Internal Family Systems
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a deeply transformative and healing modality for bringing into awareness our unconscious personal scripts and the protective and wounded inner parts communicating them. It maintains that the human mind is naturally multiple and that during lived experiences, we divide parts of ourselves into different roles. These Parts are aspects of our true Self. In this modality, I will guide you to access your Self and, from that core, come to understand and heal your parts. For more in-depth explanation of this evidence-based model, go to www.ifs-institute.com.
Intimacy From The Inside Out
Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO) is a transformative couple’s therapy approach rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) theory. This innovative model guides partners on a journey of self-discovery and mutual understanding and fosters deep introspection, empathy, and compassion within the relationship. Through this process, partners learn to communicate more authentically, resolve conflicts with greater understanding, and cultivate a profound sense of intimacy. I work with all genders and relationship styles including (but not limited to) monogamy, polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, open, aromantic and asexual.
Somatic Sex Education
Somatic sex education (SSE) is a holistic approach to sexual exploration and healing that emphasizes the connection between the body, mind, and emotions. This transformative practice invites individuals of all genders, orientations, and relationship structures to explore their sexuality in a safe and supportive environment. Through experiential learning and embodiment practices, SSE empowers individuals to cultivate a deeper understanding of their own bodies, desires, and boundaries. Rooted in Wheel of Consent™ education and integrating movement, breathwork, and mindfulness techniques, individuals or partners learn to release physical and emotional blocks, navigate pleasure and intimacy, and foster authentic connection with themselves and others.
Hi, I'm Deanna.
(they/them)
Welcome to The Body Noetic. I'm passionate about working with people who struggle with blocks or behaviors that get in the way of them experiencing the life, relationships or sex they want to be having. I'm also passionate about helping people (re)connect with their body and inner wisdom. Often, this goes hand in hand.
As an actor, I spent years studying scripts, the choices characters make and the wounds that were driving them. As a practitioner, I aim to guide you to understand your own scripts and the wounds that drive them and empower you to restore choice in your life and relationships. My work is trauma-informed and inclusive, co-creating a space where you can feel safe and free to bring your unique identities, needs, interests, life experiences, neurodivergence, physical and mental health abilities. My practice is a safe LGBTQIA+ space.
My services are available over zoom, in person at my San Antonio, TX office or as walk-and-talk sessions at Hardberger Park in San Antonio.
My journey to this work is intertwined with my own personal healing and recovery from complex PTSD. In addition, I have completed Internal Family Systems
Level 1 Practitioner Training, IFS Level 2-Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO) Basic Training, IFIO Sexuality Matters Advanced Training, IFIO Betrayal & Repair Advanced Training and (currently) Susan McConnell's Somatic IFS training. I have studied with teachers at the Sea School of Embodiment, Institute of Somatic Sexology, School of Relational Embodiment, and School of Somatic Sexology, receiving certifications in Sexological Bodywork and Embodied Sex Coaching. I’ve also studied at the Co-Active Training Institute receiving my Certificate of Completion for CTI’s Coach Training Program. I am a member of the Association for Coaching and the Association of Certified Sexological Bodyworkers (ACSB) and adhere to the ethical codes of both.
Some identities I hold: white, neurodivergent, genderfluid, pansexual, parent.
