1:1 Coaching

What would coaching with me look like?

I trust your system. Sessions are centered around your vision, priorities, and what your body-heart-mind communicates, including number of sessions and frequencies of sessions. I am committed to supporting to your highest self.

I see my role as a facilitator and that your system knows the map to your healing. I believe when activation (our triggers) are met with enough regulation, change is the only thing that can happen. When we experience activation without enough internal or external resource, we’ll likely re-experience existing patterns. Neuroscience tells us our brain’s default is to experience each moment more through the lens of our history (with our learnings and expectations) than from the here and now (of actual sensory input). Slowing down and noticing sensation, imagery, impulses, faint background thoughts and emotions can help us connect to these numerous history colored lenses. Once the implicit is made explicit, we gain degrees more freedom. And the neural networks that hold these learnings can be updated and changed when enough electricity is running through them simultaneously with a subjectively disconfirming knowing, all held with enough witnessing and compassion.

My work is most influenced by Somatic Experiencing and IFS informed parts work. I believe we are fundamentally good and intrinsically worthy, and that every challenge, irritation, and joy can lead us back to our light that can sometimes be covered over.

I set aside a portion of my practice for lower cost sessions. Please feel free to reach out if cost is a concern.

I offer Somatic Experiencing with Bodywork and Bodywork only sessions. Somatic Experiencing looks at the nervous system’s contribution to tension through sensation, imagery, impulse tracking, affect and body dialogue. SE with Bodywork is especially helpful for releasing chronic on/off patterns of discomfort or pain. The bodywork techniques I most use are deep tissue, myofascial release, and trigger point work.
