New Coordinators

 
Randi Love

Randi Love, US

Mentoring Coordinator: Jeffrey Morrison
Supporting Coordinators: Julie Ramsey and Dawn Flynn

As a young child Randi found herself significantly attuned to the nuances of the felt sense in the listening-speaking interaction. After a 25-year career in the field of speech-language pathology, she returned to graduate school for a master’s degree in counseling psychology.  Randi lives in California where she maintains a telehealth counseling practice. Randi joined Jeffrey Morrison’s training program in 2013 and continues to co-teach with Jeffrey at the Seattle Focusing Institute. Her personal practice is very much influenced by the teaching of Russell Delman, who combines Zen meditation, Feldenkrais Movement Through Awareness, and Focusing Inquiry.
