Layered Awareness
A place to reconnect with yourself through movement & awareness.
I offer one-on-one online sessions that help you discover more of yourself through awareness, movement and reflective inquiry.
"I believe that, at our core, we all long to feel seen, heard and valued for who we are."
- Heidi Naarits, GCFP
My work is rooted in a simple belief:
Awareness is our ability to notice.
Through movement, reflective inquiry and your own felt experience, I guide you in noticing more of your patterns in movement, thinking, sensing and feeling. Together, these patterns shape the image you hold of yourself.
Rather than offering answers, I create space for self-discovery so you can learn to become your own teacher.
There is a difference between knowing and being able to be present for what is actually happening
So many of us reach a point where we feel that despite having seemingly read all the books, attended the workshops, explored different approaches to personal growth and gained valuable insight into ourselves, we are still repeating the same patterns.
How much we KNOW almost doesn’t seem to make much of a difference at all.
This is where learning to notice and be present with what is actually taking place within your experience can make a difference.
What I mean by “awareness”
When I speak about awareness, I am referring to the ability to simply notice what is happening as it is happening and doing so without judgment. Our emotions are always reflected in our posture, in how we move. We all have patterns that are interwoven into everything we do.
It’s why it makes a difference when you notice:
the tension you didn't realize you were holding in your jaw as you speak
the habit of folding yourself each time you think you are not enough
the assumptions about what you can and cannot do shaping your choices about what actions you take
the way you move, think, feel and sense yourself
As your awareness grows, you begin to make distinctions. You notice what supports you and what doesn't.
And in those distinctions, new choices can begin to emerge.
Why Movement Matters
We often think of ourselves as separate parts: thoughts, feelings, sensations and actions. Yet in lived experience, they are deeply connected.
Movement offers an opportunity to notice ourselves in action.
As you learn to notice yourself in movement, you may begin to notice patterns that extend beyond movement itself. Habits of effort. Ways of responding. Assumptions you did not realize you were holding as your truths.
The invitation is not to make meaning of what you notice, but to simply become curious about it.
Over time, these observations can lead to new distinctions, clearer understanding and the discovery of options that may not have been visible before.
