"To touch can be to give life." Michelangelo

Neuro Affective Touch, created by Dr. Aline LaPierre, is the therapeutic use of touch as a bridge to body-mind Integration. Our early experiences of touch lay the groundwork for our relational life. An attuned, caring touch is of the greatest importance to our brain’s development and emotional and cognitive maturation. This practice addresses trauma-based, unconscious emotional responses that cannot be reached through talk therapy or bodywork alone, establishing an integrated somatic foundation from which clients can build a stable, self-aware identity. I have completed my foundations training in this modality and am working towards becoming a NAT Practitioner. I offer 60-90 minute Neoro Affective Touch sessions.
