self-love. there's always more love! if that calls to you, i recommend DM'ing her for a session!

review of my somatic self-love coaching with 
@neats29 :It was psychoactive. Anita quickly set the stage and got me out of my head (impressive!). We then identified 3 parts of myself in different areas of my body: a toddler, an 8 year-old and an awkward teen. I talked to them and listened to them and told them how old I was and that I could take care of us now. It was beautiful. I cried, I writhed and at one point I’m pretty sure I accessed the jhanas (bonus!). Anita’s approach was gentle and insightful and I recommend her 100%.

i had an incredible self-love session with @neats29 earlier today the conclusion of which was, hilariously, that i need to be more more of a b*tch i’ve felt such calm, energy and lightness since the session. the feelings have infused my entire day

@neats29
 just helped me self-love a decade-old energetic blockage into ... uh ... an energetic dam with semi-open spillway gates. I unclenched something thats been stuck for literally 13 years. If you aren't working with her you're missing out.

deeply grateful to @neats29 for the somatic wellbeing / self-love session we had this morning. our session ended up being very IFS-like, and i was really able to connect with several conflicting parts and help them feel/be seen and known more than i had before.

today I had the pleasure of trying a somatic self-love session from @neats29 and it was awesome ✨ The coolest thing was that I was able to connect with familiar tensions in my body, de-label them and investigate them with fresh eyes. I'd highly recommend it!

I just did a somatic session with @neats29 and there's plenty say about her facilitation and attentive presence, but what I'm actually going to say is Apparently it's time to smoke some n,n. Not now-immediately, but that's the next step in this healing journey she helped with

I was one of the beneficiaries of this...feelin' floaty after Anita's awesome session, highly recommend!

I recently did a self healing session with @neats29 and I  finally stopped to listen to my body without immediately veto-ing it with my mind (because what would it implicate if I just let the message reverberate?)

i just got off a self-love coaching session w @neats29, with the intention of being able to tap into the Love within me even while sober and my god it was 2 hours of rediscovering my parts, talking to my younger self, expressing gratitude to my body, and hugging myself again

A session with someone like @neats29
 is usually more effective than shadow work because a lot of shadow stuff releases naturally if you feel sufficiently loved and safe there's a sense in which some of what we term shadow work is trying to jump directly to the end

it was such a lovely blend of IFS, somatic work, and  holding space. i noticed several junctures where your question or comment helped to remind me i am fully safe and can fully surrender
Benjamin Haynes

The session: what a joy! I think you strike a very good balance of facilitating an experience without leading me anywhere in particular, allow me to see what arises for me. I really enjoyed your particular brand of breathwork, somatic meditation and IFS. Expect to see me again 🙂

Anita's session have given me a new model for how to approach inner-work, and how to support myself through the day. She has a deeply kind, restful presence, and the focus on reaching stillness allows me to go deep and really focus on what my body is needing (rather than going in with a 'fixing' mindset)
