Self Actualization Session

Service Description

With a Masters in Clinical Social Work from Boston College and nearly 1000 hours of Yoga Teacher Training in the Bikram/Gosh lineage, Simona Alladio brings a well-rounded perspective to your healing container. Sessions last 90 minutes and begin with meditation, the basis of which is grounded in Simona’s studies with Yogananda’s Self-Realization Fellowship and IPSALU’s Tantra Kriya Yoga. We flow from meditation into a collaborative Compassionate Communication (NVC) practice for self-reflection, where we identify feelings and needs that are presenting in the client’s current experience. From there, we will explore different mediums to work with what’s alive— be it through talk therapy, deeper NVC processing, mirror work, color therapy, or EFT tapping. We will close each session with a short yoga asana practice, targeting specific areas in the body which correlate to the work we’ve done. Additionally, clients may opt to relax on the crystal biomat and receive a sound healing session with the crystal bowls, medicine drum, and koshi chimes combined with healing song, prayer, and mantra to integrate the pieces that came up during the session. Homework will be offered including daily meditation practice, a self-reflective NVC process, and yoga asana prescriptions. For those who would like a more spiritually-based container, Simona weaves together the wisdom from the North and the South by sharing the wisdom she’s received from studying the Hawaiian Moon Calendar and the Quechua language from the Andes Mountains in Peru. Specifically, clients may receive guidance around building a manifestation altar from the Andean tradition or cultivating a daily moon practice based on wisdom from the Hawaiian Moon Calendar, in order to support them in making life changes or reaching goals.
