The Method

Top-down and bottom-up, a complete approach to nervous system regulation.

A personalized approach to nervous system regulation, mental clarity, and inner peace.

Integrating psychotherapy, somatic practices, and yoga through private care and group experiences.

Rather than starting with a single modality, we begin by understanding each person's concerns, needs, and goals to determine the most appropriate approach.

Together, these approaches support deeper regulation, insight, resilience, presence, and self-trust.

Every person arrives with a unique story.

The story shapes our approach.

Working with the mind first

The top-down approach

Working from the mind down into the body, we use awareness, reflection, and inner exploration to understand thoughts, emotions, and patterns, and how they influence the body..

The bottom-up approach

  • "He is extremely knowledgeable and he has a true passion for Chinese medicine and reiki."

    Highly recommend Imad. I went into this place for reiki with Imad due to an infertility journey and his approach was professional, humbling and healing. He is extremely knowledgeable and he has a true passion for Chinese medicine and reiki. I had two sessions with him, and I'm now expecting after a 15 month long infertility journey. If you are in a position where enduring a lot of stress and feel overwhelmed I highly suggest booking. There are plenty of benefits to reiki :)

  • "Love his dynamic offering of different movements."

    “I have been taking Imad’s classes (Yoga flow, Yin yoga) for a few months regularly and it’s been wonderful! Love his dynamic offering of different movements. Even if it’s within the same class, every week, there’s always something new to learn and experience. I think what makes Imad’s classes special is his holistic approach having been trained in all interconnected disciplines of health, fitness, and spirituality. Highly recommend it! :)”
