A client described the impact of this approach:"In a half hour, Nisa got me to release anxiety and bring me into presence, which I have been trying to achieve for years through extreme sports and long meditations. I felt heard and understood without having to explain anything about my history. I got a present moment solution to a present moment problem - it seems so obvious when I say it like that! The resistance coming into the session soon slipped away and she got me doing some simple body movements which I never thought I would and their effectiveness encouraged me to keep going resulting in surprising shifts of tension around my body. I left our session feeling considerably better and with a simple plan of action I could apply whenever I felt myself anxiously disconnecting from the current moment. I unreservedly recommend Nisa. - Best wishes, Jack M.
