"I don't say 'aging' I say 'staging'..." "'cause it's about the stage we're in...' --Victoria Platt
OKAY??? That's how we rollin' on this talk!
Today's riff is Our Personal Pathways: A Talk with Victoria Platt.
Welcome to Episode 118 of the Roll With Peace, In Mind podcast!
We chat about coming into your own, perimenopause symptoms and how she's flowing with them, mindset, being in your body, "aging" mindfully and all that good stuff!
Victoria Platt is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), an Innerlight Energy Balancing and Mindfulness Therapist, a Minister at Christ the Resurrected Church in Los Angeles and a certified Anusara Yoga Facilitator. Her wellness business, iElevate ME Inc., was created out of a Spirit driven urge to assist all bodies in re-membering their minds, bodies and spirits, to experience more wholeness, joy and liberation in their lives. Victoria's beginnings were as an actor, singer and dancer in New York City, performing on stage, film, tv, commercials, print, voiceovers, etc. from the age of 6. She still moves in the realm of entertainment as she is called to do so.
She found that the work she does as an artist and the work she does in wellness have strong and powerful common threads; self-awareness, transparency, courage and a willingness to play and be curious. Blending the tools of somatics and mindfulness with the creative exercises of performing was an easeful jump and her workshop UNCOVERY™ was created. In 2023, Victoria created ALL OF ME SEEN summer camp™, a 3 week arts and mindfulness summer camp that teaches 6-13 years old the toys (tools) of self-regulation and somatics through yoga, voice, dance, art and science. Along with holding sessions for individuals, couples and groups, Victoria also offers donation-only virtual yoga classes weekly. Victoria is a lead facilitator for the Mindful Leaders Project, teaching self-regulation and mindfulness through breathwork, movement, meditation and other tools. She has facilitated courses for the faculty and staff of Pasadena Unified School District in California, providing tools to help foster healthier relational dynamics between students and staff/faculty through addressing how unconscious bias begins, and ends, in the body, and also facilitated classes in somatics and mindfulness for the parents of Riverside County held by The University of LaVerne Center for Neurodiversity and Riverside County, CA.
Since 2020, Victoria has been a part of Communal Consult workshops and the Foundations in Somatic Abolitionism program, taught by the author of My Grandmother's Hands, Resmaa Menakem. Through the work she’s done with Resmaa Menakem, her study of Reich and Lowen Therapy and sitting at the feet of her Spiritual Counselor, Rev. Dr. Charles O. Brown (Doc), Victoria has begun the process of cultivating Spiritual Somatic Abolitionism - an ongoing unfolding process of aligning the mind, heart and body in order to transcend from the physiological and psychological state of existence into the Spiritual realm of experience.
