Inward Journeys

About  me.

Through various inward journeying of my own, I have gained insight and appreciation for how simple practices, undertaken routinely, can enable powerful and lasting healing. My learning of bio-energetic touch and energy balancing techniques has increased my resiliency, awareness, and connection to a community.  My own journey has taken me all over the world. I grew up in Connecticut, USA, and have lived and worked for years in Scandinavia, Thailand, South Africa, and Rwanda. My education includes social and humanistic sciences which I use to advocate for positive social change. 

My training includes Polarity Therapy, Reiki (Okuden Reiki Level III certified), Hatha Yoga,  Cranio-sacral massage, Thai Foot Reflexology, Ayurveda, and mindfulness meditation. I am certified under a 200 hour Integrative Yoga Therapy and International Yoga Alliance registered program by BodyTherapies Yoga in Canada, led by Heather Greaves. This takes adopts a holistic, therapeutic, and energetically-aligned approach. I regularly explore and love to experience other healing arts including sound healing, theta healing, Access Bars, chakra balancing, and TRE, 

I studied polarity under Chris McGrath (AUS), Andreas Ledermann (CH), Birgitte Raihman (CH), John Beaulieu (US), Bruce Berger (US), and Shakti Smith (US). Polarity is a comprehensive system of hands-on healing based on a detailed understanding of the human energy field. I have been a member of the German Polarity Therapy Association  and regularly participating in International Polarity Education Alliance gatherings.

Our mission is to guide you to balance and to connect you to your unlimited potential. I love supporting others to undertake their own inward journey towards greater wellness, vitality, self-authenticity, and individuation.

I stand ready to faciltiate your process of healing, energetic awareness, and self rediscovery.  .

Inward Journey

At Church of the Saviour, the inward journey is not simply a solitary devotional path. Instead, it is a combination of practices designed to hold one’s center in the midst of conflict and competing demands for our time and attention. The inward journey is not only centering prayer and listening for God, it is also a journey of self-knowledge and restraint, of surrender and courage for non-violent action.

In 1953, the church purchased a farm in Germantown, Maryland, and in 1956 built a retreat lodge there, inviting people into periods of silence on the land. “The one journey that ultimately matters,” Gordon wrote, “is the journey into the place of stillness deep within one’s self. To reach that place is to be at home; to fail to reach it is to be forever restless. In contemplation we catch a vision of not only what is, but what can be. Contrary to what we have thought, contemplatives are the great doers.”

INDIVIDUAL PRACTICES

Individually, we expect people to practice daily study and prayer. We encourage journaling which may include attention to dreams, places of resistance and dislikes, intuitions and signs of call. In each mission group, there is a spiritual guide who receives a weekly written report which often includes gratitude, confession and prayers for others. That report is prayed over and returned at the mission group’s weekly meeting with one or two questions which might guide each individual’s spiritual growth.

We also expect people to go on silent retreat at Dayspring or other locations, where they can step away from the incessant demands of our culture and listen more deeply to the still small voice of God. In her book, Journey Inward and Journey Outward, Elizabeth O’Connor writes:

To stand in the silence within oneself, while at the same time relating to external events, is not an easy concept to grasp. It will also be understood differently at different stages of one’s life. At twenty, the course of life flows more easily outward. Forty might be the year of balance, and sixty an age when the movement is more inward. Such generalizations can be dangerous, however, since the tides of every life are different, and sometimes at twenty we have been prepared to receive words another cannot hear at forty, and may never hear These are helpful categories only if they teach us reticence, so that we do not burden the young with what they do not hunger for and therefore cannot receive – nor should we burden the old who do not want confrontation with an inner world.

In addition, we understand communal worship to “hold” the inward journey of all participants in a way we can barely understand. We take the sacraments seriously and understand core membership to be an ordination, so any core member may serve at the communion table. Many people understand their mission group participation to be the primary place for confession and struggle in written reports or aloud during sharing time, so communal worship tends to be a joyful and somewhat informal celebration of our life together.

Each community within Church of the Saviour reserves Dayspring Retreat for two communal retreats a year and we have found the experience of shared silence to be deeply nourishing for the community as well as for the individuals who are there.

Church of the Saviour lives out its call to the inward/outward journey together in different communities. Each has a distinct charism and style, but all share the tradition of deep commitment, listening for God’s leading, and servant ministry in the nation’s capital.

• Testimonial

Welcome to Journeys Inward

Craniosacral therapy and integrative bodywork.

Our bodies are designed to continually gravitate towards a dynamic state of balance and ease, but sometimes through injury, illness, trauma or misuse we forget where home is, and the functioning of our body becomes compromised.  Perhaps you had an injury that didn’t quite heal or you have this nagging sense that something is off, but every doctor and test says you should be fine.  Perhaps you’re recovering from trauma and are uncertain how to resolve the myriad of symptoms, or stress is draining your vitality.  It is from this place that we begin to question how to regain our well-being.  It is here that your journey inward, towards a greater sense of wholeness begins.

Healing is the process of recognizing our own limitations and evolving through them. It is a remarkable journey that invites change, ignites courage and ultimately unburdens the soul so that we may move through the world with an ongoing sense of wholeness, and a deeper sense of purpose.  This process permeates the physical, mental and emotional aspects of our being, and provides the guidance for what is needed to rediscover balance, function and ease.

A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. The Labyrinth represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world.

The labyrinth and the “journey inward” are both symbols of the healing process.  The journey inward is about building awareness, listening to the stories of our body, and letting go of what no longer serves us. The center of the labyrinth represents arriving home to our authentic self, into this broader and deeper understanding of who we are.  It is from here that we shed our preconceived limitations of body and mind and learn to access our innate gifts and talents.

To complete the journey we must now walk back into the world.  The path is the same, but our perspective has changed.  We have changed.  This time, as we walk back into the world we bring with us a sense of presence and connection to our self, to others, and to the world around us.  And life begins in a whole new way.

Organization Profile

This work is about rebuilding ourselves, our communities and our world. When the slave ships left the shores of Western African, men, women and children, our ancestors, were on board. There is an abundance of evidence that strongly suggests that the trauma, hurt, pain, and degradation to which our ancestors were subjected, was transferred from generation to generation all the way into the present. Mutated toxicity has evolved into forms of addictions, violence and disrespect infecting our families and communities. The Underground Railroad Training Odyssey takes you back to that time and space of our ancestors, brings you forward to the present, and moves you into a new & future. The journey is designed to open a person’s soul to the genuine possibility of true freedom and power and response-ability that come with it. Know this: Your Family needs you, your community needs you, most importantly, you need you. We need You! Make a difference today.

INWARD JOURNEYS THERAPY

Healing With Every Inward Step

Tonya Grieb, PsyD

Welcome to Inward Journeys Therapy! I'm excited to embark on this healing voyage together. I believe successful therapy happens in an open and non-judgmental space that combines evidence based practices, client-led perspective, and the 'here-and-now'. I specialize in mindfulness based parts and somatic trauma work for people who struggle with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, relationship issues, and PTSD. I work with adolescents through older adults and also offer couples and family therapy. 

“Knowing oneself comes from attending with compassionate curiosity to what is happening within.”

- Gabor Mate - 

A little about me.. 

I believe that all have the ability to heal. Whether that be from complex trauma, negative thought patterns, dysfunctional relationships, or anything else that life throws your way. Therapy is a helpful place to start this work. I work with adolescents to older adults in individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy. I work with people who have anxiety, depression, ADHD, personality disorders, which is rooted in trauma, eating disorders, and PTSD. I have trained in many different settings and have worked with a diverse patient population. From community mental health centers to college counseling to large hospitals, I have had an abundance of experience working with patients across the lifespan. I graduated with my PsyD in August 2023 and am currently pre-licensure and training under two psychologists in the Lakewood, CO area.

My goal as a therapist is to help you get to a place where you trust your inner voice and find a deeper and more peaceful sense of self. I work from an integrative perspective but my care is always person-centered and culturally sensitive. I use the following modalities and tailor each treatment to the client: IFS/parts-work, psychodynamic, CBT, interpersonal psychotherapy, Emotion Focused Couples therapy, and mindfulness. I also offer Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAP) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. 

Services Offered 

I offer a free discovery call to assess your needs and get to know what type of therapy is the best fit. Just submit a contact form to get started! I am currently taking new clients (sliding scale available upon request) and also offer student discounts for those in need.

I offer the following services and tailor the treatment to your specific goals:

Meet Your Therapist

​ wisnu meier, ma, ncc, lcpc.

I am a licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience. I earned my Master of Arts degree in Human Development Counseling from Bradley University. My clinical experience includes providing counseling in school, college, and residential treatment programs, as well as in private practice, and hospital settings. I have also provided counseling through Employee Assistant programs and conducted corporate training on the topics of stress management, conflict resolution, diversity in the workplace, dealing with depression, and customer service for local businesses. I have taught workshops on a variety of topics, including legacy writing and mindfulness. I also specialize in methods for integrating grief and loss into our lives. I co-authored "A Journal for the Grieving Heart--A Slow and Gentle Journey Through Grief Toward Healing and Growth," a workbook inspired by my own experience with a profound loss.

My Philosophy

It is my intention to provide a safe and supportive environment for you to take an inward journey to discover your higher Self.  When you learn to be quiet and still, you will be able to connect with your internal compass and inner wisdom which will help you navigate though life's challenges. The solutions are within you.  I will help you become more aware of that. Once you are aware of your own strength, there is nothing you cannot overcome or achieve.

Born and raised in Indonesia, I also incorporate the Eastern philosophy I learned in studying martial arts and classical Javanese dance.

Inward journeys

Laura vignoli.

Hypnotherapy Practice

First hypnotherapy session

For our first session we will need a bit more time to get to know each other. That's why the initial session takes two hours.

Regular hypnotherapy session

Once you have done your first session, following sessions normally last an hour and a half but we can book longer sessions if needed.

  Before meeting Laura I had a completely misinformed understanding of hypnotherapy. It has been a very useful tool in learning to understand the more subconscious parts of myself and has helped me move forward in a time when I felt very stuck. Laura has a gentle and nurturing nature that immediately puts one at ease. I felt safe opening up to her in the sessions and always left knowing that all information shared would be kept confidential. Thank you Laura!   Cami, South Africa

  In order to heal, we have to take a journey inside us and into our past, where usually, we refuse to go. Laura has a real gentle way in guiding you there, and help you encounter your path into your healing journey... She has an amazing gift, and I will keep seeing her so she can help me explore and understand this journey better...   Elena Da Cruz, Argentina

  Laura is incredibly skilled in her craft and engages with a kind heart. She guided me through a discussion around a subject that has been the source of a lot of fear and anxiety for a couple of years and helped me to see a new perspective that was instantly empowering. I highly recommend a session with Laura to anyone who wants to explore ways to free themselves from old thought patterns.   Amy, USA

  I had the privilege of working with Laura Vignoli last year during a particularly painful period in my life. I was coping with PTSD (post traumatic stress syndrome) brought on by the shock suicide of my life partner. Laura helped me clear a path to see more clearly the emotional blocks that were obstructing my ability to heal more and what was holding me back from my desire to write. Laura has a gift of deep insight, natural empathy and exceptional skills as a hypnotherapist. She gently talks you through the session, how the process works, what is required from you as a client and what to expect. Each time Laura took me to a deeper state of hypnosis I felt safe and cocooned. Her warm, encouraging voice, coupled to her loving kindness and innate skills allowed me to relax into the session and release my trauma. She helped me find myself again. I cannot recommend Laura too highly.   Trish, South Africa

  Before going for a session with Laura, I had tried one session of hypnotherapy, and I could experience how helpful hypnotherapy was with a breaking up process that I was going through at the time. The session with Laura surprised me in a very positive way. She used a different technique of what I had experienced before (which was the best for that moment) called “parts therapy” which as I understand, it consists in getting in contact with the different parts of ourselves that pull in different directions but that aren’t obvious for our conscious mind. At the moment I was struggling with having the will to do the things that I wanted to do, and Laura helped me realise that there was a part of me that was getting a benefit from not doing what I really wanted, and therefore she guided me to be able to integrate the different parts inside of me so there wasn’t an inner struggle anymore. Laura has a innate ability to guide you through the subconscious mind in a really respectful way and help you realise what is the core of the issue that you are dealing with and gives you practical tools to empower you to solve the problem. I felt very safe with her and I encourage you to try this incredible experience with Laura!   Gabi, Uruguay

  I came across Hypnotherapy after a self-hypnosis workshop where I learned about this technique. It gave me a powerful insight into how I could go beyond my analytical mind and rooted beliefs and fears. My sessions with Laura revealed this is a great way to combine meditation and self-reflection through the guide and support of a skilful practitioner. Laura’s mindful combination of traditional therapy tools and various hypnosis have been invaluable, allowing me to overcome challenges at work (unblocking my writing potential) and stay centred and clear through very emotional personal situations. I highly recommend Laura to anyone wishing to deal with a particular issue, or to have hypnotherapy as one of the many tools available to us to look after ourselves.   Diana, Colombia

Research on what's the hypnotic trance

This article explains that there's strong evidence showing that the hypnotic trance is a separate neurophysiological state. Research is still needed to identify all the potential uses for this special state of our mind.

What does hypnosis feel like?

This articles describes really well the typical experiences felt in a hypnotherapy session. Although is focused on addictions it applies to any other situation.

Roy Hunter interview

In this interview Roy Hunter talks about some of his experiences as a hypnotherapist using different techniques, including parts therapy and the use of the client's higher self part.

About the Business

Thanks for inquiring about Journeys Inward. For 25 years I've specialized in helping people resolve their heath related issues so they can get back to enjoying a rich and full life. The specific techniques that I use are CranioSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Low-Force Myofascial Release and Somatic Trauma Resolution. I have found all of these techniques to be highly effective yet gentle forms of bodywork that help to identify and unwind tension patterns that are often at the core of illness, chronic pain or unresolved injury. Some of the health challenges I treat are: Traumatic head and spinal cord injuries, Migraines, Repetitive strain, Fertility issues, Pregnancy/Postpartum care, Whiplash, TMJ, Pre/post surgical care (including dental work), Digestive Issues, SIBO,Chronic Pain and Musculoskeletal Issues, Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. I see clients in Oakland and San Francisco. I welcome any questions and I'm always available for free phone consultations. …

I really enjoyed my sessions with Moon! She is lovely and the massages are incredibly relaxing. In fact, the only reason why I can't give her 5 stars is because it's really hard to book an appointment with her... I tried to see her regularly, but sometimes her next open appointment was more than a month away. So while I'd strongly recommend working with her, I'd also suggest you look for another practitioner for those times when she is not available. (Thanks, Moon. I enjoyed our conversations. I'm leaving SF and I'll miss you!)

Moon is amazing. First off, she is super grounded and centered, which is a fantastic quality in a healing practitioner. She is also extremely knowledgeable about the body and has an amazing technique to her work. It's so subtle that you can wonder if anything is happening, but as soon as you start to see and feel results, it's evident that there are major shifts occurring even though her touch and manipulation is quite gentle. I have a massage background, and the kind of work she does is eventually the kind of work I want to do (as it's super effective & easy on the practitioner's body). I came to her having a pretty bad low back issue, and in one of the sessions I experienced a huge release of energy from my low back/2nd chakra area that had me feel like I had taken a hallucinogen for about 5-10 minutes (I was completely sober). It felt like all the stuck energy in my low back had been freed. For a week or so after, the pain actually increased (it felt really sore), but after that, the pain was gone. And I've still never had the same type of pain there that I had initially been suffering from. It was incredible! Honestly, I cannot afford Moon right now as I'm on a strict budget, but if I could, I'd be on her table every week -- that's just how good she is (and worth the $), and how much my body responds to her work. Highly recommend her! Plus she's just a really cool woman - very easy to talk to & a good listener. She also clearly walks her talk - she is in incredible shape & exudes health. Miss you Moon & one day I'll be back!

A couple years ago I herniated a disc in my lower back that resulted in nerve problems down my left leg. A little over a year ago I had surgery to correct it, which initially seemed promising but left me with back pain and stiffness that had not been there prior to the surgery. I've been to lots of different massage therapists, lots of acupuncture, seen a physical therapist, the works, and pretty much all of it would help for a day or so, and then the pain and stiffness would return. So when I made an appointment with Moon, I just figured it probably couldn't hurt and I might feel good for a day or so. I left the first session with Moon amazed at how much better I could feel. She is incredibly skilled at detecting what's going on in your back, neck, spine and head just through touch, and she's able to make gentle suggestions that allow your body to open areas that are locked down. Over subsequent sessions with Moon, she's given me the tools to start to recognize how to open up and relax on my own. It has literally been life-changing because the results last.

Moon came to my rescue when I was in a desperate situation and has offered me immeasurable support in the seven years since that day. I was suffering from nausea and vomiting during my first pregnancy. Acupuncture offered some relief but on the day I met Moon, it had helped for a mere 20 minutes. I was having an awful migraine on top of the nausea and I felt completely helpless and hopeless. Not knowing how else to help, my husband suggested that I do a google search for cranialsacral therapy since that had been a favored type of bodywork of mine. I found Moon's listing and called the number. Miraculously, she answered the phone! And had an open slot that very afternoon! Such a thing had never happened to me before, nor since. I left that session feeling such a sense of relief at having found a kind and gentle practitioner to help me. I cannot remember all the ways that she helped me during my pregnancy and beyond, but I can say that Moon has helped me to stay healthy and sane as a working mom with chronic pain from an old spinal injury. She recommended wonderful practitioners who ultimately aided me in the home birth of my healthy son. Moon has many talents that her faithful clients benefit from, but it is her kindness that is truly a blessing for us. In all that she does, her devotion to helping others in whatever way she is able sets her apart from the rest.

I have seen Moon weekly for about two months. I initially went to see what kind of impact her work would have on some chronic tension that I have had as long as I can remember in my neck and shoulders. I was surprised at the depth and the effectiveness of the craniosacral therapy. I have noticed a number of shifts, including an overall increase in relaxation, and much better sleep. Also a general improvement in my energy and an opening in some stuck parts of my body, hips, shoulders, ankles, etc.. The tension in my neck and shoulders is almost completely gone. Moon has a quietness and a depth and a way of holding that seems to allow the body to self-correct almost magically. Very, very good work.

I have had many types of bodywork done to help in crisis moments with my chronic upper back problems. I first received body work from Moon during a crisis moment. Moon's craniosacral method of healing is so effective that I have begun to see her on a regular basis (once a month) to rid my body of this chronic imbalance. It is working! I have experience an increased range of motion, changes in my posture, and a feeling of over all balance that wasn't there before. Moon's holistic approach to health, diverse knowledge of healing technologies, and her extensive training and experience has culminated in a rich skill set for healing. I give Inward Journeys 5 stars!

Moon speaks the truth with her hands. Highly recommend seeing her.
