Limbic Space
Limbic Space is named after Limbic System in our brain, the house of our emotions, behavioral, sensorial and memory formations; it informs our endocrine system and the autonomic nervous system, both of which are responsible for stress & hormone regulation. Space is a container for all cosmic possibilities beyond linear time.
Limbic Space facilitates with cross-pollenated approaches of Death doulaship and Generational Brainspotting in which I attune with each person’s ecosystem that is built upon ancestral legacies, and shaped by current socio-political and ecological conditions. This work embraces ecological teachings, metaphors, symbolism, and building introceptive, intuitive skills as a practice of Remembering Embodiment and Disability Justice.
Values
-
Slow is the “fast” track - it is a courageously rebellious act to choose healing, no matter the noise and hunger and demands of the world outside. All of the small steps make our big picture.
“The times are urgent, let us slow down”
- Bayo Akomolafe -
“Neuro is of the nervous system, the neurobiology, the brain and the body which are primarily unconscious, out of our conscious reach. Experiential pertains to that which arises to and resides within our conscious awareness. To my observation, the foundation of the experiential is the sensory: sight, sound, feel, smell and taste. It is important to note that the brain receives the sensory input and creates a simulation of it, so what feels real is actually an internally created reality.”
- David Grand, PhD Brainspotting -
In Brainspotting, we acknowledge and embrace the infinite nature of 1-4 quadrillion synaptic connections in our brains. Our role is to listen, follow the lead of your ecosystem, and relinquish assumptions to fully witness what is. Assumptions get in our way of fully embracing the present unfolding.
Your neurophysiology holds the answers to reintegrating its system, given the sacred Frame we hold together (similarly referenced to as Set & Setting in psychedelics-assisted therapy work) -
We study how your present experience is shaped by current relational, familial and political moment, and the institutional and social norms of many generations. We guide you to gain access to your own healership in order to nourish and regulate your unique neurophysiological makeup, as well as clarity around the impacts of the exposome (your lived experiences) and that of your ancestors.

All sessions are informed by the eco-centric, holy regards to the living and the dead as taught by our Ancient Elders. We are lifelong students of the sacred Plants.
