Joan Chua is a very knowledgeable, skilled & intuitive practitioner. She provides a safe & supportive environment where deep trust can be established. I have found that her unique way of combining Polarity Therapy followed by Craniosacral Therapy has helped me to release emotional trauma experienced decades ago.

Learn More About Joan Chua, RCST®, PLC

About me

I am a somatic therapist SKILLED in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Polarity Therapy, Trauma Resolution, Attachment theory and Pre and Perinatal Psychology. I AM ABLE to meet and support you in your journey towards healing.

My SPECIALTY includes an in-depth understanding of nervous system regulation and trauma resolution.
I use a body-oriented approach to healing trauma, one that nurtures your resilience TOWARDS OPTIMAL HEALTH and VITALITY.

My Philosophy of Care

My approach to healing recognizes energy as the dynamic force that moves through us. Our MIND, EMOTIONS, BODY and SOUL are interrelated; when there is no coherence, we experience a form of "dis-ease." My role is to facilitate your process of SELF-EXPLORATION and SELF-EXPRESSION as a way to access your innate wisdom and capacity to heal.

What You Can Expect On Your First Visit

Clients often experience an inner sense of calm and peace, feelings of cohesiveness and being more PRESENT in their body.

My Inspiration

"To be HELD and HEARD" in my deepest pain with the PRESENCE of an "other" was deeply transformational. This paved the way for cultivating a relationship with different parts of myself and brought new depths of courage, resilience, authenticity and empowerment.

I appreciate Joans patience and knowledge on the subject matter. The exercises I have learned have been most helpful. There are many people helping me and Joan has been able to teach me new ways to help with my depression, as well as echo what other guides have explained to me.
