You bring a question. It could be regarding your desires, your direction, your needs, your truth. Together we will explore it.
-
I think of 1:1 work as a form of inner world exploration. Sessions are for emotional clearing, truth telling, building courage and cultivating your voice.
Maybe you are crossing a particularly challenging threshold in life, experiencing a relationship ending, developing a creative project that is close to your heart, working with a sticky limiting belief, or simply hoping to chat with me.
One-on-one supports movement — whether that is the movement of emotion, building clarity, or accessing release.
-
Sessions open with a short guided, body-based practice to shift from the pace of the world, to the pace of noticing, feeling and being together.
We will explore why you are here, and what you are carrying. I may ask you questions, reflect to you patterns, or invite you to explore blocks.
We will transition into active guided breathwork for the middle of the session. Sessions end with five minutes of journalling and active listening.

I often work with therapists, writers, artists, runners, highly sensitive people, women and the LGBTQ+ community.
My clients are often path driven individuals pursuing unconventional lives.
-
I work intuitively and draw on a variety of practices that in my experience, can bring us deeper into the layers of our reality. I often use chanting and other forms of vocalization to explore the charge behind certain language, words, sentences, or feelings. I use somatic mindfulness techniques and may draw your attention to certain areas of the body, based on where I am experiencing sensation. As a writer and former therapist, I am highly informed by the idea of “story” and appreciate “parts work” as a model.
-
Sessions are 50 minutes in length.
-
I use several different breathwork and meditation techniques including:
conscious connected breath or circular breathing
two-part breath similar to Dirga Pranayama
alternate nostril breathing or Nadi Shodhana
insight style or Vipassana
Xi breathing
visualization

My approach:
I believe deep listening, without an agenda, can bring forward healing and transformation. This kind of listening Thich Nhat Han has called “compassionate listening”. My approach as a facilitator is to practice compassionate listening, and to “listen with the ears of the heart” (Saint Benedict). I also do my best to remain attuned to my body, especially areas like the throat, the stomach and the chest, while listening — as this can sometimes provide insight into areas of the body where clients are experiencing physical/emotional blocks.
I frequently invite clients to shift out of a conversational pace, to slow down, and begin paying attention on a sensory level to what is emerging. In my experience, somatic work requires “exiting” the narrative mind and beginning to drop in to another form of conversation that is happening at the level of the body.
Rather than “intellectualizing” or “advice-giving”, my facilitation (both during the breathwork and our dialogue) is primarily informed by this form of listening and present-moment exploration of what may be “in the room” with us—especially what is often less perceptible.
