Low Key Spiritual - Everyday Therapy through Movement & Mindfulness

Combining my background in social work and yoga, I approach this practice holistically and realistically, curating customized programs for each of my clients while providing one-on-one guidance. Pairing movement, meditation and breathwork based on your individual needs, goals and preferences, this therapeutic practice will provide you with the tools to get through difficult times, opening the doorway to lasting healing.

When we embrace this process fully, we can slow down, experience our feelings and work through limitations in order to move forward. As we harness these rituals everyday, we are able to step into our power and build a life that is filled with joy, peace and healing.

Who I Work With

My clients are curious and open to venturing along a spiritual path while also grounded in everyday human reality - and aware of the challenges that come along with it. They’re willing to experience new approaches of healing and are mindful about how they show up in the world and in their relationships. Or maybe they are in the beginning stages of this work and WANT to engage more consciously in these facets of life. They also don’t want to deal with the guesswork in finding the ‘right practice’ amidst all the noise - which can sometimes hinder progress in our healing journeys.

Are you willing to challenge yourself so that you can learn more and experience the grace of a deeper life experience? If so, I’d love to guide you on your journey of discovery and self realization!

Are you willing to open yourself up to a new life?

Work through life’s greatest challenges

The human experience is beautiful and it is also filled with challenges that we must overcome. At some point in each of our precious lives, we will experience our own versions of trauma, anxiety, stress, loss or grief. Perhaps some of these more trying times have left you feeling ‘stuck’. You might be having a difficult time moving on from the past. Your path might feel blocked, preventing you from living a life of ease.

Maybe you find yourself struggling with your own self worth? Looking for help to find your purpose? Seeking ways to deepen your connection to yourself or invite more nourishing relationships into your orbit?

This is a potent time for you to contemplate and inquire, with intention, into your patterns, to invite more tenderness into your inner dialogue, and to bring more clarity to your work, life, relationships and overall well-being.

My Process

A trained therapist and yoga and meditation teacher, I guide my clients through a journey of holistic healing in a manner that is completely customized and personal. As an empath who has worked through my own very real trauma, I offer a no nonsense approach, meeting my clients exactly where they are in their lives. No judgments. Lots of compassion. And a whole lot of love.

I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities rooted in both Eastern and Western philosophies, providing a perfect backdrop for the individual who wants to integrate more esoteric rituals into their lives, while still seeing concrete results that can be applied in the everyday real world. My approach is an amalgamation of a variety of modalities including: Mindfulness-Based Stress REduction, Trauma Informed Yoga, Active Yin Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Strength-Based Therapy, Yoga Nidra, Meditation, Mindfulness, Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Create Lasting Change

It has been proven that yoga and mindfulness can change our neurological connections and help us heal. Beyond traditional talk therapy, I blend yoga, mindfulness, ayurveda and science to provide essential healing around anxiety, trauma, grief and loss. This work can be extremely transformative for clients who are ready (and willing) to open to the possibilities and try something new.

I will partner with you to ensure you feel heard and seen. I will honor the place in you that needs to tell your story and have your upsets acknowledged, with the ultimate goal of changing the story and moving toward resolution. My role is to help you get more of what you want out of life. We will touch upon and access the wisdom of your body, because when we can process our emotions and feelings physically, we can create lasting change in our lives.

What I Do

Your customized therapeutic experience will include a combination of physical movement, meditation and mindfulness practices, infused with a modern take on traditional talk therapy. After Immersion into the program, you will begin receiving your weekly customized “prescriptions”. To suit your needs, you may opt for a customized prescription or pre-recorded videos with an additional check-in. You choose what works best for you!

How It Works

Immersion

It is so important to build a relationship with one another so we can truly do expansive healing work together. In our first session (in person or via Zoom), we’ll devote an hour to discuss your current situation and any issues or challenges you would like to address. The more I get to know you, the better I’ll be able to prescribe modalities that will help you release what is no longer serving you and move past obstacles so you can find healing.

Implementation

Your life experience, preferences, and personal goals will determine your prescribed practice, customized just for you. Every week, I will provide a customized prescription of mindfulness techniques, yoga practices, journal prompts, and more. Essentially, you’ll be equipped with a custom toolkit that you can use to clear the way, bring you along the path of holistic healing and move forward in your life to achieve your goals. I will be there right beside you, guiding you through any challenging times, and cheering you along when you break through healing milestones

Integration

When you journal about your experiences - and keep records of the emotions and feelings throughout the practice - we can identify where we need to shift in order to catalyze the ultimate healing. As you become more and more attuned to your inner dialogue, become fully aware of the present moment, and make the necessary refinements along the way, you will start to shape your desired life from the inside out.

Inspiration

All clients will receive a private one-hour yoga class to help you along the way of healing your body, inspiring you to build your arsenal of physical, mental and emotional strength, both on and off the mat. I offer three options of packages, so that you have the flexibility to choose the frequency and format that works best for you!

About me

Francesca
Budesheim

I am a trauma survivor.

As a survivor of assault, I know what it feels like to block out difficult feelings and emotions, only to have them resurface, waiting to be addressed. When I finally came to grips with my trauma, I realized why yoga and movement had been such a potent practice for me. Yoga allowed me to be in my body and to feel safe while doing so. My yoga practice has served as a solid complement to my mental health work. Together, they have helped me create a strong foundation to create clear boundaries, address patterns that kept me in unhealthy relationships and to cultivate a conscious way of interacting with the world around me.

Today, I am dedicated to demystifying yoga, mindfulness, meditation and breathwork,

and sharing these practices to help others access stuck energy in their bodies in order to utilize them as essential tools for healing.

With over ten years in grief counseling, clinical social work, and supporting abused women and at-risk youth, I became interested in utilizing mindfulness and yoga to access grief and move through it energetically to harness emotions in service of healing. Further studies in ayurveda, traditional chinese medicine, somatic therapy and trauma informed yoga have complimented my interdisciplinary fields of work and professional experience and have led me to creating a unique approach to holistic healing.

Low-key Spiritual is a modern alternative to traditional talk therapy for those of us who prefer a total mind-body experience to healing and connecting deeper to ourselves.
