Our Clinical Philosophy

The Embodied Mind Clinic operates on the principle that chronic pain and distress are often maintained by a feedback loop between the body's physical patterns and the mind's protective stories.

Integrated Treatment Approach

By addressing both physical and psychological dimensions simultaneously in a single session, we facilitate deeper, more lasting change than traditional sequential treatment models.

Our approach provides clients with both somatic release and the psychological skills to integrate that release, creating sustainable improvements in chronic pain, tension, and emotional distress.

The Dual-Practitioner Advantage

Having two specialists in the room creates a unique therapeutic synergy:

Somatic Work (Ayshe): Helps clients access feelings and sensations stored in the body through gentle osteopathic techniques.

Psychological Guidance (Kai): Provides real-time tools to process these experiences, preventing overwhelm and fostering insight.

This collaborative approach accelerates progress by bridging the gap between physical sensation and mental understanding.

The Three-Phase Treatment Process

A clear, structured journey from comprehensive assessment through active treatment to sustainable self-management.

01 Phase

The Somatic Blueprint

Initial Assessment | 90 Minutes

This foundational session creates a personalized, comprehensive map of your unique mind-body system. It provides immediate insight and establishes a clear, targeted path for your healing journey.

The Somatic Architecture (Led by Ayshe)

  • Osteopathic Evaluation: A thorough, hands-on assessment to identify structural imbalances, postural habits, and areas of chronic tension in the musculoskeletal system.
  • Nervous System Mapping: Gentle palpation to map pathways of fascial restriction and assess your autonomic nervous system state. This reveals how stress is physically stored in your body.

The Narrative Framework (Led by Kai)

  • Psychological Intake: A guided conversation using principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to understand the core stories, beliefs, and emotions connected to your symptoms.
  • Behavioral Analysis: We identify key safety behaviors and avoidance strategies your mind has developed, and how these may inadvertently perpetuate the problem.
"Our assessment suggests that chronic tension in your jaw and shoulders (the somatic pattern) is directly linked to a core belief that 'I must always be in control' (the narrative). When you feel overwhelmed at work, this belief triggers a physical bracing response. Our work will be to release this bracing pattern in your body while simultaneously helping you develop a more flexible relationship with the thought of 'losing control.'"
02 Phase
