Through investigations of sensation, image, artistic exploration, breath, and sound, I collaborate with my clients in their individual sessions.

​

Together, we support their bodily awareness, mindful presence, emotional and physical well-being, creative practices, and interpersonal relationships.

 

​

Somatic Education and Therapy, fields including many different disciplines of body-mind-spirit, help people to access awareness, resources, creativity, and healing through our bodies.

​

These practices uphold the belief that our lived-experiences of the world reflect our inherent dignity, validity, self-authority, and belonging. 

 

That we hold wisdom and resources in our very tissues. 

 

That our bodies possess an innate orientation towards well-being, and that within a supportive container, we can regain access to well-being, autonomy, agency and vitality. 

 

They invite us in to connection with our bodies and their rhythms and our interconnection with one another and to the rest of the more than human world. 

 

This work underscores the exploration of movement practices as means of healing, self-discovery, playful exploration, artistic expression, and self-care.

​

Individual Client Sessions can include:

​

• Underscore our senses of agency, purpose, dignity, and belonging
