Embody Presence:
Breema & the Clinical Relationship

Nurture your own vitality as a clinician while simultaneously benefitting your client. Learn tools to feel energized rather than drained at the end of every day. Explore holistic approaches to healing that center on presence, acceptance, mindfulness and body-mind connection. 

Breema’s body-centered, holistic approach to being present can be practiced in the midst of daily life and in all aspects of relationships. Workshops and groups offer an experiential introduction to self-care practices, principles and tools that nurture aliveness and inclusivity as well as non-judgment, harmony and well-being.

Trained in Gestalt, body-centered and Somatic Therapy at Esalen Institute, body-mind connection is primary in her work. Formerly a program director at the New Bridge Foundation’s residential substance abuse treatment program in Berkeley CA, Angela incorporated the principles and practice of Breema into her treatment curriculum with great success, working primarily with veterans, formerly incarceratedmen and women, and clients with co-occurring mental health issues.

Currently she is a group facilitator at Bayside Marin and maintains a private practice where Breema is foundational to her work with both clinicians and clients.
