Organic Intelligence

Organic Intelligence™ (OI) is a positive reinforcement clinical model and theoretical framework to promote human empowerment, resiliency, and compassion. A descendant of somatic/body-based therapies, OI integrates psychobiological science, positive psychology, complex systems theory, with mindfulness, image work, and somatic awareness to restore the felt-sense experience of safety, wellness and wholeness.

Rather than focusing on pathology and trauma, OI helps clients connect to and build on innate resilience and inner resource. OI supports healing and transformation from the nervous system up by interrupting harmful patterns related to stress/survival physiology and redirects attention and energy toward ease and vitality. OI uses image, sensory and somatic tracking, mindfulness, and the free association conversation to help the client integrate previously overwhelming experiences. The OI clinician strategically guides the client’s attention sometimes outward, sometimes inward, to keep the client within appropriate levels of activation and to facilitate emergence of increased systemic coherence – all parts of the self working together in harmony. 

OI clinicians perceive and work with non-verbal information from the client including involuntary movements, micro-expressions, changes in breath and respiratory rate, etc. to help the client to navigate away from chaos/overwhelm and toward increased ease and self-aware enjoyment.

I am an approved session provider for students in the OI Coaching Certification training.
