Directory of Inner Relationship Teachers

Judy Archer MASc

I first discovered Focusing through my counseling training at the University of Waterloo in 1973 with Ralph Bierman PhD, a colleague of Eugene Gendlin. I started out freelancing in organizational change and gradually was drawn more to the wisdom and expression of the body through Trager™ movement re-education, personal growth teaching and landscape oil painting.

My learning with Ann began with her first telephone classes in the fall of 2003 and several classes/retreats in Chicago and California. I was Certified as a Focusing Trainer in 2005. I have also learned from Ann and Barbara McGavin in Treasure Maps workshops. I use Focusing as the rudder to guide several self integrating and nurturing processes including writing, visual arts and BodyTalk. I love being with people as they learn to drop into the spaciousness of focusing.

Since 2006 I also work as a BodyTalk Practitioner, a type of energy work that facilitates communications within the bodymind complex. www.bodytalksystem.com
