Creative Therapeutics

Creative Therapeutics work is a wholistic approach to healing soul that combines creative expression with mindbody medicine techniques, such as guided imagery, Qi Gong, body awareness, and breathing exercises, to name a few. Also included are attachment style healing methods such as reprogramming core wounds(negative self-beliefs), emotional awareness and regulation, as well as understanding one's own needs and how to fill them in a healthy way.

 

​​Over the years I have used various creative methods to heal Complex-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and can testify to to the immense healing potential for personal transformation by tap rooting into the creative well-spring that each of us lay claim to and were born with.

​​​

I believe everyone of us is wired for creative expression and healing. It's part and parcel of our humanity. If you think you don't have a creative bone in your body, think again. Every bone and cell in your body and every breath you take is infused with Creative Power. It's like the apps on your phone that come preloaded, and you can't get rid of them no matter how hard you try. You can ignore them and forget about them, but they're still there. Creativity is like that. Sometimes we just need to take the time to reload it and begin working with it to get the flow started again. Maybe you think you lost it sometime in childhood or when you grew into a serious adult, but it's still there. It is your birthright and infuses every cell of your being. Claim it. Make space for it. Work with it. Play with it. And I promise you, IT will begin to work on you.​​​

Workshops/Classes

Safe and Sounding: Reclaim Your Voice & Body with Sonic Anatomy

Whole Body Toning to Embody, Enliven and Express Our True Selves

Come experience your voice and body through whole body toning in a safe, playful, and loving environment.  Learn to give yourself a personal sound bath with your own voice.

​

In this class, we are encouraged through curiosity to play with specific tones for different parts of the body to nourish and harmonize our bodies with sound. This is a safe space to allow the parts of ourselves that may have gone unsupported, unheard, and unseen, time to be felt and freed to express in a gentle, playful, loving environment. No singing experience is necessary.

 

By reclaiming our voice from the depths of our being, from every part of our body, we reclaim our inherent power and truth to move through this world as an integrated, sovereign being capable of expressing more truth, love, and compassion for ourselves and others. We set boundaries. We say yes when we mean yes, and no when we mean no. When we reclaim our voice, everything changes.

 

Sonic Anatomy is the heart child of embodied voice leaders Eileen McKusick and Isaac and Thorald Koren. Amy Lynn Couch is certified as a Sonic Anatomy Guide to hold a safe and loving space for all of us to explore and express the parts of ourselves that went unvoiced and unseen throughout our lives. It is also a place where play, curiosity, and generosity towards ourselves and others are encouraged to allow our inner kindergartners a place in the sun.

 

I have been a bodyworker and Natural Therapeutics Specialist for 25 years, Qi Gong practitioner for 30 years, and have used various expressive arts and therapies throughout my life to hold and heal the stuck and fearful places within my own being. I only recently started reclaiming my own voice in 2022 as I started working with the Brothers Koren through their Embodied Voice programs. This has been a game changer for me. I hope it is for you, too.​​

​Empower Your Life and Your Goals

​

Do you feel stuck or bogged down by old, disempowering beliefs about yourself that stop you from moving forward on your goals, dreams, or desires? Do you have a negative voice inside your head that stops you dead in your tracks when you want to move forward in life? Or do you feel completely disconnected from your body or emotions? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this workshop is for you. Empower Your Life combines multiple MindBody Medicine techniques such as Qigong, guided imagery, drawing/journaling, and creative movement, along with belief and thought reprogramming techniques to help you break out of the cycle of self-sabotage and negative self-talk that stops you dead in your tracks when you want to move forward on a goal. These are evidenced based techniques to help lessen stress and overwhelm as well as reprogram limiting beliefs that hold you back from living the life you want to live. 

​

Come if you want to learn how to set a powerful and clear intention or goal you want to accomplish, connect and energize yourself and your actions with the energies of Heaven and Earth, and begin to clear out the negative self-talk that gets in the way of achieving that goal. This workshop will help you envision the life you want to live and begin taking the steps necessary to achieve it. It IS possible. 

Taproot into Your Creative Wisdom

​

Are you a caregiver that forgets to take care of yourself? Or do you find that you are over-worked, stressed out, drained to the bone, and rarely find or make time to give to yourself or your creative life? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this workshop is for you. Give yourself the opportunity to nourish your own body and soul by learning how to access the life sustaining energies of Nature, Spirit, and your own inherent creativity (yes, you are creative whether you believe it or not). Learn how to taproot down into your own personal healing reservoir of images and inner wisdom using Qi Gong guided imagery, art-making, and journaling. Re-ignite your creative life, health, and well-being by connecting deeply to your own Healing Artist Within. Recharge your batteries and rejuvenate your life. No previous art experience necessary-just a sense of child-like wonder. Come share safe and sacred space. No critiquing, interpretation, or analysis will take place here.

​

This workshop weaves together many of the different creative healing methods I used to help heal my own soul from trauma with the intention that it helps others in a similar way. Qi Gong, guided imagery, art making, and journaling all weave together to create a deepening, a taproot, down into your own creative healing reservoir of images. It is designed to encourage empathy with the subtle energies of the Universe that connect us to each other, Nature, and Spirit.
