Payments on a sliding scale!

2011-12-02T16:56:00.001-07:00

Dear Ones,

At last there’s a way for you to get the support you need at the price you can afford! Shifting States is moving to a sliding scale payment model that makes it easier for you to choose the fee that fits your budget.

1 Hour Session = $90 – $50.
75 min Session = $105 – $65.
1.5 Hour Session = $120 – $80.
2 Hour Session = $140 – $110.

It is my intention that more people come and receive the healing and support they need. To that end I hope that implementing a new payment structure will allow you to access my services more often as well as recommend others would either need some help with payment or who can afford to pay more.

May your deepest longing come true.

Lucien

(Holiday Gift Certificates are also available at the sliding scale rates, as well as any amount from $10, $20, and $30 on up.)

6 Years in Boulder!

2011-09-11T18:29:00.003-06:00

Six years ago today I arrived in Boulder to start a new life in a beautiful new place. Today I feel very lucky to continue to live, work, and play here. Thank you everyone who has made this life for me here such a success.

Here's to six years in Boulder!

The Nakedness Under our Clothes

2011-08-14T10:55:00.000-06:00

.
The truth of who we are is so simple and so satisfying. It's as obvious as recognizing that you are naked under your clothes!

Who you are is the perfection of reality arising, right now in this very moment, as you. When we connect deeply with that truth in our own body we experience deep satisfaction. Why? Because it's true. We each live and express that fundamental truth differently, but in the end it's the same deep peace that comes from this basic experience or truth. We're all connected. We're all naked under our clothes.

Then why do we experience so much turmoil, struggle, anxiety? Why so much disconnection, anxiety and aloneness? When you are afraid, alone and in pain, what happens to the simple truth of who you are? Does it go away? Are we really alone in those moments?

The truth of who you are is ALWAYS here, now. So is the deep satisfaction that comes when you directly experience yourself. When we are in pain and feeling alone, it's as if we believe we are the clothes we are wearing instead of the nakedness underneath. No one would pull at their shirt and say, "this is me!" Who you are as this deep peace and connectedness is always here. You are that peace, right now.

The invitation is to slow down, turn your attention inward, and be willing to experience directly what is arising in you. That takes practice. Lots and lots of practice to be able to feel comfortable in your essential nakedness. It takes time, and having some help... reall helps!

I'm here to help you explore and discover who you truly are. I'm here to help you experience the deep satisfaction of directly experiencing the truth of you.

Does this interest you? Then give me a call and let's begin the discovery.

May your deepest longing be your every experience.

Cultivate your FREEDOM through Psychotherapy!

2011-08-02T13:11:00.000-06:00

I've been thinking a lot about freedom lately. How to really live a vital, thriving life? How does the caterpillar become a butterfly? This is the exploration, the invitation at the foundation of the new psychotherapy work I offer based on the Hakomi Method of experiential psychotherapy.

I invite you to schedule a psychotherapy session with me so I can help you experience this essential freedom and vitality. By exploring what arises in the present moment through body-centered psychotherapy you can access the truth of who you are = free.

I am now offering Hakomi-based psychotherapy sessions on a sliding scale of $40-$80 per Hour. Please call me with any questions and to schedule a session today. Experience freedom!

Lucien

I Completed the Hakomi Training!

2011-06-27T20:27:00.000-06:00

After two years of incredible study and personal transformation, I have completed my training in the Hakomi Method of experiential psychotherapy!

It's been a truly amazing journey for me. Not only do I feel very well equipped to offer help and guidance to my clients as a therapist, I feel humbled to offer these skills from a more authentic and vulnerable place. I am utterly amazed at how much I've changed in the past two years as a result of this training. It's truly been a gift, and one that I am excited to share with you!

I love this work!

In the past two years I've already seen how powerful this gentle approach is and intend to continue with my studies and the Hakomi organization. In fact, as I celebrate the completion of my own training I am beginning a new journey as a Teaching Assistant in the next two year training that just started in Boulder! I am honored to be a part of the team, and with deeper involvement it is my intention to become a Certified Hakomi Therapist (CHT) in the next couple of years.

But for now, please join me in celebrating this completion by letting others know about this life-changing work! Get involved! Get trained! Come in for a session and experience the work! You will not regret it.

With excitement and an open heart,

Lucien

Three Cups of Tea - Thank you to all my clients!

2011-05-15T18:39:00.000-06:00

Not only did I receive a very generous tip from a client today, I also received a copy of the book Three Cups of Tea, autographed by the author himself!

What a gift. I really do feel blessed. And it reminds me of how deeply nourishing it is for me to help people journey into themselves and discover what's there. That too is a daily gift.

So thank you for all the blessings you bestow upon me when you trust me and come to me for help. Here's to the deepest parts of ourselves, who we truly are.

Warmly,

Lucien

Are you having a Nervous BreakTHROUGH!?

2011-03-07T10:54:00.000-07:00

A client and I were discussing the value of falling apart... the very real dis-integration that happens when we are learning to move from a set of habitual behaviors towards making new choices. When we've left the relative safety of the known defense and are swimming in unknown waters. It can feel like an utter breakdown; urgent, scary, uncertain.

So I said, "A friend of mine (well known Gestalt therapist) likes to say, "Breakdown preceded breakthrough."

My client replied, "Well, a friend of mine likes to say, "I'm having a nervous breakthrough!"

I just LOVE that saying! Having our hearts and minds WIDE OPEN during the periods of uncertainty and change is what helps us land safely on the other side. Openness makes the difference between breakdown and breakthrough.

How do we stay open when it hurts the most?... with love and support. The support of loving friends, a trusted therapist, our community. Most importantly, a place where we can slow down, turn inside, and give ourselves the opportunity to see new choices spontaneously arrive in consciousness. The combination of moving consciously toward our experience in the presence of love and acceptance is what makes the difference between nervous breakdowns or gently breaking through to new possibilities.

Therapy is essentially about freedom. The freedom to be who we truly are. So if you're feeling like you're about to fall apart and shatter, move consciously, please reach out for love and support.

With love,

Lucien

7 Great Years as a Massage Therapist!

2011-01-31T16:27:00.000-07:00

.
First and foremost, THANK YOU to all of you who continue to trust me with your healing and wellness! I am so grateful to know and work with each of you over these many years.

January 30th marks my seventh year working as a Massage Therapist! I love working with people and it only gets better and better with time.

As I move into the final part of my two year training in Hakomi Psychotherapy I see a future where I continue to offer great bodywork as I transition towards a profession in psychotherapy. I had my best year ever as a massage therapist last year, and I think 2011 will be even better!

Whether it's for massage or hakomi-based counseling, I look forward to seeing you in the office and supporting your needs in 2011.

With gratitude,

Lucien

Honoring Ron Kurtz, the Founder of Hakomi

2011-01-04T22:12:00.000-07:00

Ron Kurtz, the founder and visionary of Hakomi, passed away this afternoon.

Thank you Ron for what you brought into this world. Hakomi has changed my life in so many amazing ways. I'm so grateful.

2010: Turning Point... A Passion for Psychotherapy.

2010-12-20T14:39:00.000-07:00

Dear Friends, Clients, and Loved Ones,

Thank you for an amazing year! By all measures I had my best year ever as a therapist. Thank you for trusting me with your wellness and your unique healing journey.

2010 was a major turning point in my career as a therapist and a healer. Following my passion for people and their stories led me to expand my skillset into the field of psychotherapy. Towards the end of 2009 I began a 2-year training in the Hakomi Method of Experiential Psychotherapy and thus began a real love-affair with this work!

I used to think of myself as a bodyworker who was very passionate about people's process and psychology. Now I realize that I feel much more like an emerging psychotherapist who has a lot knowledge and experience in the body. As 2010 comes to a close I feel myself clearly headed towards a career in body-centered psychotherapy. As a result I feel more energized and impassioned about my work and my path as a healer than ever before.

In 2011 I will begin incorporating more Hakomi-based psychotherapy into my bodywork sessions. I will also begin offering stand-alone Hakomi-based psychotherapy sessions to new and existing clients. (Please feel free to ask me about this new work and how it can help you!)

WHAT ABOUT MASSAGE? Not to worry!... It is my intention to continue to offer great massage and bodywork. Getting clearer about my passion for psychotherapy does not mean leaving behind massage and hands on healing work. Taking this next step simply means expanding my offering so I can continue to serve you in the best way possible. Over time I hope to have a healing practice that is 2/3 psychotherapy and 1/3 massage and bodywork.

Above all I have a passion for helping each person on their unique healing journey. In the end my central question as a healer will always be, "How can I help you?"

Here's to your health, Truth, and happiness in 2011,

Sincerely,

Lucien

A New Chapter! - Registered Psychotherapist

2010-06-15T18:04:00.003-06:00

I received notification this week that I am now in the database as a "Registered Psychotherapist". What this means is that I can legally practice as a Psychotherapist and incorporate psychotherapeutic process into the body of work I offer my clients.

My work has been heading that way for years, and now the time has finally come to launch this new part of myself. This is simply another step towards acknowledging who I am....

I am a therapist, a healer. That's what I do, that's who I am.

...and I LOVE it!

Helping people is my passion and my purpose, and this is just another step along the way to emerging fully as a therapist in the world. And yes, I am still practicing and offering Massage Therapy, I'm simply adding another tool to my body of work for those who want/need it.

So, please join me as I celebrate this symbolic moment!

with love,

Lucien

m'knee n me... Accident or Opportunity?

2010-06-02T19:31:00.004-06:00

So, I cut my knee DEEPLY last night (Tuesday). I didn’t go to the emergency room because I don’t have health insurance and wanted to wait until this morning so I could go to People’s Clinic. However, this morning I went to People’s Clinic and after the first Dr. nearly fainted and had to leave the room, the 2^nd Dr. said it was too serious for them to treat and sent me over to the Boulder Community Hospital Emergency Room. I’m released for now, but unfortunately I waited too long for stitches, so they gave me a tetanus, anti-biotics and I’ll need to go back to the ER on Saturday for suturing. Two ER visits in one week! (Insert ironic comment)

For a more involved story read below… and beware, I’m including semi-graphic photos, so if you get queasy with that kind of stuff, don’t look!

What happened…

The Booby-trapped Dish Rack:

I was in the kitchen getting some water when I accidentally bumped into the dish rack full of drying dishes. A glass Ball jar dove head first out of the dish rack towards the floor. With both hands occupied I reflexively went to “catch”/stop the jar with my leg, shattering it with the side of my right knee against the cabinet in the process. I didn't feel hurt, but when I looked down I saw a perfect 1.5 inch cut in my pants. I pulled up my pant-leg and looked directly into the deepest, cleanest cut I’d ever seen! It was like a living anatomy slide of the superficial layers of the knee. Skin cut perfectly, fascia sliced and separated, revealing the muscle belly bulging underneath!

Sark and Gemma to the rescue!

I immediately called a few people, and Sarkis and Gemma were there within 15min. Because I don’t have health insurance we decided to clean it well and close it with butterfly steri-strips and wait until morning to go to People’s Clinic. That was my first mistake. I should have gone right to the Emergency Room, but I learned that too late. If you need stitches, go right away! So I did what I know how to do… wrap it, elevate it, ice it, and rest it. I also took some Advil, then went to bed congratulating myself for crafting such a savvy plan to save so much money. Ugh…

People’s Clinic… NOT for emergencies!

This morning Gemma took me to People’s Clinic where I had to first register with the finance department to qualify for treatment. After the financial formalities I got an appointment and saw Doctor #1; a very nice woman who looked visibly shaken when she saw the wound. She faltered for a minute or so, then almost fainted and had to leave the room and get another doctor. Being quite seasoned, the second Doctor got right in there (while I used a string of profanities) and we all got to see that it was far deeper and more severe than we had originally believed. He admitted that it was a little too much for what they were equipped to handle and I was sent to the Emergency Room at Boulder Community Hospital. Adios fantasy… hello reality!

Boulder Community ER: What a gift!

The experience at Boulder Community Hospital ER was wonderful. They were fast, efficient, knowledgeable, and exceptionally warm and caring. For a trip to the ER it was really quite satisfying to be taken care of so well. I was impressed. However, by that time it was far too late to do stitches.

“Delayed Closure”

Because of the endemic staff viruses, bacteria and such that live on the skin and in the air, if a wound goes more than 6 hours without being closed properly they typically do what’s called an “open-closure”. That means you put the patient on anti-biotics to make sure no infection can settle into the wound, keep the wound open while the medicine sets in, and close it after they have had plenty of time to work in the system. I was also given a tetanus shot. I’ll be going back to the ER on Saturday for suturing.

So, in the end, I tried to save myself money and will end up with TWO visits to the ER this week. But I’m learning there are ways to get my expenses covered if I don’t have insurance, so overall I’m just happy to be getting good care.

So for now, I'm laid up on the couch with an opportunity. I’m very much looking forward to the life lessons waiting to be gleaned from all this, but for now I’m starting with… if you don’t have health insurance, don’t try to catch glass jars with your knee.

Here are a few pictures. Don’t look if you get queasy easily.

With love,

Lucien

Credit Card Payments on my iPhone! Coming Soon...

2010-05-11T22:25:00.001-06:00

I just signed up to accept credit card payments on my iPhone through a company and device called Square. I'm very excited about it!

The concept is simple: Using a little device that plugs into the headphone jack of the phone, I turn my iphone into a secure credit card terminal. This is so great! Lot's of people ask me if I accept credit cards and now I can say "yes!".

Check out the video.

I love integrating technology into my healing work with people. And as a small business owner it makes it easier to compete with larger establishments if I can accept credit cards without a merchant account. More details coming soon...

Thank you Square!

Calling all Community! - Circle Up!

2010-04-17T16:56:00.002-06:00

You are not alone. The voice of the community is saying, "Help me!" How do we respond?

ANSWER: Circle up! Gather up your friends, loved ones, and those important to your life and call them into a circle to share your situation and get support. Simple, powerful, NECESSARY.

There's no better time to flex the muscle of community. And there's no better way to address the personal difficulties in our lives than by getting together and sharing. Sharing the intensity, emotion and reality of our current situations. It's too big to do it alone; too daunting. It's bigger than us, so why try and tackle it by yourself or with your partners, alone in your home?

With the power and support of your friends and loved ones around you, things get easier. Before a "solution" can come, the moment needs to be felt. Sometimes that is too much for one person to feel. Small circles of support spread out the daunting energy of the situation making it palatable and life-size.

You are not alone. Pick up the phone, send an email, tell a friend at the grocery store you need some support. And ask someone else if they need a little support from you. Flex your community muscles.

Calling all community... CIRCLE UP!

In Memoriam - Remembering Tim Leifield

2010-04-06T17:32:00.012-06:00

Last week Tim Leifield, a longtime client of mine, passed away. I'm writing to remember and honor a wonderful man who was my first regular client... a very important figure in the start of my path as a therapist in Boulder. He was a major inspiration towards the start of my practice.

Shortly after moving to Boulder in 2005 I got a job doing chair massage at Whole Foods. On my very first day Tim was a client of mine. When the massage was over he scheduled a treatment at my office and gave me a generous tip! That's just the way he was... generous, and easy to be around.

After our first session, Tim decided to start coming on a regular basis. Thus he became my first "regular" client in Boulder, inspiring me and giving me the confidence to make massage my business as well as my passion. Tim was also responsible for referring many of my current regular clients. In a way, I can trace a lot of my success and practice back to Tim. I want to acknowledge how important his influence was on my current life path.

Tim, I'm sad to see you go my friend. Thank you for supporting my passion and my practice, and for really being there at the start of a beautiful life path. I will miss you.

More about Tim in the Boulder Daily Camera.

The Back Whisperer - This stuff works!

2010-03-26T16:00:00.001-06:00

During a session recently a major shift occurred in a client's back. The relief inspired a wonderful fit of laughing that ended with them saying, "Man, you're like the 'Back Whisperer'!"

We both had a good laugh at that, followed by a a short discussion that really recognized and acknowledged the significant shift in their quality of life since starting regular bodywork with me over two years ago.

When they first started coming they were in an almost constant state of moderate pain and discomfort, and suffering from debilitating bouts of severe pain on a daily basis. Not only was their daily life filled with pain and discomfort, but they lived with the belief that, "This is the way it is", not really knowing that there was another way to experience their life. Now, almost three years later, they live without even noticing their back, and come in occasionally for maintenance as needed!

The real message is people can break out of the narrow grooves they live in and experience the joy, ease and pleasure of living in their body again. We don't have to live stuck in our pain, or stuck wondering, "Is this it?". We can meet the issues of our body and mind with conscious attention and skill, and experience real change.

Whether or not you are in pain, if you have a sense that there's more to life than what you are living, come in and let's work together. You will be making a powerful choice to support yourself, and give yourself an opportunity to experience more and more of your full potential.

This stuff works!

Big Hairy Audacious Goal

2010-03-01T17:13:00.000-07:00

Imagine that some asks you to see your own eyeball. Impossible, right? Well, now imagine that someone puts you in a room and wants you to see your own eyeball, but they don't tell you what they want you to accomplish... Doubly impossible! It's like trying to achieve an audacious goal that you aren't even aware that you have. Like searching for a buried treasure that has no map.

I have a longing to discover something inside of me; to experience something fundamentally new, but I'm not even sure what it is. Discovering this experience is, to borrow from Collins and Porras, the "big, hairy, audacious goal" of my life right now.

Despite not really knowing what I'm looking for, there are small signs and experiences that suggest that an unseen experience is there to be discovered. It's like seeing the light reflected off the moon and knowing that it comes from a larger, unseen source.

So, I recognize that this new experience or inner landscape is largely occluded; it can't be seen, felt, or understood. What's more is the experience that occludes the inner territory is in itself a vast, unexplored landscape!

Therefore my challenge is twofold:

Map the experience of occlusion; that which cloaks the new experience and...
Map the experience that is being occluded.

I'm facing 99% of a task whose goal is unknown. This is my big - hairy - audacious - goal!

Journey to the Center of Me

2010-02-24T14:57:00.012-07:00

Today I am embarking on a journey like no other I've taken...

Like going out in search of a buried treasure without a map or searching for a life-saving antidote without knowing the poison. All I have is my intention to guide me.

My intention is to penetrate into this mystery.

Therefore, effective immediately, I am accepting a new job. My purpose over the next 40 days will be to journey to the center of me. To make a bold, last step - a gesture if you will - towards the experience in me that has held me back all these years.

What do I see inside the circle? I don't know...

... but I will.

Take your vitamin "M" ! (Massage)

2010-02-15T15:13:00.001-07:00

Recent studies have proved that taking Vitamin M (massage) on a regular basis dramatically improves your health and well being! :)

Ok, there's no such thing as "vitamin M", but I was recently been reminded by a client of the real power and effectiveness of receiving great bodywork on a regular basis.

During a session this week a client of mine said, "Massage is so good for me! I'm going to do this more often... I need to take my vitamin M!"

We spent the next couple of minutes laughing and smiling!

And it's true... Great bodywork stands by itself, but coming regularly shifts people's health and quality of life in the most dramatic and positive ways. It's like regular exercise, yoga, or taking that essential vitamin or supplement on a daily basis. Coming regularly works!

So remember... take your Vitamin M!

Celebrating 6 Years as a Massage Therapist!

2010-01-28T13:24:00.001-07:00

January 30th completes my sixth year as a Massage Therapist! and I'm taking this time to celebrate, reflect, and give thanks for choosing an amazing profession and for living a blessed lifestyle!

Six years ago I was living on the island of Maui, Hawaii (see picture to the right) and completing a 700 hour massage course in the remote village of Hana. After graduation I went directly to work for the Honua Spa at the legendary Hotel Hana Maui and started my massage career in a tropical jungle paradise.

Now, six years later, I feel blessed to be working as an independent Massage Therapist and making my living helping people live richer lives in their body and minds.

I simply feel really grateful for this work and this lifestyle.

Thank you to all my teachers, fellow therapists, friends and family, and especially all my clients!

Here's to SIX YEARS!

Feel Good Story - Massage in hard times

2010-01-15T14:18:00.003-07:00

.
Employees at Aerogrow International handed me $100 today so that one of their co-workers and her family members could come get relief during a very difficult family time.

I'm really touched by their generosity, thoughtfulness and care. Even in very difficult times (for everyone) people are looking out for each other. It leaves me with a renewed sense of trust in the human spirit and a much needed dose of hope and positivity.

I'm offering to match their donation of $100 so that S. and her family can all come in for support when they need it.

There's something very real and immediate about weaving a strong fabric of community in these times.

Thank you everyone at Aerogrow for your heartfelt generosity and care.

2009-11-02T14:40:00.001-07:00

Dear Friends and Clients, Things are shifting as usual!

First and foremost, if you're trying to get information about my massage practice, please visit my new massage website: www.MassageBoulder.net.

I now have two websites...

1. Shifting States: www.ShiftingStates.com
2. Massage Boulder: www.MassageBoulder.net

This year I will begin transitioning my Shifting States website and business towards a focus on embodiment and the emerging body-centered psychotherapy work I have been developing over the last two years.

My practice has begun to shift and evolve towards helping people embody and heal through a combination of bodywork and attention to deeper core beliefs as they manifest in the body-mind. This shift has come directly out of my experience with Integrative Body Psychotherapy (IBP) and has led me to seek more training in the field of body-centered Psychotherapy, specifically Hakomi Therapy. I am currently in a two year Hakomi Therapy training program, on course to graduate in 2011.

Over the next two years I will be transitioning my Shifting States practice to include this new body of work, and I will be updating my websites to reflect these changes.

To sum up...

MassageBoulder.net: For information and client referrals regarding my massage practice.

ShiftingStates.com: For information regarding embodiment work and my psychotherapy training in Hakomi Therapy. (New website coming soon...)

If you have any feedback on either of the sites or on my work and business as a whole I would LOVE to hear it.

I really appreciate all of your support and trust over the last 4 years, and I'm looking forward to working with you soon!

Thanks!

Looking forward to the start of the Hakomi training this Thursday November 5th! Hakomi (Hopi Indian word that means "Who are you" or "How do you stand in relation to these many realms") is a body-centered experiential psychotherapy developed by Ron Kurtz and his associates over the last 3 decades. To read more about it visit the Hakomi Institute's website I'm very excited to begin implementing this work into the healing and bodywork I already do with my clients.
