Frequently Asked Questions
What services does Awakening Metamorphosis offer for self-discovery and personal growth?
1
Awakening Metamorphosis offers coaching and experiential practices designed to support self-discovery, personal growth, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to your own inner knowing.
Alyssa Grönlund, ACLC, RYT, integrates NeuroSomatic Integration Coaching with Brainspotting, parts work, generational repatterning, somatic practices, nervous system education, and the three-part Transfiguration Forgiveness Letter process.
Sessions may also incorporate Sound Healing and consciousness-based or metaphysical principles to help clients explore patterns, beliefs, old programming, and the ways they relate to themselves and the world around them. For those who desire a spiritual component, this may also include exploring their relationship with God, Source, a Higher Power, or whatever language feels most meaningful and authentic to them.
Services include individual coaching, individual and Group Brainspotting, private and group Sound Healing experiences, and virtual coaching. Sessions are client-led and tailored to the individual, with an emphasis on developing greater self-awareness, self-trust, emotional flexibility, and connection with the brain, body, and nervous system.
Awakening Metamorphosis serves clients in Auburn and throughout Placer County, California, as well as virtually across the U.S. and internationally.
Does Awakening Metamorphosis offer virtual coaching sessions?
2
Yes. Virtual coaching and Brainspotting sessions are available across the U.S. and internationally.
Whether you're local to Auburn, California, or connecting from somewhere else in the world, virtual sessions offer an opportunity to explore patterns, deepen self-awareness, connect with your inner knowing, and engage in your personal growth process from the comfort of your own space.
What is Brainspotting and how can it support self-discovery?
3
Brainspotting is a client-led, neuro-experiential approach that incorporates the visual field, focused awareness, and body sensations as part of an individual's process of exploration.
During a session, we may identify an eye position, or "brainspot," associated with an emotional, physical, or internal experience. While maintaining that point of focus, you are supported in noticing what naturally arises without needing to force an outcome, analyze everything, or retell every detail of an experience.
Brainspotting can provide a unique opportunity to become curious about emotions, sensations, beliefs, memories, protective responses, and patterns that may not always be accessible through conscious thought alone. Rather than the practitioner providing the answers, the process creates space for you to listen more deeply to your own experience and inner knowing.
Every person's experience with Brainspotting is different. Brainspotting is not a cure or a replacement for medical or mental health treatment, and research on Brainspotting continues to develop.
What is NeuroSomatic Integration Coaching and how can it support self-growth?
4
NeuroSomatic Integration Coaching brings awareness to the relationship between the brain, body, nervous system, emotions, beliefs, and patterns that influence how we experience ourselves and move through life.
Instead of the coach providing answers or telling you who you should become, the process encourages curiosity and helps you develop greater awareness of your own internal experience. Through practices such as Brainspotting, parts work, nervous system education, somatic awareness, generational exploration, and consciousness-based principles, you are given tools and space to explore what may be happening beneath familiar patterns.
The intention is to support greater self-awareness, self-trust, emotional flexibility, personal responsibility, and connection to your own inner knowing so you can make choices that feel increasingly aligned with who you are and how you want to live.
How can Sound Healing support relaxation, self-awareness, and connection with the body?
5
Sound Healing uses instruments, rhythm, vibration, and voice to create an immersive sensory experience that can invite relaxation, present-moment awareness, and deeper connection with the body.
Alyssa incorporates multiple Sound Healing instruments, including singing bowls, gong, drums, ocean drum, chimes, and her voice. Vocal toning is a particularly meaningful part of her approach and may be woven together with singing bowls and other instruments to create an immersive experience.
Rather than requiring you to talk through or analyze what you're experiencing, sound offers another way to bring attention into the present moment. During a session, emotions, memories, physical sensations, imagery, or simply a sense of relaxation may naturally arise.
Sound Healing can be experienced on its own or as a complement to Brainspotting and NeuroSomatic Integration Coaching. Each person's experience is different, and Sound Healing is not a replacement for medical or mental health treatment.
What does it mean that your approach is client-led?
6
Being client-led means that I am not here to tell you what you should feel, think, believe, or discover. I believe each person has the capacity to access their own inner knowing, and my role is to provide tools, curiosity, guidance, and a supportive space that can help you listen more deeply to yourself.
You remain an active participant in your process. Rather than forcing an outcome or deciding what something means for you, we stay curious about what your brain, body, nervous system, emotions, and internal experience are communicating.
The goal isn't for you to become dependent on someone else for answers. It is to strengthen your relationship with yourself, deepen self-trust, and become increasingly connected to your own inner knowing.
What happens if I need support outside the scope of coaching?
7
Part of responsible coaching is recognizing when a client may benefit from additional support beyond my scope of practice. If I notice that your needs would be better supported by a licensed therapist, physician, functional medicine provider, or another qualified professional, it is my due diligence to communicate that with you and, when appropriate, offer resources from my referral network.
A referral does not necessarily mean our coaching work has to end. Depending on your individual needs and the recommendations of the professionals involved, different forms of support can often work alongside one another while remaining within their respective scopes of practice.
I believe we are all in this together. Coaches, therapists, medical professionals, and other practitioners each bring different training and perspectives to the table. My role is not to try to be all of those things. My responsibility is to stay within my scope, recognize when another level or type of support may be beneficial, and help you connect with appropriate resources when needed.
Ultimately, the goal is for you to have a network of support that honors you as a whole person while helping you continue your journey of self-discovery, inner knowing, and personal growth.
