Organic Intelligence Coaching
Support for your Post Trauma Growth Trajectory
Empowerment | Compassion | Resilience
What is Organic Intelligence®?
Organic Intelligence® (OI) is a unique clinical theory and protocol based on the new science of network systems, clinical psychology, contemplative practice, and neuroscience. OI coaching attunes to your physiology's unique self-healing impulses to ease the way for greater well-being and resiliency, while resolving the devastating effects of stress and trauma. With genuine human compassion and positive reinforcement, your Post Trauma Growth journey will lead you to states of being that are organizing, empowering, and enlivening. In OI, we work directly with your neurobiology and your environment to facilitate a gentle integration of the resources inherent within you.
Learn about the Initial Conditions that will support your Trauma Safe™️ processOur sessions begin with what is referred to as the Free Association Conversation, where we gently, subtly, and playfully connect with the naturally arising thoughts, feelings, images, sensations, movement patterns and resources that are arising in the present moment. In OI, we relate to these channels of awareness as ISOMA, (Image, Sensation, Orientation, Meaning, and Affect) and part of your coaching experience will include guidance toward greater awareness of the positive self-organizing impulses organically arising from your physiology so you can integrate the nuanced support being offered within and around you.

Your biology is designed to shift attention between your internal and external perceptions, but this natural rhythm can be altered due adverse experiences. Orientation is a foundational practice to resync this supportive oscillatory impulse and it is experienced by simply allowing your senses to connect to the environment. This process allows your neurobiology to receive the necessary feedback from the environment to map itself in the here-and-now, which is pivotal for the process of increasing your capacity for processing and biological organization.
Orientation to Pleasure is connecting to the environment through your senses and increasing awareness toward that which brings you a sense of wholesome pleasure (not too intense, non intoxicant related, and non addictive). The Post Trauma Growth journey helps you learn how to notice the subtle shifts that indicate enjoyment for you so that you can stabilize the enjoyment and easefully shift away from the pull of the "What Wrong Attention." The What's Wrong Attention are habits of attention and biases that keep you "stuck" experiencing negative feedback loops of disruptive associations of thoughts, images, feelings, or physical sensations. To help counter the strong pull of the WWA, I encourage you with the main OI mantra...

The Job is Enjoyment.
"We heal - personally and professionally - not by dredging up the past, not through ‘the window of tolerance,’ nor pain. We heal in the here and now, through attuned relationship, support and kindness. When our biology enters the phase of auto-organization, symptoms are relieved, self-efficacy emerges, and one’s post-trauma growth journey takes wings." — Steve Hoskinson, founder of Organic Intelligence
Who Benefits from Organic Intelligence Sessions?
- People who want to grow their capacity for more compassion, enjoyment, self-awareness, and empowerment
- Those who are contemplating or amidst a significant life transition (work, home, relationship, expecting parents) and seeking clarity around routines and what really matters
- Activists and helping professionals who want to learn regulation and resilience skills so they can help others who may be on the edge of burn out, without burning out themselves
- People that want to experience more balance and rhythmicity instead of being stuck in chronic stress cycles
- OI is for Post-Trauma Growth – and is not for people who are in current, acute crisis, or who are disabled by trauma or mental health issues. OI coaching can be an adjunct support with the individual support your receive from mental health therapy. OI sessions with me do not include psychological assessments and diagnoses, and I do not bill insurance.
