Do you find yourself:

• staying silent when you want to speak

• overriding your instincts

• experiencing moments of overwhelm

• adapting to others at the expense of yourself

• dismissing your physical and emotional needs

• overthinking small decisions

• becoming obsessively fixated on people or activities

• not going after your dreams

• second-guessing yourself

• suffering from physical pain or discomfort without obvious cause

Do you want to:

• Be a full participant in a process of learning to trust yourself, accessing the full range of your feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and physicality in the process?

• Be followed and guided in a process of change with honest loving reflection, attuned touch, and a balance of challenge and play?

• Attend weekly or biweekly touch-based sessions that support you in accessing novel states of embodied experience?

• Learn tools for stopping self-limiting patterns so you can move through life with more pleasure and ease?

The problems you face won’t be solved through verbalizing, rationalizing, analyzing, finding a quick fix, moving to a new place, breaking up with your partner or getting a better job.

The problems you face are patterns wired in your nervous system that once helped you stay safe but are no longer needed. You don’t need saving and there’s nothing wrong with you. You need support identifying the patterns that hold you back and an embodied process of increasing your energy and attention in order to move through what scares you. Just talking about it won’t get you there.

I am trained in seeing these patterns and helping you become conscious of them through the body and mind. In the process of becoming conscious and increasing your level of energy and attention you gain the ability to unlearn the patterns that keep you stuck. All of this happens through somatic awareness, the mind is on board but not in control.

With my training as a Grinberg Method practitioner and psychotherapist I offer a rare combination of talk and touch to help you:

• recognize what your body and mind are doing in real time

• achieve silence and relaxation

• allow pain and fear as experience

• interrupt automatic reactions

• feel clearer internal signals (yes / no / not sure)

• act from a more grounded place of self-awareness

• build trust in your own perception and responses

Somatic Bodywork Session

In one session we can relieve physical pain, transform emotional pain, increase levels of silence and relaxation, and expand breath depending on what is needed.

Cost: This session is valued at $200. If you cannot afford this, I offer a sliding scale of $120-200.

For those who live further afield I can support you getting in touch with emotional experience through guided somatic exercises and pattern exploration in 60-minute zoom sessions. We can meet regularly or as needed.

Cost: These sessions are valued at $100. I offer a sliding scale of $65-100.
