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.
-
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 doing doing sessions that combine Somatic Experiencing with bodywork. If that is interesting to you, I can provide pricing.
-
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.
“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”

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.
