SEP™ serving Sebastopol, Santa Rosa, West County & remote clients across the globe
Offerings
Nervous system support for anxiety, panic, depression, attachment & stored trauma. Together, we meet your nervous system and build capacity for safety, getting to the root that lives beyond words.
Using the Somatic Experiencing method, we track sensations, emotions, and movement impulses to help your nervous system complete interrupted responses and discharge stored trauma.
This is for you if: You feel stuck in fight/flight or shutdown patterns, your body holds tension that talk therapy hasn't reached, you experience anxiety, panic, or hypervigilance, you have unexplained physical symptoms, you're ready to work directly with your nervous system.
Session length: 60 minutes
Suggested rate: $150-180
Suggested commitment: Weekly sessions for 3-6 months minimum - nervous system regulation requires consistency and time to establish new patterns
Somatic Experiencing Sessions
Craniosacral Bodywork
Hands-on nervous system restoration and trauma healing to rebuild trust with your body. Gentle, trauma-informed bodywork that supports your nervous system's natural healing capacity. Combines massage, craniosacral therapy, and somatic awareness.
This is for you if: You crave healing touch in a safe container, experience chronic pain or tension, want to rebuild trust with your body, recovering from medical trauma or procedures, need nervous system support through touch, want to go beyond what words can do.
Session length: 90 minutes
Suggested rate: $140-170
Suggested commitment: Bi-weekly sessions for 2-3 months initially - bodywork builds trust and healing over time
Youth & Family Support
Age-appropriate nervous system work for kids and teens. I offer Somatic and mentorship work for ages 12-25; and gentle, play-based nervous system support for ages 5-12.
Sessions often include outdoor time and activities that help children and youth reconnect with their natural resilience.
This is for your child if: They are experiencing big emotions or behavioral challenges, dealing with trauma, loss, navigating identity questions or life direction, major life transitions, dealing with social pressures or school stress, struggling with anxiety, sleep issues, or attention difficulties, needing support that honors their natural wisdom, needing mentorship from someone who understands both personal and social justice, you want an approach that strengthens rather than pathologizes.
Parent/caregiver involvement and consultation included
Session length: 45-60 minutes for children, 60-75 minutes for youth
Suggested rate: $100-130 for children, $120-$150 for youth
Suggested commitment: Weekly sessions for 2-4 months - children respond quickly but need consistent support to integrate changes
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The best way is through our free 20-minute consultation where we can explore what your system is calling for. I'll ask about what you're experiencing, what you've tried before, and what feels most alive or curious for you right now. Your body and intuition often know what type of healing container would serve you best. If you're drawn to multiple approaches, that might be a sign that the Integrated Path option would better serve your needs.
-
Sessions take place at my serene land in West County, near the town of Occidental. The space is designed to support deep healing work, surrounded by redwoods, oak trees, and natural beauty. For land-based sessions, we'll walk various hiking spots in West County or sit in specific spots that call to us. The setting itself becomes part of the healing container.
-
Yes, I offer sliding scale pricing for a limited number of spots each month. This is for those experiencing genuine financial hardship who are committed to the work. Please mention your need for sliding scale during our consultation so we can discuss what's sustainable for both of us.
-
Absolutely. Many clients benefit from combining approaches - perhaps starting with somatic work and later incorporating ritual or land connection. However, if you're interested in having fluid access to all of my modalities, consider the Integrated Path option. This custom blend gives you access to my full range of abilities for one investment, allowing us to weave together whatever your healing journey calls for.
-
Individual session rates range from $100-250 depending on the type and length of session. Please see the specific rates listed above for each modality.
-
Healing happens in layers and often in ways that aren't immediately obvious. You might notice better sleep, less reactivity to triggers, increased capacity to feel joy, or a sense of coming home to yourself. Some changes are dramatic and immediate, others are subtle shifts that accumulate over time. We'll check in regularly about what you're noticing, and I'll share observations about changes in your nervous system and energy. Trust your own sense of what feels different - your system knows when healing is happening.
The Integrated Path
A healing space built for you
Can't pick just one? Most people benefit from blending more than a single modality. This monthly container weaves together Somatic Experiencing, bodywork, ritual, land connection, and ancestral guidance into one adaptive practice, co-created with you.
While choosing a singular modality can serve specific needs, some healing journeys benefit from the full breadth of what's possible. This is for those ready to work at the intersection of somatics, spirit, land, and ancestry - with the flexibility to call upon different modalities as your system guides.
What It Includes
Somatic Experiencing sessions
Bodywork and craniosacral therapy
Ritual design and ceremony
Land-based healing walks
Divination and ancestral guidance
Grief work and threshold support
Justice-informed healing practices
Healing that Goes to The Root
“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”
—PETER LEVINE
This Might Be For You If…
You've done talk therapy and while it helped, you know there's more. Your body still holds tension that words can't reach. You find yourself repeating patterns you swore you'd break. Your nervous system feels stuck in old responses even when your mind understands what happened.
You might be dealing with:
Chronic pain or illness that doctors can't fully explain
Repeating relationship dynamics despite your best efforts to change
Ancestral patterns you can feel but can't name - the same struggles your parents and grandparents faced
Grief that feels bigger than the specific loss - like you're mourning something ancient
A sense of disconnection from your body, the land, or your own intuition
Trauma responses that therapy helped you understand but your nervous system still carries
Spiritual hunger that traditional counseling doesn't address
Feeling called to something larger but unable to access it through conventional healing
You sense that your healing needs to happen at multiple levels - not just mental and emotional, but somatic, spiritual, and ancestral. You're ready for an approach that honors the complexity of what you're carrying and doesn't try to fit your healing into neat categories.
You know that real transformation takes time and you're willing to invest in a process that meets you where you are.

We will collaborate and assess the modalities most effective for getting at the root of what you’re working on and keep fine tuning, seeing what’s creating shifts along the way.
-
Each persons system and journey is unique but many clients experience more access to a range of emotions that move fluidly through their bodies. More presence, focus and ability to have more agency of reactions in complex situations.
-
4-6 months is a good window to create lasting shifts, I ask clients to commit to three months and then we can assess at the three month marker and make a plan and goals from there.
-
Traditional talk therapy tries to access your healing through the mind. The blend of modalities I use are directed at your whole being creating lasting healing for mind, body and spirit.
-
This offering allows clients to go deep into their healing path and shift long held patterns and survival strategies. It allows you access to all the modalities I offer in a focused, curated way that gets to the root of what you’re. working to shift.
This deeper level of partnership requires both greater investment and mutual commitment to the process. We'll design containers of 6 or 12 months that honor both the depth of this work and the time transformation needs.
