Working Together

The somatic journey I take you through is a journey of self-empowerment. I guide you to explore your internal landscape—the language of your nervous system as well as your spirit. Sessions with me are a journey of cultivating deeper connection with the inner wisdom that exists within you.

We invite your awareness to go beyond just your thoughts and beliefs, which can be important but can also easily keep us stuck in a loop. In these sessions we open up access to other channels of experience: physical body sensations, imagery or sensory impressions, emotional expression, and behavior (such as voluntary and involuntary gestures or postures). This gentle, explorative process allows your nervous system to gently release bound energy from stress or trauma, restoring your capacity for connection, clarity and flow.

As you heal what is stuck and learn to know the language of your system and your inner wisdom, you will gain a new or deeper awareness of your longings, your needs and the voice of your intuition. You will also receive practices to support yourself beyond our time together.

My Experience + Approach

I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), bringing into sessions the transformative teachings, principles and techniques of Dr. Peter Levine’s life work. Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) is a profound approach to healing the impact of chronic stress and trauma as well as processing stress as it comes on a day-to-day basis.

I am also an empowerment coach (Certified Life Coach) bringing in ways to inspire you to find your own answers, make decisions that resonate with your authentic Self, and reach your intentions and goals.

I have a BA in sociology from Kenyon College, which continues to inform my awareness and understanding of context—we are not isolated beings on an individual journey, we exist in context, in social and cultural (and even spiritual) landscapes that play into our experiences.

Getting Started

If you’d like to explore if this healing and empowering approach is for you, we can start with a 20 minute call (free) and/or an hour-long introductory one-on-one session (at cost).

If we decide to work together, I require all new clients to commit to weekly hour-long sessions for a month (4 sessions total) to give space to the process. After that, you’re welcome to book single sessions or session packages at a discounted rate.

Keep in mind that healing and experiencing sustainable shifts in your system takes time. I recommend 2-3 months of weekly sessions. From there, we can continue with weekly sessions, conclude or pause, or consider shifting to every other week or a different schedule.

The investment:
In-person: $95/session
Online: $110/session

I offer payment plans and take a few clients at a time who need a sliding scale. If money is the reason you don’t seek support, please reach out to see what we can arrange.

When we empower ourselves, it emanates outward. We can deepen our relationships and heal our culture by starting with ourselves.
