Improving the human experience, one body at a time.

Welcome! I’m Tiffany Hutchens and I have spent a lot of years exploring, learning, teaching, coaching, and creating. I’ve also spent many a days suffering by my own head and hand and I know, above all else that we all need compassionate support if we are to witness what our heart truly desires. You are not responsible for how you grew up or what you have been through but I have learned that what I thought I knew was only part of the picture. Even after years of physically pushing my body to it’s limits and doing all the things to recover, I still didn’t KNOW what I couldn’t FEEL.
The brain loves patterns and efficiency, so I thought I was taking the right actions to heal my anxiety, perfectionism, depression, anger, shame, and the like. Turns out, I never really sensed into those emotions. I recognized them and then analyzed them till I had built up management strategies good enough to keep me performing in accordance with my identity and environmental expectations.
Somatic Experiencing therapy supported me in discovering all the sensations I had overridden throughout my life, including pleasure and accepting support from others! I don’t think you would be reading this far in if you had that all figured out for yourself. Through my multitude of career vectors I have supported youth and adults through this experience called life and I plan to never stop learning, sharing, listening, and growing. I’d love to share this journey with you! I promise, it won’t unfold the way you think it will.
