“I immediately found Inner Relationship Focusing deeply helpful in working with my clients to begin to access previously blocked parts. It has made my work much more rich and helped by grow so much, both personally and professionally.”
— Elisabeth, LMFT in private practice
“It’s not a way through a manual. A lot of forms of self help can feel like a step by step manual you are taught to follow. It gets super logical - but this is so relational that you don’t need to know therapy to do this.”
— Luis Mojica
“I was amazed by how quickly the self-sabotaging pattern that had kept me stuck for years began to unwind through this 6-week course. Somatic IRF not only addressed what I came in with—it gave me a tool I’ll carry forward for life. As an executive leadership coach, I’ve also started integrating it into my own work with clients, and the results have been powerful.”
— Alison Deutsch
“I hear your voice so often when I am working with clients and my clients are benefiting from my knowledge of IRF (with somatics, EMDR and parts work). It was just the missing piece I needed. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with the world.”
— Christine Monroe, Marriage and Family Therapist
