Personal Sessions
Healing through Embodiment and Creative Expression
More than fixing or managing, I offer a safe space to explore and be with the wisdom of your body.
Hi, I’m Robin Burgin!
I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) and Expressive Arts Facilitator. My practice is born from a profound belief in the wisdom of the body and the transformative power of the arts. I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Expressive Art Therapy, building on my Bachelor of Fine Arts and my certification as a Guided Drawing® Practitioner from The Institute of Sensorimotor Art Therapy. Every step of my journey strengthens my conviction in what's possible for you.
I've seen firsthand how curiosity and creativity, innate gifts we all possess, often get buried under the demands of a fast-paced, complex world. We rarely get the time or a truly safe space to slow down and integrate our experiences. This is precisely why I've built my practice and workshops: to meet you exactly where you are. My mission is to help you re-establish your agency, rekindle that vital curiosity, re-introduce the pure joy of creativity, and expand your capacity to return to self-regulation/co-regulation. You don't need any prior therapy or artistic background to begin this deeply personal work. I'm excited to grow my private practice and genuinely look forward to connecting with you soon.

Somatic Experiencing
What is Somatic Experiencing:
Somatic Experiencing™ (SE) takes your healing journey beyond the mind and into the wisdom held within your body. We'll work together to gently explore your physical sensations, allowing them to guide us towards deeper understanding and release. Unlike traditional talk therapy, SE focuses less on verbalizing your story and more on feeling into the emotions and experiences stored within your body.
Because you already have everything you need to heal. Sensations, emotions, and memories are all resources we can use to notice, explore, and understand the current-day behaviors or patterns that leave you feeling anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, helpless, or experiencing physical pain. Through a gentle exploration of these sensations, we can create space for release and discover a path towards feeling more grounded, empowered, and at ease in your own body. Remember, you are the expert of your own experience, and I'm here to guide and support you on your journey of self-discovery and healing.
How SE may show up in session:
Im session, you might notice a tightness in your chest as we discuss a past event. Instead of delving solely into the memory, we might explore this physical sensation together. Is it a heaviness, a burning, or a fluttering? As we pay attention, the sensation might shift, soften, or even dissolve entirely, offering a natural pathway towards emotional release and healing.
This is just one example of how SE can unfold in a session. It's a collaborative process, led by your body's unique responses and rhythms. By tuning into these physical cues, we can unlock deeper layers of understanding and release, paving the way for lasting transformation.
“Our senses are always cross talking to create unique impressions and feelings about our world. And because the arts, by their very nature, are strong sensory inputs that engage multiple systems, they are uniquely capable of accessing interconnected neural pathways that allow us to process emotions, name and express our feelings, and even work on accessing the unconscious psyche.”
