Caroline Goddard, Core Energetics Practitioner in Richmond, Virginia

In-Person vs Virtual Appointments With a Core Energetics Practitioner

In Person Core Energetics Sessions

Each in-person session with Caroline is unique, tailored to your individual needs. While each session is intended to support your short-term and long-term goals, they also follow the natural flow of your thoughts, feelings, and energy. This allows the process to evolve organically based on what happens in the moment.

Typically, an in-person session follows this structure:

Attunement: We begin by tuning in to your current emotional state and creating more body awareness.
Focus: Together, we determine what you would like to focus on, whether it’s an emotional issue, a thought pattern, or a physical sensation that is present for you.
Discussion: We’ll talk briefly about what you’re experiencing or exploring, helping to clarify and deepen your awareness of an issue.
Physical Expression: We then work toward finding a physical expression of any thoughts or feelings around an issue. We use movement, vocalization, breathwork, and other physical interventions to process and release stuck emotions.
Integration: We conclude by helping you integrate your experience, reflect on what you’ve uncovered, and explore how you can carry those insights and shifts into your daily life.

Virtual Sessions

You don’t have to be in Richmond to work with Caroline. Virtual Core Energetics sessions will offer you the same depth of experience as in-person sessions: we will attune to your present state, focus on your intentions, discuss your experience and how it fits into your goals, and then guide you in finding a physical expression of what’s present. Virtual sessions offer a flexible and convenient alternative to in-person sessions.

In the three years I’ve been seeing her, she has helped me work through blockages, gain powerful insights, and find acceptance of my many facets. She is kind, thoughtful, understanding, and pleasant. I always feel heard and safe. I’m so grateful for this work and for the most wonderful person to guide me through it. Thank you, Caroline."

"As someone who was unsure about therapy all together, Core Energetics has truly opened my eyes to the ways in which our body & mind are connected. To be able to understand and move energy is a powerful thing! Caroline is so patient, kind, and comfortable. I did not think I would be able to share more than ‘I’m fine’ when asked. She is so intentional in her listening and though she pushes in ways that have helped me grow, it’s always been in a way that I have control of the pace! Cannot say enough great things about Caroline & Core Energetics."

“I’ve been working with Caroline for a few years now. I always find valuable insights in our work together and she always listens with a nonjudgemental ear. She has helped me to notice patterns in my life that I was blind to. She has helped me create practices in my life that change those patterns.”

—R.O.
“I’ve been seeing Caroline for a year now and I’ve never been happier with a therapist! I’ve been in therapy for about ten years collectively and she’s by far my favorite. She is professional and personable which is hard to find both of in a therapist. She is accommodating with scheduling and her space is very comforting and inviting! I am extremely pleased with the results I’ve achieved from working with her.”

—J.S.

“I’ve been seeing Caroline for over 8 months now. She has helped me get through some very tough times in my life. My previous experiences with counseling have been catastrophic. Caroline is nonjudgemental and very patient with my healing. The core energetic and somatic method is almost magical. I have had pain that increases with challenges and frustration for over 10 years. Caroline helped me search inside and find what is bothering me. I work through it physically. I always leave my sessions in less pain.”

—M.J.
“I am so grateful to Caroline for the endless ways she provided skillful support for an entire year for Next Generation Core Somatic Training. The students felt held by her compassionate listening, wisdom, and guidance, and the faculty knew she had their backs. She led high spirited warmups, facilitated people through challenging transitions, helped students get a handle on the theory, stepped in to provide examples, and created a safe, confidential space that allowed people to do the deep transformational work they came to do. Interning for Core Energetics trainings is not for the faint of heart, and Caroline stepped up to the challenge.”
