Core Foundations: Where We Begin

What Is Core Foundations?

Beginning any kind of therapeutic work can be a big decision. It can be difficult to know whether an approach will feel helpful, whether you feel comfortable with a practitioner, or even what to expect from the work after a single session. Core Foundations is designed to give you the time and space to explore those questions before deciding what comes next. This three-session introduction is an opportunity to experience Core Energetics firsthand and get a feel for whether somatic work is a good fit for you. There is no expectation that you need to commit to long-term work when you begin.

What Happens in the Three Sessions?

Core Foundations is a minimum of three individual sessions. During these sessions, we’ll begin exploring your mind-body connection while you get a sense of how I work and what this approach has to offer.

  • In the first, I get to know you, your background, and what you're looking for in more depth. We then set some short-term and long-term goals together.

  • In the next two, we explore whatever you've brought in, so you get a real feel for the somatic practice and for how I hold the space. It gives you an opportunity to ask questions, notice what resonates (and what doesn’t), and determine whether this approach feels like something you would like to continue exploring.

What You'll Know By the End

By the end, you'll know what this work actually feels like in your body, and you'll know whether it's for you. From here, some people continue one-on-one, and some go on to join a group. Core Foundations gives us an opportunity to explore these possibilities together rather than needing to know the answer from the beginning.

  • "As someone who was unsure about therapy all together, Core Energetics has truly opened my eyes to the ways in which our body & mind are connected. To be able to understand and move energy is a powerful thing! Caroline is so patient, kind, and comfortable. I did not think I would be able to share more than ‘I’m fine’ when asked. She is so intentional in her listening and though she pushes in ways that have helped me grow, it’s always been in a way that I have control of the pace! Cannot say enough great things about Caroline & Core Energetics."

    —K.H.

She is professional and personable which is hard to find both of in a therapist. She is accommodating with scheduling and her space is very comforting and inviting!

  • “I’ve been seeing Caroline for over 8 months now. She has helped me get through some very tough times in my life. My previous experiences with counseling have been catastrophic. Caroline is nonjudgemental and very patient with my healing. The core energetic and somatic method is almost magical. I have had pain that increases with challenges and frustration for over 10 years. Caroline helped me search inside and find what is bothering me. I work through it physically. I always leave my sessions in less pain.”

    —M.J.

  • “I am so grateful to Caroline for the endless ways she provided skillful support for an entire year for Next Generation Core Somatic Training. The students felt held by her compassionate listening, wisdom, and guidance, and the faculty knew she had their backs. She led high spirited warmups, facilitated people through challenging transitions, helped students get a handle on the theory, stepped in to provide examples, and created a safe, confidential space that allowed people to do the deep transformational work they came to do. Interning for Core Energetics trainings is not for the faint of heart, and Caroline stepped up to the challenge.”
