Sessions

  • My sessions are designed to promote greater ease and well-being in your body and mind.

    There are two facets to each session:
    (1) Somatics (body-based awareness practices rooted in polyvagal theory), and
    (2) Traditional East Asian therapies.

    We typically start each session with a bit of conversation and some body-based awareness exploration. From there, we move to the table, where I provide “needle-free” acupuncture and other forms of gentle bodywork.

    These sessions are interactive, collaborative, and easy-going.

  • “Somatics” is a field of study and practice centered on the body and its relationship to the mind.

    “The body keeps the score,” as they say. When we deepen our capacity to “listen” to the body and to make skillful adjustments, we can bolster the healing process.

    I sprinkle somatic explorations throughout our sessions. These exercises help to nurture your body-mind system, so that you’re not working against yourself.

  • My primary modality is “needle-free” acupuncture, where I use a small tool called a Teishin that rests on top of acupuncture points. You can learn more about this approach here.

    I also might incorporate gentle bodywork techniques, like Qigong Tuina or Sotai, as well as moxibustion. And in some cases, I provide classical Chinese herbal remedies.

    During the treatment, you remain clothed while lying comfortably on a massage table. (Please wear loose garments that allow access your belly, knees, and elbows.)

  • I help clients feel more regulated, resourced, and resilient.

    You might be experiencing conditions like:
    • anxiety, panic, worry, fear, perfectionism, or obsessiveness
    • depression, dissociation, isolation, sadness, or grief
    • anger, rage, irritability, or volatility
    • insomnia
    • trauma
    • addiction
    • musculoskeletal pain
    • headaches
    • digestive disturbances
    • menstrual or menopausal challenges
    • allergies

    I do not accept medical insurance at this time.

  • It depends! Some folks need more support, some need less. C’mon in for a session. Once I get a feel for your particular presentation, I’ll let you know how frequently I’d recommend coming in.

  • In my Zoom sessions, I guide you in somatic inquiry practices to promote ease and well-being.

    (These online sessions cost the same as in-person sessions.)

  • Qigong (pronounced “chee gung”) is a form of mindful movement, similar to Tai Chi. It’s a great way to help you get out of your head and into your body.

    While I don’t incorporate Qigong into my sessions unless requested, I’ve created a self-paced, online Qigong course called Elemental Movements. Learn more about it here.
