Professional statement

Alistair M. Hawkes LPC is a licensed somatic (body-based) psychotherapist and educator who enjoys working with clients of all ages.

In sessions with children, Alistair teaches a curriculum called BrainWise which helps children learn basic problem-solving skills. In sessions with clients younger than 12yo Alistair often insists that parents attend sessions so they can help the children remember to practice the skills at home.

In sessions with adults, Alistair teaches a variety of somatic practices that help them regulate their feelings, and tension and stress. Following therapy Alistair encourages all clients to attend regular wellness classes for opportunities to practice coping strategies on a regular basis with a community of like-minded learners. The wellness classes are open to the public, are one hour in length and are offered every other month. For details please see info in the groups section.

Practices used and taught in sessions and classes include HIKE4evolution concepts, energy medicine (breathwork, Jin Shin, QiGong), energy psychology (tapping, visualization), somatic coaching, and biofeedback/neurofeedback. These "practices of power" help us all tap into our innate and regenerative healing capacities.

Alistair provides therapy and education from a trauma-informed perspective and has professional training in the following areas: Somatic Counseling Psychology (Naropa University 2009), HIKE4evolution (2017), Personal Self-Integration (2021), Clarity Breathwork (2021), Jin-Shin Tara


Message to clients

Are you realizing that you are getting to the point of overwhelm, or you are already past it? Are you noticing more anxiety or negative thinking? Are you already doing pretty well but something just happened that knocked you over? Are you ready to learn some new to you, but ancient in and of themselves, practices (like breathwork, tapping, focused awareness, movement) that will empower you to feel happier, competent, satisfied, calm, and resilient?

I love working with individuals who are really ready to commit 100% to their healing and wellness. I love helping the ones who aren't quite ready to make that kind of commitment discover their self-worth and value and raise the bar on their personal standards for feeling good. I love sharing simple practices that I use myself to help others deepen awareness along with emotional and mental flexibility.

Are you curious about how some of these strategies could help you? Please feel free to reach out for a brief consult to satisfy your curiosity and learn about how you could apply some new and interesting things to your self-care and personal growth.
