Relational OnFluency Approach
The makeup of your life is a series of relational experiences. By learning to connect attentively with our experiences and the nuanced structures that underlie, we become self-empowered in approaching relational change work. Two inspiring principles from Relational Neuroscience inform the OnFluency approach:
- Safe and responsive relationships support the developmental healing processes of the embodied brain, promoting health and well-being.
- Our brain’s ability to change in response to experience (neuroplasticity) is easier than we ever imagined.
OnFluency models a compassionate, empathetic presence to support you in developing relational fluency, understanding and relating with resonance to yourself and other people, moving you towards well-being

Supporting Methods
At OnFluency, Fluency for Feelings is at the core of everything we do. When untrained in reading your feelings and responding to them appropriately, your relationship to feelings might be an energy of fear that impacts your physiology and subsequently your health; Your ability to take care of yourself is limited. Self-care is essential for experiencing the energy of well-being and key to self-care is our relationship to feelings. We work with you to improve your relational energy via emotional literacy and fluency. The result is an ability to ‘read’ and relate to feelings in more beneficial ways, taking constructive action. You can read more about the OnFluency’s mission here.
In addition to Fluency for Feelings, the OnFluency approach incorporates a spectrum of healing modalities and techniques. Key principles from Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Emotional Freedom Technique support unconscious explorations. These techniques are applied after establishing an energy of mindfulness, the key self-care skill for increasing awareness and understanding of the relationship to one’s experience and the world around them. Learning and exploration of self-care skills takes place in the safe, relational space OnFluency provides, as we believe the therapeutic relationship itself is the greatest coach.
