somatic & spiritual mentorship ✰ energy work ✰ body temple dance
Psychotherapy + Somatic Parts Work
a blend of talk therapy, somatic parts work, compassionate witnessing and practices to slow down and tune into the body’s wisdom.
Sessions can look like regular talk therapy with a somatic twist, meaning the body is where we go to find solutions instead of the mind. Hey, no shade to the mind, we need its wisdom, too, but we often override the body’s wisdom for the story of the mind and end up missing out on general relief, insight, and play! We also honor the reality that sometimes the body just wants to be seen and heard (I mean who doesn’t?) and there is no single “answer.” In somatic therapy, we learn to relate to ourselves, not dominate, so we can learn how to be a better friend to this cosmic earth angel of a body.
$185 for an hour session. Sliding scale options available upon request. Don’t let cost be prohibitive, especially if you think working together would serve you well. Please reach out and we will figure something out.
Body Temple Dance
a movement practice unlike any other with a blend of shamanic writing, guided postures, intuitive movement, and structured rest.
Sessions can look like 1:1 guided experiences tailored to your needs and what you’re currently practicing or private group containers where we get to explore the benefits of taking our dancing-in-the-kitchen practice out into the world with others also wanting the healing support of community. Some of the feedback about this practice include participants feeling like they can finally release points of tension that regular stretching couldn’t quite reach. BTD-ers also report feeling like they finally have the support to meet their edge in terms of being seen moving organically and authentically in the company of others. Folx also share they feel more connected to a sense of play, possibility, and general aliveness after leaving BTD sessions and classes. You just have to experience this for yourself and get intimately aware of the healing power of your moving and grooving magnificent body!
No previous dance experience necessary. This practice is trauma informed and inclusive for all bodies, ages, and backgrounds.
Breathwork
a blend of pranayama (breath practices from yoga), a deep understanding of nervous system regulation, and somatic body awareness practices.
Sessions can look like being guided to lay down and receive a deep breath. You’ll be invited to tune in to the level of sensation to connect with movement, image, emotions, and meaning making channels in the body.
Energy Work
a blend of reiki, nervous system regulation tools, and compassionate witnessing.
Sessions can look like lying face up on a massage table to receive gentle hands on loving touch to support energy flow and mood stabilization. Depending on what you're coming to me for, you may lie face down to receive a better understanding of your body’s system through gentle touch on the back. Gentle hands on touch involves creating holds with the hands on or around different parts of the body that are calling for attention, only to be engaged with consensually and with deep presence. Can be done in person and virtually (distance reiki).
My rate reflects the time, money, and energy I put into my education, ongoing trainings, and workshops that support me in becoming the best facilitator I can be. My rate also reflects investing in myself as a practitioner, meaning routine acupuncture, body work, retreats, and energy healing to support my vessel in being able to support you!
