A portion of my weekly hours is devoted to pro bono work with end-of-life and grief clients, as well as ad hoc crisis work, for those in need through various organizations. Your paid sessions help make this possible.

Please note: As of July 2025, in-person multi-session packages are being retired. This shift reflects both rising NYC room rental costs and my intention to keep in-person work more flexible and sustainable. This change also allows for greater presence and integration across modalities. Thank you for your continued trust.

Please note: The above rates do not include:

• Group or couples private breathwork, meditation, or hypnosis in NYC (contact me for details)

• End-of-life emotional and spiritual support (death doula work)
  Contact me to see how I can offer support.

• Astrology consults

• Personalized (non-standard) 3-month or 6-month integrative containers

• Custom group events

• Courses like the donation-only Compassion-Based Resilience Training live program

As a somatic and holistic practitioner, I do not accept insurance, or rather insurance does not accept this work. But that’s importantly because this is not symptom management, diagnostic and pathologizing, or medical treatment. I work with fellow humans who have a desire to grow and transform through their own innate capacity for change.

Yes, sessions are available either in-person in New York City or online via live Zoom from anywhere in the world. In-person sessions occur in Midtown Manhattan.

This work is effective in either setting, but in-person sessions carry an additional fee to rent studio space in NYC.

Private groups, couples, or events are also available in-person in NYC, so please reach out and I’d be happy to discuss further.

Somatic healing is rooted in the understanding that the body—not just the conscious, thinking mind—holds memory, emotion, and lived experience. Unresolved trauma or emotional overwhelm can remain in the nervous system as implicit memory until processed, quietly shaping how we feel, respond, and relate in daily life, often without our awareness.

Emotions are physiological. Notice how you feel butterflies in the stomach when nervous, tears rising when sad, heat in the face when angry? These are the body’s natural ways of processing emotion: responses that happen physiologically and viscerally, below the level of intellect alone.

But when experiences are too overwhelming or life interrupts the natural process, the nervous system can become “stuck” in survival states like fight-flight-freeze. Somatic healing supports the body in reharmonizing by completing what was once interrupted, allowing for release, resolve, and return to presence.

This work engages the unconscious, which we experience most vividly through interoception (our inner sensations) and proprioception (our sense of movement and position). Modern neuroscience confirms that the unconscious shapes the vast majority of human experience, and that lasting change happens when we work with these deeper layers directly. By using the body as the vehicle for awareness and integration (so not just as a set of movements or poses) somatic healing helps us access, process, and transform what words alone often cannot reach.

Every session is unique as it’s about attuning to your body and inner world. Sessions are not a routine. Together, we create space to listen to inner signals, support your nervous system in finding balance, and safely process activation so true healing can unfold.

All of my work is grounded in neuroplastic change and trauma-healing methods that gently work with intensity in careful steps. This way, release isn’t just temporary catharsis but becomes lasting integration. I call this my signature process: Sense, Equalize, Express, Embody, and Distribute.

A session may include:

• Reflection & attuned dialogue

• Body awareness & tracking

• Movement & breathwork

• Gentle touch & self-massage

• Co-regulation & relational presence

• Parts work, self-inquiry, and visualization

• Stabilization & containment

• Safe emotional expression

• Inner insight and integration

The pace is always unique to your nervous system and grounded in compassionate presence. Some sessions are reflective, some more expressive, but all are collaborative and non-judgmental. Somatic healing sessions typically begin by creating safe stability and then gently widen into the space where activation and resolution can unfold.

Put simply: we listen, we feel, we complete, we integrate, and repeat.

I am a somatic practitioner who came into this work after years as a meditation teacher. I am not a licensed therapist; instead, I work integratively with methods such as somatics, mindfulness, breathwork, and parts work—approaches that neuroscience and trauma science now affirm, even though they remain largely absent from traditional mental health training.

My approach integrates somatic depth, contemplative wisdom, and the grounding of neuroscience and neuroplastic change. Modern research shows that trauma is often stored and resolved through the body’s implicit memory systems, while contemplative traditions have long understood presence and the unconscious as gateways to transformation.

This is holistic work, not symptom management or cognitive modification. Together, we engage the body’s sensations, impulses, and signals, allowing the nervous system to unwind at its own pace. Past wounds arise organically—not as endless discussion, but as felt experiences, insights, and shifts that can be processed and integrated in the safety of the present moment.

Because many patterns are preverbal and live below conscious thought, this work can reach what talk therapy alone may not. While somatic approaches and therapy can complement each other beautifully, they are distinct in both method and philosophy.

Importantly, healing is not only about revisiting the painful past but also about opening to the possibilities of the future. That’s why I weave somatic trauma work with psychosynthesis coaching, so the new capacity created through healing can be grounded into daily life, meaningful action, and direction forward. I believe lasting transformation lies in the delicate integration of both release and creation. Psychosynthesis is a spiritual depth psychology that merges timeless wisdom with modern psychology and is the original “parts work” modality, long before Internal Family Systems (IFS).

I will always let you know with transparency and care if my work is not the best fit for you at this time or out of my scope.

These aren’t talk therapy sessions with a few breathing cues, nor movement classes in disguise. Somatic healing, as I practice it, is a relational and attuned process that uses the body’s physiology as the doorway into unconscious patterns, memory, and emotion. It’s not about fixing yourself but about remembering who you are beneath layers of protection.

As somatic work becomes more popular, it’s often reduced to surface techniques. But true somatics isn’t just about poses or routines. It’s about cultivating presence so the nervous system can complete what was left unfinished, process unconscious material, and reveal its own innate insight. The body–mind connection is the vehicle for this deeper transformation.

My contemplative roots offer depth and the ability to truly work with the unconscious material, but I ground all of this work in neuroscience and neuroplastic change. My signature process—Sense, Equalize, Express, Embody, and Distribute—ensures that the shifts you experience don’t fade when the session ends but take root in your nervous system and daily life.

Each session is tailored to your nervous system, your goals, and your natural pacing. The process is one of listening, feeling, and integrating, supporting the body’s innate capacity to release what has been held and return to presence.

Trauma isn’t a pathology, but is an adaptive, protective response wired for survival. Healing trauma means restoring a sense of safety so you can be present with yourself again. Presence is the gateway back to your true self, because trauma creates barriers to the heart, which is inherently self-healing.

While trauma can stem from acute events (“big T”), trauma healing work also works with chronic, developmental, or relational wounding (“small t”) - the subtle yet lasting ways we disconnect from ourselves to survive. These survival strategies become protective identities that mask the authentic heart.

True healing supports the completion of what was once interrupted: stored impulses, repressed emotions, and unresolved stress. As we meet those parts with compassionate presence, the nervous system can slowly restore its natural flow.

Not everything in us is a trauma response, and it’s important not to reduce ourselves to that. But by honoring the ways your body and psyche once protected you, you can now choose a new path, grounded in safety, wholeness, and self-trust.

Even if you don’t resonate with the word trauma or wouldn’t describe yourself as having acute trauma, you may still experience overwhelming emotions, chronic stress, suppressed memories or feelings, unexplained tension or chronic pain, or grief. Trauma science is really about how the nervous system holds and resolves these states, so the same principles of healing apply. Whatever the name, true healing means returning to the body, to presence, and to your innate resilience.

Everything. True healing is a natural, human process rooted in spiritual wisdom and philosophy, long before therapy or treatment protocols existed. It’s not about fixing; it’s about remembering who you are beneath the layers of survival and defense.

Trauma, including unprocessed emotions, disrupts our life force and severs us from our authentic self. At its core, trauma is often a loss of meaning, a spiritual crisis. Healing restores that meaning through compassionate presence and alignment with the will of your heart.

Importantly, spirituality is not a means of escapism, future fixing, nor compulsivity; that’s delusion. Spirituality, to me, is you connecting to the reason you are here, your heart’s will. That’s the way.

All of the practices I offer are trauma-informed or trauma-healing, and adaptable. Whether you’re brand new, hesitant, or navigating a complex history, our work can be tailored to meet you exactly where you are. We can move gently, slowly, and begin with resourcing practices that support safety and attunement.

Before we begin, we’ll discuss over a consultation if the work is a good fit and you’ll also complete a health history intake form. We’ll review any relevant considerations together, especially for modalities like trauma-release breathwork, which may have specific contraindications.

Your well-being and readiness always guide the process. And if I believe my work isn’t the right fit for you at this time or out of my scope, I’ll always let you know with care and transparency.

If you have medical concerns or considerations, please consult your physician or treating medical professional. And for those currently on medication, always follow the guidance of your prescribing doctor, including when tapering (this is especially important).

I take my care for clients seriously and implement my own best practices, ethics, and client confidentiality. All personal information shared in our work together is kept private and I do not maintain session notes with client personal information. You’re welcome to ask me about my approach to ethics or confidentiality at any time.
