Question 1

What does a session with you look like?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are a blend of verbal and nonverbal processing, with the opportunity for movement, stillness, silence, and real-time somatic practice. You can expect to walk away with a deeper felt-connection to yourself and some somatic tools and practices you can work with on your own time.

Question 2

How much does a session cost?

Accepted Answer

My standard sliding scale rate for a virtual session is $100-200; in-person session is: $140-240. I occasionally have Equity & Accessibility spots available at a pay-what-you-can rate. Please reach out if you're interested in one of these spots.

Question 3

Are sessions in-person or virtual?

Accepted Answer

I offer both in-person and virtual sessions. My work is conducive for both types of environments. (I find that there can be a sweet intimacy in engaging with this work in the comfort of your own home). My in-person sessions typically take place at WildHeart located in the lower Hudson Valley, though I can make in home visits available depending on your location.

Question 4

Tell me more about the way you work with somatics.

Accepted Answer

As a Registered Somatic Movement Educator & Therapist, I prioritize the body as the primary source of awareness. “Soma” translates to “living body,” emphasizing how we sense ourselves internally. In my role as a facilitator, I guide awareness to inner feelings and sensations within the body, encouraging clients to respond to their natural feelings and impulses through movement. My goal is to assist them in uncovering their genuine, authentic expression hidden beneath social and cultural conditioning. Movement serves as a potent tool to awaken sensation and broaden our understanding of our inner world through outward expression.
​
Somatic practices employ various methods to connect awareness to felt sensations, including shifting attention, movement, touch, and sound. This approach to the body facilitates the conscious awareness of what was once unconscious. With a renewed understanding of our inner experiences, we can alter habitual patterns, address implicit and explicit traumas, and transform our perceptual experience.

Question 5

What makes your sessions integrative?

Accepted Answer

I do not follow a single method ⎯ I draw from years of training across disciplines weaving together various practices and philosophies. What matters most to me is not abiding to a script or single framework, but to engage in deep listening, intuition, and the ability to meet what’s actually happening in real time.

No two sessions look the same. We might work with awareness of sensation, with movement, with imagery, with parts of you that haven't had a chance to speak. The work is shaped by what comes forth moment to moment, what is most alive, and what unfolds.

Some modalities I learn with and draw from are: Somatic Therapy, Authentic Movement, Contact Improvisation, Modern & Contemporary Dance, Mindfulness, Jungian Philosophy, Creative Practice, Performance Practice, Nature, Parts Work, Dreams, and Prayer.
