In this week's episode of the Nourished Nervous System podcast, I welcome Marietta Skeen.
Marietta is a Transpersonal and Somatic Psychotherapist, who offers therapy, movement, meditation and energy practices to help folks come into their bodies and feel more grounded, connected and vital.
She received her Masters in Transpersonal Psychology from Naropa University, polyvagal training with Deb Dana and extensive training at the Hartford Family Institute in body centered psychotherapy.
Through her practice of contemplative movement, apprenticeship with a Buddhist monk, and her unique blend of Akashic records and Usui reiki, she weaves offerings that invite people to live with greater aliveness, clarity and ease.
Marietta discusses her journey into this holistic field, touching upon her background in meditation, yoga, and somatic practices.
Key themes include the essence of transpersonal and somatic psychotherapy, inner and outer witnessing, and nervous system regulation through polyvagal theory.
The conversation further delves into recollective meditation, authentic movement, and their benefits for mental well-being.
Marietta also breaks down common myths about therapy, highlighting its importance beyond problem-solving to enhancing human connection, and shares practical steps for self-care and mental health improvement.
This episode serves as a rich resource for those intrigued by alternative therapeutic methods and personal growth.
