What is Internal Family Systems?

Transformative psychotherapy… and empowering paradigm.

Internal Family Systems is a powerfully transformative, evidence-based model of psychotherapy.

IFS is a transformative tool that conceives every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts lead by a core Self. We believe the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing.  Our inner parts contain valuable qualities and our core Self (the you who is not a part) knows how to heal, allowing us to become integrated and remember our inherent wholeness.

Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal. 

IFS cultivates a window of tolerance and psychological acceptance because a central tenant in the paradigm is that ALL part are welcome, and have benevolent intentions.

But IFS is much more than a non-pathologizing evidence-based psychotherapy to be used in a clinical setting. It is also a way of understanding personal and intimate relationships. Professionals from many different backgrounds such as legal mediation, school administration, life coaches and yoga teachers may utilize IFS to inform and guide their work.

IFS is a movement. A new, empowering paradigm for understanding and harmonizing the mind and, thereby, larger human systems. One that can help people heal and helps the world become a more compassionate place.

  • “It allowed me the healing and strength that I needed at the time to come up for air and I began to feel more empowered and balanced. I became a better healthier version of myself and it slowly rippled onto my family.”

  • “My body was physically constricted as my upper back and neck were tight and compressed. In child’s pose, I began to shine the back of my heart and started clearing the debilitating grief that weighed me down.”

  • “My heart is open and expansive. My grief remains but it isn’t debilitating.”

  • “Death and grief have become fuel that generate curiosity, therefore I explore deeper… I will always feel sorrow as it is the counterpart to joy. I allow myself to feel and cry but I am now able to shift the emotion so that it doesn’t consume me. I balance grief with gratitude.”

  • “Shortly before I began my work with Kali, my husband and I lost our first pregnancy at 9 weeks. I entered the training vulnerable physically and emotionally. I was heartbroken and uncertain of whether I would have the stamina to attend and be present through the training. Kali encouraged me to trust the timing and I believe God brought me to this immersion experience for a reason. Kali's gentle nature welcomed me exactly where I was and through the teaching and meditation I was able to press into my suffering and begin to heal. Our meditation sessions allowed me to acknowledge the mother within me, to accept that she is and will always be a part of me, and that my baby is and will always be a part of me. I am thankful to Kali for her wisdom and guidance in acknowledging and cherishing this and every, precious human body.”

  • “Kali is an ancient gentle soul that balances authority with softness so well. Her wisdom offers so much, yet she is approachable and has answers to everything.

  • “Thank you for nourishing my spirit, for the permission to sit with my mother-self and the little one and all the other roles of self, and to not allow my sorrow to go unattended. Your wisdom helped me grow into myself in such a meaningful way. Big growth.”

  • “I met Kali during a very vulnerable time in my healing journey, since then this work has played a huge role in me returning to myself again and again.”

  • “I am so incredibly grateful to do this work, to be aware, to have the opportunity to change my belief system and to clear so many of the dysfunctional patterns in my lineage and those which showed up in my marriage. A mirror of what I needed to clear in myself so I can now stand whole in my own love and ready to embark on my biggest adventure yet! I thank you from the bottom of my heart, another example of the universe providing me with what I needed before I needed it. Yin has been such an emotional safe haven for me to unravel these last parts of transformation and release.”

  • “I had spent many years following a calling to better understand yogic tradition, Buddhist philosophy, trauma healing, and the brain-body connection. This training made everything make sense. Internal Family Systems(IFS) has now been ingrained into my every day life. I met some of my parts and began to understand the complexities of the entities that dwell within us, often created at a young age to protect us and keep us safe. Working with some of my “loudest” parts has changed everything. I feel like the healing journey this has brought me on has either healed, ended, or helped me navigate the patterns that have showed up as lessons throughout my life. This lens helped me understand WHY I do the things I do and also helped me to understand why others do what they do, thus having a more compassionate understanding as to how people walk through the world.”
