Nurturing connection through therapy and movement.

Hi, my name is Layla Jasper. I am a queer therapist, dancer, and facilitator with over a decade of experience in community mental health and education.

I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.

My passion lies in fostering mental wellness by working creatively and collaboratively to discover ways to regulate our nervous systems and to feel safer in and more connected to our bodies. All with the hope of feeling more connected to the world around us. I work with people ages 3 years+ with an approach that is uniquely blending many modalities including EMDR, Expressive Arts, Somatics, Eco and Experiential Therapy.

The goal is to heal trauma, learn nervous system regulation tools and connect to the body’s language. People who experience the most success with me want to use EMDR, somatics, expressive arts and mindfulness to increase embodiment, unlearn limiting beliefs and learn tools for nervous system regulation.

Imagination, hope and creativity go offline for us when we are overwhelmed, anxious or feeling numb and depressed.

Learning to find regulation through co-regulation and creativity can help us to see the bigger picture of life, the possibilities and hope for the future.
