Somatic practices help you tune into your body's wisdom and nervous system responses and sensations.

Instead of just thinking your way through challenges, you learn to include your body's intelligence in navigating what life is showing you .

As you continue to practice this work with me an in your life, you’ll create more expansiveness and authentic responses to whatever comes your way.

Therapists do incredible work processing past experiences and diagnosing mental health conditions. Somatic coaching focuses on practical tools to address what's happening in your body right now that feels stuck helping you build capacity for this moment, and future challenges. Some clients do both and find they complement each other beautifully.

Sometimes events happen when we are little that cause fear. Maybe a caregiver didn’t or couldn’t notice, or may not have had the emotional room to help our little selves understand a confusing experience. This work teaches tools to help move the fear from a place of immobility to flow again.

Capacity fills when we are intentionally nurturing, attend to discomfort and from this place begin to notice what other support is available in this very moment.

I'm trained as both a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) and Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP) practitioner. I also bring 20+ years of lived experience navigating disconnection, mistakes, and finding my way back to myself. I have decades in the creative industry understanding the vulnerability of putting your art into the world.

You can try a 30 minute consult at no charge to assess fit, and we’ll evaluate along the way if different or additional kind of support could be helpful.

Each session is tailored to what's alive for you that day. We might work with a place of activation in your nerous system if you’re struggling. We’ll also tend to where there’s support her in this moment so your nervous system can register safety, and ease.

We’ll notice if there’s any numbness here and be in relationship with the nuances of that place.

We’ll keep being interested in what your body is showing us. Increasing your tools for awareness, sensation tracking, movement that helps stuck energy find completion, and integration practices for your daily life.

Not at all. This work supports anyone wanting to live with more ease, confidence, and authentic expression. We all have stress responses that could benefit from completion and integration, whether from major events or daily life pressures.

Trauma robs us of our certainty our security, our agency. The beautiful reality is we can work with these deficits and their resulting impacts and create more space in our bodies. This is where true resilience lives.

Group Containers are intimate, ongoing experiences (6-12 sessions) with carefully selected participants for deep transformation work. Community Workshops are single-session events open to everyone, focused on skill-building and community connection with no long-term commitment.

This varies greatly from person to person. Some clients find significant relief in just a few sessions, while others work with me regularly for ongoing support. We'll check in regularly about what feels right for you, and there's no minimum commitment required.

You can direct the frequency and number of sessions to meet.

Absolutely. Stage fright is your nervous system trying to protect you from perceived danger. We'll help it learn that sharing your gifts can actually be safe and joyful, transforming fear into excitement and authentic expression.

That's completely normal and exactly where we start. Many people live disconnected from body sensations, me included. It took me coming back to being curious and kind to begin to see and appreciate the absolute magic that my body is displaying.

Part of this work is gently learning to notice and interpret your body's signals without pressure or judgment.

Some signs this might be a good fit:
1. You feel heard and not judged.
When you share you notice your coach or therapist is not trying to fix you.

You can sense over the course of several sessions there is empathy, trust and mutual respect growing. You have an increased sense of being able to show up exactly as you are in sessions without feeling external pressure to conform.

2. You leave with something useful at the end of a visit. Maybe you’ve learned something about yourself, perhaps you’ve got a new tool to try on that you’ve already explored a little in the session. Maybe it’s a reframe to a challenge that’s been sticky. You can feel forward motion happening in your life.

3. Your sessions include a gentle nudge to provide honest reactions. Your feedback is so important to a coach or therapist so they can adjust their approach to what you need.

4. You’re not just sitting in your comfort zone during sessions. The invitation to grow is not forced or manipulative but an invitation to stretch. The only ways we can grow is to sit with a little bit of discomfort that doesn’t feel pushy. If you leave feeling curious that’s a good sign!

5. Meeting times & days fit your life with ease. All the details matter when it comes to developing a relationship with someone who is there to support you. Is scheduling straightforward? Are the time frames and days available conducive to your professional and personal life?

6. You’re slowly more and more real. This is a big one. Can you be more and more authentic in this relationship? If you find you’re able to share parts of you that aren’t easy to share, that is a good indicator there is more trust developing.

7. The reason you wanted to try this therapy is starting to bear fruit. You might not have known what your goals were when you started, but perhaps they are more clear now, and or you’re aware of some other goals coming into view. You can see progress and it’s exciting!

If the relationship feels flat, strained or stuck, it’s not anyone’s fault. Sometimes it points to the fact this isn’t a good fit. Fit is personal and you get to change your mind!
