Maring Higa, AMFT
Bio
I am passionate about helping people release emotional/physical/and spiritual blocks in their body and mind so that they may feel more Joy & Aliveness in their lives.
So many of us are taught that feeling our emotions and expressing our pain serves little purpose. We learn to hold these unexpressed emotions in our body and dampen our full capacity to be alive.
I pull from my 17 years of experience of being in private practice as an Acupuncturist specializing in working with fertility, pregnancy, and post partum clients. I have seen many transformations happen through attunement to the body and connection to the inner voice.
Witnessing these transformations was why I decided to go back to school to become a Marriage and Family Therapy specializing in Bioenergetic Somatic Therapy. I believe there is a magical alchemy that happens when we include the body in the conversation of healing.
My hope is that one can not only release this burden for themselves but for their past and future ancestral lineage.
