Healing through Embodiment & Creative Expression

Robin Rene Burgin | Somatic Experiencing™ & Expressive Arts

I believe healing comes from being with your lived experiences, rather than controlling or managing it all.

There is no one size fits all approach to healing — together we will craft a journey unique to your lived experience.

The foundation of my work

Simply Noticing

We gently bring awareness to the sensations within your body. This might be a tightness in your chest, a tingling in your hands, a feeling of warmth, or any other internal experiences.

Being Creatively Curious

Rather than judging or trying to change these sensations, we explore them with curiosity. We might ask questions like: "What's the quality of that tightness? How does it change when you breathe?" or “Are there images, colors, or movements that want to emerge naturally?”

Integration

Through gentle observation and exploration, your body may naturally release stored energy or tension. This integration allows for a shift towards greater ease, balance, and an embodied sense of wholeness.

No artistic skills required, only curiosity and a desire to learn more about yourself!

A glimpse into what you can expect in session:

Safe & Collaborative Space: We'll work together in a secure environment where you feel comfortable and in control.(Virtual or In Person)

Mind-Body Exploration: While conversations may occur, sessions often involve gentle exercises to explore physical sensations without judgment.
Your Pace, Your Comfort: You set the speed and intensity of each session, ensuring you feel safe and empowered.
Safety Protocols: I prioritize your well-being and have specific methods to manage any strong emotions or sensations that might arise.
Creative Expression: Beyond exercises, you might be invited to explore your inner world through movement, drawing, or writing, unlocking deeper emotions.

Remember, this is a partnership. Ask questions, express your preferences, and find the rhythm that best supports your healing journey.

What people are saying:

Robin is a compassionate and caring healer, who will be with you every step of the way; supporting you through any revelations that surface from deep-seated stress and/or trauma. She personally created a safe space for me to be completely vulnerable, express raw emotions and speak my truth through not only words, but through the series of drawings I created during the session. This unique modality of the healing arts truly underscores the deep mind-body connection, and I am truly grateful for Robin helping me learn and express through this format how stuck emotions can profoundly affect me mentally, physically and spiritually.

“Guided drawing was a wonderful experience that allowed me to be with myself and express my genuine emotions, feelings, and intuition in the moment. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I really enjoyed it and felt more clear and relaxed after!”

Robin's guided drawing workshop was truly transformative. I learned so much and can't wait to return. Her gentle guidance took us through the entire process, and watching my own drawings emerge was deeply moving. It felt like a hidden creative potential awakened within me with each stroke. Robin's thoughtful explanations and personalized feedback provided valuable insights into both the art and my own personal journey. I left with not only beautiful artwork but also a deeper understanding of myself. This experience is highly recommended, and I see it as a powerful tool for self-care and personal growth. It's a perfect addition to the self-care pamphlet.
