It is difficult to specify the number of sessions without first meeting. I want to have a clear sense of what you are looking for, as well as understand how your body is holding balance and health. I like to suggest that we commit to an initial four sessions. Then, together, we will explore our options.

Somatic Therapies do not hurt. Each modality can be gentle or subtle and, simultaneously, very profound. Some patients feel waves of energy, tingling, heat or a sense of chill. Sometimes the patient will experience a jerking sensation as their body releases shock. Some patients fall asleep, and others describe their experience as “traveling.”

Our first session is an intake session. If we are to work together, I will need to understand your goals, as well as which modalities you have experienced in the past, and for how long. I will ask a few other questions, and this is your opportunity to ask me questions as well. From there, we can decide if and when to schedule our first working session together.

After our initial intake session, a typical session begins with a short check-in and the setting of an intention. The session continues via a bodywork modality, with you lying down or sitting comfortably, and is held within a container of safe space.

A session runs approximately 90 minutes. Typically, the first session, or intake, runs a bit longer in order to obtain a complete history and clarify your intention for coming.

I have been conducting remote sessions for 20 years. The principles of a virtual session are the same as that of an in-person session. When you slow down and become a neutral field, the two of us are able to enter a state of stillness together, called “coherence.” Whether I am in the same room or on a screen in front of you, I can perceive movement in the body. I will gently guide you through the process. Some patients actually prefer virtual sessions to meeting in person. It is a great option for babies because they do not need to be taken out of the home.
