I really came into this course with no agenda whatsoever, aware that this mode of delivery of SSP was very different from my training and application, eager to explore this alternative. I approached the experience with no set expectations, but open to whatever may unfold for me. I found the course material fascinating, informative and thought provoking; a wonderful way to add breadth and depth to the weekly listening, supporting the invitation to undertake a personal journey of discovery and growth. I was not disappointed in any way; what unfolded for me was delightful, surprising and enlightening. I found the group format supportive, while Paula’s calm, grounded presence created a sense of safety and connection. The main gain for me has been my eagerness to reach and search for social connection, instead of my previous tendency to avoid, or be anxious about it. This has gone hand in hand with an acceptance that I can accept who I am in the world, without always focusing on my perceived shortcomings. This has been quite a relief at the age of 50+! I would definitely recommend this journey with Paula. I believe she has created something quite unique, heartfelt, and potentially life changing. I feel like my eyes have opened to new possibilities!

One of my hopes and intentions for being a part of this experience was to overcome discomfort I've had with intimacy as well as other challenges with belonging within group settings. I was so amazed at how safe the space felt for me and how deep I was able to go into the process and during our time together, even connecting with others in the group across our differences. My participation in the group gifted me with such a rich experience that I find it difficult to articulate with words just how healing and meaningful it was for me.

I found myself making connections more easily with my life experiences to better understand all that's shaped who I am currently, expanding my capacity to be kind to my inner child and able to recognize when it is her who is showing up as compared to my adult self (or other selves), and communicating my needs in an assertive and empowered way with very little hesitation. It was like meeting and getting comfortable with a new version of myself, a more victorious one.

I will carry with me and cherish this experience and the opportunity to be a part of it as I explore all the parts of me I have yet to discover. I am so proud of the version of me that this program has supported me in becoming.

Paula offers a beautiful space of exploration, connection, containments and wisdom as one takes the embodied journey using SSP. I not only grew in my own skills to offer and lead but also got to nourish my own being. It’s been a beautiful experience filled with kindness, wisdom and support to stay connected to my authentic and whole self.

As a person who has done a lot of healing work through the decades using various modalities in various settings and groups, I was not expected to be surprised by the experiences that arose in this transformational process in Paula's community for healing through sound. The group's relational safety combined with the alchemy catalyzed by sound revealed unresolved material in a contained way. I experienced fast moving images, emotions and sensations that resolved quickly and didn't leave me overwhelmed. I landed in a very integrated place, feeling safer in relationships, and a more authentic version of myself.

Paula has a gentle, supportive, intuitive way of holding space for participants to explore and practice attuning to the messages of their body and respond effectively. This course felt like an unfolding. It allowed me to hone my resiliency skills, clear away the noise that gets in the way of yielding into the present moment, and illuminated clarity for my path. As a fellow therapist, I was grateful for a healing space that didn't feel like I got too involved in other people's process, but rather could focus on my own journey with the group energy fortifying the container. I would recommend this course to anyone seeking a shift towards receptivity and the embodied feminine.
