I do not accept insurance, or rather insurance does not accept me. I am not a therapist and do not treat symptoms or pathologies. I work with fellow humans who have goals.

Yes, for somatic or breathwork sessions, I offer in-person sessions for those in the New York City area and who prefer to meet in person. These sessions, along with my other offerings, are also all available online from any location.

If you're in the New York area and interested in group work, please reach out and I'd look forward to discussing private groups or events for meditation and/or breathwork.

Please note that in-person sessions have a higher rate as it is increasingly more expensive to rent space in NYC.

I teach trauma-informed practices that can be adapted to a range of experiences and needs. Thus, I can work with anyone on meditation, mindfulness techniques, and functional or corrective breathing exercises, going as gently as your history and present moment experience requires. We can even begin with more active or dynamic practices, so there is a range of ways we can approach this work.

For somatic and trauma-release oriented breathwork, there is a health history form you will need to complete, including reviewing contraindications which may determine that it's not a safe fit for you. We will always begin by discussing this form and what work and approach suits you best. You should always consult your primary care physician if unsure about your specific medical situation of course.

Sessions and pacing are always unique to each client and their own nervous system, so I work with more stabilizing somatic techniques like Somatic Experiencing before moving into breathwork or brainspotting if and as needed.

Please reach out using the contact form above for any questions and I'd be happy to help!

No, coaching and therapy are separate modalities. Coaching has more of an emphasis on conscious action and goals. My sessions are not the fluffy motivational kind of coaching though and my foundation is psychosynthesis, so is not superficial or just about hyping you up. My work is about exploring who you are before anything that's happened to you or before life's conditioning and opening fully to all your complexity and letting your intuition guide you.

Psychosynthesis in particular is about integrating the lower unconscious shadows and traumas with the higher unconscious ideals and future aspirations, and this is largely my approach.

I am not a psychologist, licensed therapist, or psychiatrist, and these services do not substitute for medical care or medical treatment. I work with fellow humans who have goals.

The Cyclical Seed is alternative and contemplative, holistic healing, so not traditional by design. Aside from coaching, with somatic healing and presence work, this is true healing because it’s not about just talking and treating. It’s about presence and feeling; fully being human.

If I don't think my approach would be a good fit or there is something out of my scope of work, I will be up front and kindly let you know.

Check out the About page for just some of my trainings and certifications, as I take working with clients and continuous learning seriously and ask me about my self-implemented best practices and client confidentiality.

Somatics is the understanding that the body holds memory, emotion, and lived experience, not just the mind. Unresolved overwhelm or trauma can live in the body and shape how we feel, respond, and relate, often without us realizing it.

Emotions naturally flow through us, finding resolution when we allow ourselves to experience them in the right balance, using the body as their vessel, while supported by co-regulation, safety, and compassion. Notice how you get butterflies in your belly when you’re nervous, teary eyed when sad, flush when angry, etc.? These are the body’s physiological responses to emotions moving through us. 

Trauma overwhelms the nervous system and prevents our natural physiological response to the experience to complete. This makes the autonomic nervous system rigid, stuck in the experience of the past, and the life force of the individual unable to freely express. So somatic healing empowers our innate ability to resolve and thus release trauma and/or repressed emotions on its own, shedding those defensive blocks and returning to our true self or to a sense of more openness, alignment, connection, and presence.

Somatic healing work is a “bottom up” approach that taps into our innate self-healing, whereas talk therapy is considered a “top down” approach.

Somatic sessions encourage self-attunement and emotional resolution through a series of movement, breath, reflection, sensation tracking, co-regulation, and gentle exploration, supporting the body in processing and integrating stored experiences.

Trauma is not a pathology but rather an adaptive, self-protective response designed for survival. Healing trauma is about restoring a sense of safety—so you can be present with yourself and your experiences. Presence is the gateway to returning to your true self, as trauma creates barriers to the heart, which is inherently self-healing.

Trauma can be acute, arising from specific events ("big T trauma"), but what we often call "trauma healing" is, at its core, the essence of all true healing. If it's not trauma healing, it very likely falls under personal development or coaching, even if you’re seeing a therapist for it.

Trauma fundamentally involves an inability to be fully present, with layers of protective identity forming in response—survival strategies that cover the heart. "Small t trauma" is often rooted in developmental experiences from early life, which can be subjective or objective. For many, childhood experiences contain both "big T" and "small t" trauma, but the impact remains the same: a disconnection from presence and one's authentic self.

Our natural impulses in response to trauma need to be expressed, just as the emotions we've suppressed deserve acknowledgment. When these impulses are given space, the autonomic nervous system can complete its cyclical process. Completing this cycle requires feeling what was originally suppressed—and we do that through compassionate presence.

By releasing stored impulses, discharging physical tension, and resolving repressed emotions, we shed layers of identity and reconnect with the heart—our true self, which is both self-healing and resilient.

That said, not every aspect of ourselves is merely a trauma response, and it's unhelpful to label everything that way. Instead, let this understanding be liberating. Recognize that your nervous system and attachment responses once worked to protect you. And now, if you're ready, you can choose something new.

Note: Whether or not you resonate with the term "trauma," you may connect with the effects of chronic stress, repressed emotions, unprocessed grief, or overwhelming experiences. No matter the framing, healing is about returning to the body, to presence, and to your capacity for resilience.

Everything. All real healing comes from spiritual practices and from philosophy, not from the therapy space which later adopts them. Healing is a natural process innate to the human experience, not a treatment or a protocol that only a therapist and drugs can save you from.

Trauma, inclusive of unprocessed overwhelming emotions in this context, disrupts the flow of life force and disconnects us from our true self at our heart as we form layers or barriers of defense, protection, compensation, and identity, all preventing us from being present as parts of our system are still in the past. At the core of so much trauma is a loss of meaning and that’s an inner spiritual crisis. Ultimately, all ways of healing have roots in mysticism traditions and contemplative self-healing practices. This is the universal and eternal wisdom of compassionate or loving presence and aligning with the will of your authentic heart.

The religions and spirituality are meant to be psychological, and psychology and therapy are meant to be spiritual. Both have lost their way.

If you are not what happened to you, if you are not what you had to be or how you used to feel, and if you are not your thoughts, then who you are?

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.
