Hakomi Mindfulness-Centered Somatic Psychotherapy

Hakomi is a gentle yet powerful, experiential, body-centered therapy that integrates mindfulness, somatic awareness, and psychology to support deep, lasting healing. Key features include:

  • Mindfulness-Based: You learn to observe your thoughts, emotions, sensations, and body responses in the present moment with curiosity and compassion.

  • Core Material Work: Identifies and transforms deeply held beliefs about safety, love, belonging, and self-worth that unconsciously shape behaviors, reactions, and relationships.

  • Body-Centered Approach: Uses awareness of posture, gestures, breath, and tension to access unconscious patterns and facilitate natural healing.

  • Trauma-Sensitive & Safe: Creates a supportive environment for exploring difficult emotions and experiences without re-traumatization.

  • Principle-Based: Guided by mindfulness, nonviolence, holism, unity, and organic growth, fostering self-discovery rather than imposed change.

  • Experiential & Insight-Oriented: Combines mindfulness, gentle experiments, and somatic awareness to increase self-understanding, emotional regulation, and personal growth.

  • Integration & Lasting Change: Supports symptom relief, emotional freedom, and a deeper connection to self, relationships, and life purpose.

Hakomi invites you to listen to your body’s wisdom, uncover unconscious patterns, and step into a life of greater clarity, balance, and self-compassion.

What is Hakomi Mindfulness?

Hakomi is a gentle, experiential, and mindfulness-based approach to psychotherapy that supports deep healing through present-moment awareness. Rooted in both Eastern contemplative traditions and Western psychology,

Hakomi recognizes that our core beliefs—often formed early in life—shape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world.

At the heart of Hakomi is mindfulness: a quiet, curious state of attention that allows us to observe thoughts, emotions, sensations, and patterns without judgment. In this state, unconscious beliefs and emotional habits naturally reveal themselves, creating opportunities for insight, healing, and change.

Rather than forcing insight or reliving traumatic experiences, Hakomi works gently with the nervous system. Through mindful inquiry, subtle body awareness, and carefully designed “experiments,” you are supported in discovering what your inner world is organized around—often beliefs related to safety, love, worth, or belonging.

As these patterns come into awareness, they can be met with compassion and new experiences that foster healing and integration.

Hakomi is especially supportive for those navigating trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, grief, or long-standing emotional patterns. This approach honors your pace, your wisdom, and your body as a source of truth. Healing unfolds not through fixing or effort, but through presence, curiosity, and self-compassion.

Hakomi mindfulness invites you into a deeper relationship with yourself—one rooted in awareness, gentleness, and respect—allowing lasting change to emerge from the inside out.
