Kelly Bahe-Newgord LMT,SEP,CEIM,TTP

As someone who has both experienced trauma and become a parent, I know first-hand how easy it can be to find ourselves more distant from our families and ourselves than we would like to be. Over the last 25+ years of being a massage therapist, I have seen how touch connects, heals and nurtures our relationship with ourselves and others. It is with continued curiosity about the body + brain and our relationships, that I’ve been led to study Somatic Experiencing®, Reiki, infant massage, Transforming Touch®, doula training and other forms of healing.

For the last 10 years, my focus has been on developmental trauma, attachment, birth trauma and repair, regulation and healing. My practice is all about working with families and individuals to achieve healthy relationships with themselves and others.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT and how to know if this work is for you

  • Each session is 50-60 mins. online or in person

  • Each session is personalized to the individual and modalities used are agreed upon between client and provider.

  • Using Somatic Experiencing® and Transformative Touch® allows me to provide you with a safe haven to learn more about your autonomic nervous system, attachment style and developmental trauma while healing.

Healing from trauma can help:

Regulation and self-awareness

Resilience

Resolve symptoms for adults and children

Teach that touch can be safe and nurturing

I have known Kelly for many years. She is someone who is easy to talk to and has amazing energy. She has taught me so much throughout the years. She was my doula for my daughters birth and massage therapist when I have aches and pains. She is someone who wears her heart on her sleeve. And we love you for it!

Cindy E

I would highly suggest Kelly's services to many families! Especially to expecting or new mothers. Kelly listened to me vent and allowed me to shared all my fears as a mom. Kelly’s class allowed me to learn a variety of techniques that I am still using today. In our group we had different guest speakers and activities. Such as dancing with our babies, massages, journaling, essential oils and much much more! When I ended up having to back to work, I felt a supportive friendship within my community of mothers

My son and I learned two easy massage techniques for connection and relaxation from Kelly. Years, later, he still asks me to do the Pizza on his back when he's tired or upset. These are such gifts to both of us since navigating those hard times can be hard for everyone. I'm grateful to have a therapeutic tool to help my son explore his emotions, or just give in to the need for sleep. Highly recommend!

Jenn

I am so grateful to have had this opportunity to learn about massage. I also loved the community of moms and the connection we made. They were all so great-especially as a first time mom!
Thank you for the workshop. It was lovely and really informative. I showed Tallulah the techniques. It was a sweet way to reconnect later in the day. Tallulah loves the planting a garden.

WHY ATTACHMENT MATTERS

Researchers have found that attachment patterns established early in life can lead to a number of outcomes. For example, children who are securely attached as infants tend to develop stronger self-esteem and better self-reliance as they grow older. These children also tend to be more independent, perform better in school, have successful social relationships, and experience less depression and anxiety.

As we grow into adults, we become more aware of our attachment styles (positive or negative)through relationships with others. CFP is here to help people of all ages to heal from trauma and to move forward through life thriving, not just surviving.
