AN INTEGRATIVE CENTER FOR SELF-MASTERY IN THE HEART OF DES MOINES, IA

OUR APPROACH

Healing happens in layers. It unfolds at your pace, in your timing, and in relationship. At Inner Space, we blend evidence-based therapeutic practices with somatic, intuitive, and experiential modalities to help you reconnect with your inner world and reclaim your inner authority.

Our approach at Inner Space is trauma-informed, relational, and deeply human. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, spiritual emergence, or the quiet ache of simply being overwhelmed, this is a safe place to land and explore.

 

A HOLISTIC, INDIVIDUALIZED THERAPY EXPERIENCE

 
 

This integrative approach ensures healing doesn’t just make sense, it lands in the body, mind, and soul.

Every session is tailored to your readiness and your system, creating space for what wants to be seen, released, integrated, or transformed.

Therapeutic & Somatic Practices May Include:

  • Trauma-informed emotional processing

  • Nervous system regulation + polyvagal principles

  • Somatic work, mindfulness, gentle breathwork

  • Inner child + parts work

  • Archetypal, ancestral, and identity healing

  • Journaling + integration practices

  • Energetic alignment + spiritual expansion

  • Psychedelic experience integration

  • Intuitive tools (tarot/oracle upon request)

  • Optional access to Inner Space Tech Therapies

 

WHY INNER SPACE?

We don’t believe in treating symptoms in isolation. We believe in supporting the whole person.

Integrative Therapy at Inner Space is grounded in presence and supported by access to healing modalities, including:

  • Body-based tools for nervous system regulation

  • Integration practices such as journaling, mindfulness, and breathwork

  • Optional use of Inner Space’s tech therapies to deepen your experience

This integrative approach honors both your cognitive understanding and your somatic (felt) experience, so that healing doesn’t just live in your mind, but lands in your body too.
