Sessions

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

    I offer three types of sessions:
    (1) Acupuncture + Somatics
    (2) Acupuncture-Only
    (3) Somatics-Only

    Here are descriptions of the three types:

    (1) Acupuncture + Somatics sessions include a needle-free acupuncture treatment, along with somatic practices rooted in polyvagal theory. These sessions are great for anyone seeking greater mind-body harmony.

    (2) Acupuncture-Only sessions feature a needle-free acupuncture treatment. They’re shorter and focused entirely on balancing your meridians.

    (3) Somatics-Only sessions are entirely focused on somatic practices. I draw on my training in Tao of Trauma and Somatic Experiencing to help you feel more regulated, resourced, and resilient.

  • “Needle-free acupuncture” is a form of Japanese Meridian Therapy. I start by palpating your body to find the “pattern” of imbalance. Then I provide a treatment using my hands and a small tool called a Teishin that rests on top of acupuncture points. The goal is to balance your meridians.

    Needle-free acupuncture is gentle, comfortable, and effective. You can learn more about this approach here.

    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.)

  • “Somatics” is a form of bodywork that emphasizes internal perception.

    “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.

    In my Somatics sessions, I draw on my training in the Tao of Trauma and Somatic Experiencing systems to help you nurture your nervous system and unwind patterns of trauma, anxiety, depression, and more.

  • When we’re feeling more regulated, resourced, and resilient, we can heal in so many ways!

    My clients come to me with a wide range of mental-emotional and physical concerns. 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

  • Initial Session: $110
    • Up to 75 minutes
    • An initial session is a prerequisite for any of the three types of follow-up sessions.

    I do not accept medical insurance at this time, but I do offer a limited number of reduced-price sessions for those who are unable to afford the full price. Feel free to ask me about this!

  • 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.

  • My Zoom sessions are Somatics-focused. I draw on my training in the Tao of Trauma and Somatic Experiencing to help promote ease and well-being in your body and mind.

    An initial online session costs $110. A return online session costs $100.

  • 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.
