Welcome to Befriending Our Bodies
Befriending Our Bodies is a woman-owned counseling practice that has been helping people in middle Tennessee heal since 2018. We offer services with a licensed therapist for one-on-one work through a clinical and holistic lens.
Body Work/Somatic Therapy
Body Work, or somatic therapy, is a holistic approach to healing that focuses on the mind-body connection to address psychological issues. It acknowledges the ways in which emotional experiences are stored in the body and aims to release tension and trauma through physical techniques such as breathwork, movement, touch, and mindfulness.
Yoga
Yoga is a love story through movement in our body. From gentle movements that marry the breath and the body to intentionally connecting with the breath, yoga is a staple of self-care. Providing both groups and individual sessions, begin the journey of befriending yourself.
Individual Therapy
Individual Therapy consists of one-on-one conversations helping you move through any hindrances. Whether it is difficulty adjusting to life’s turns, depression, anxiety, addiction or something else, individual therapy can help.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "lifeforce energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. Reiki is a powerful healing art that can transform your physical, emotional, and spiritual body.
