Alistair M. Hawkes

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
