Somatic Attachment and Developmental repair Sessions

1 on 1, hour sessions to locate, identify and address the deeper causes of your challenges. Early childhood and developmental traumas that occur around our attachment needs can have significant impact on how our brain and bodies develop. Our self image, how we view others and how we relate to the world is largely formed through these early relationship dynamics. Our patterns in relationship to ourselves, others, how we show up in our work and life is built on these early patterns. In these sessions we work to identify these behavioral patterns, locate the root of the pattern in the body and nervous system. I support you in developing an internal capacity to manage and transform these parts of you so you can live a life free of these long term coping strategies to develop an empowered, whole and vibrant sense of self.

Testemonials

“I honestly don’t know where I would be without the work we have done together. Over this past year I’ve accessed a level of vulnerability in my relationships that I would never have believed possible. I’ve been able to rebuild trust in myself and confidence that I have the skills to manage whatever is coming up. I feel more at peace with myself than I ever have before and I attribute a huge part of that to this work.”

K.C., Social Worker

“I now live free from depression as I have both learned how to open with trust to the needs of my parts and know how to support, nourish, and create safe space for them. I feel calm, capable and centered and when vulnerable can soften to return to this space and lean into awareness when the experience is bigger than me or more than I can hold alone at this point in my journey/understanding/ability.”

A.G., Therapist

"Working with Mark was life changing. He taught me how to regulate my nervous system overwhelm. What was most valuable for me was learning how to somatically be in touch with the overwhelmed parts and bring connection and safety back to my own body - acknowledging those parts, empathizing with them, giving them what they need."

M.L., Executive Coach

Your work teaches me how to communicate with parts of myself that I’ve locked away and disowned. You’ve helped me begin to move from treating myself with hatred and disdain to gentleness and understanding. You are a uniquely gifted and graceful healer.

You work with my depression in a way that actually loosens and resolves it. I've never experienced that before you. I don't know how you do it, but even over Zoom you create a temenos, a sacred sanctuary where suffering feels honored and insights grow deeper and deeper. In your work, I see all the mystical theories I read about in school put into actual practice.  In every session, you practice magic- you bless what feels broken and love what feels unlovable— and you teach me to do the same.  The amount of self-forgiveness you’ve helped me discover, the gentle way you’ve led me to care for myself, your humor, your tremendous intellect and understanding of both spiritual and psychological traditions has led me to grow as a person and a practitioner.  As far as relationships go, you’ve brought me depth and insight and helped me take SO MUCH responsibility for myself. As far as work, you’ve encouraged me to take action, to finish and follow through even when it feels scary and impossible, and you’ve helped me begin to believe in myself by believing in me. Thank you for forever changing my life by helping me get to know myself with openness and understanding.

H.Z., Psychology Ph.D. Candidate

Working with Mark on attachment repair and nervous system regulation shifted how I handle challenging and overwhelming situations that occur in my life. With the growing awareness and tools he provided and nurtured within me, I was able to transform reactions that once ruined my days and clouded my perspective. I can now be in very uncomfortable realities outside and inside and respond with so much more spaciousness, curiosity and possibility of how to stay present and loving

H.G., Facilitator, Teacher

My favorite teacher on the planet is the incredible Mark Tanaka. His qigong and yoga fusion classes have been a lifeline throughout the pandemic, and have helped me stay grounded and sane during these turbulent times. He gently and firmly guides, educates, and challenges all his students, and truly holds space like no other. I aim to emulate his teaching style and bring the same qualities of empathy, care, and presence into the classes I teach.

T.B., Qigong Instructor, Coach

The pandemic put me in a very bad place with intense overwhelm and anxiety. I started taking Qi Gong classes with Mark virtually in 2020 and that had a huge positive impact on every aspect of my life. Then I started individual coaching sessions which allowed me to delve into the specific issues that needed attention. Together the Qi Gong practice and the coaching sessions have become a central part of my personal health journey. I now feel confident in my ability to self regulate by quickly noticing when I am off balance and taking the steps to lovingly care for myself.
