YOGA THERAPY
You've already tried thinking your way out of it.
Most people who find me have already tried a lot of things.
Therapy. Meditation apps. The book everyone recommended. Pushing through. Waiting it out.
And something is still not shifting.
Not because those things don't work — but because insight alone doesn't reach where the pattern lives.
The body does. This is where we start.
THE LENS
We don't start with what's wrong.
We look at patterns — in how you breathe, how you hold, how you respond — the ones that made total sense once, and now are just... in the way.
Body, breath, and lived experience as entry points.
Working across layers, not isolating one part.
One direction: more regulation, more coherence, a steadier sense of yourself.
WHAT THIS CAN TOUCH
Old coping patterns live in the body. They show up in how you move, breathe, and respond:
holding or bracing that doesn’t fully release
difficulty resting, even when there’s time
cycles of pushing, then crashing
disconnection from sensation, or feeling too much at once
tension patterns in the jaw, belly, or pelvic floor
breath that feels restricted, shallow, or hard to access
reacting in ways that feel familiar, but not fully chosen
Change happens when what your body has been holding is finally met — with space, pacing, and a different kind of support — and begins to reorganize.
WHAT CHANGES
You sleep through the night more often.
You don't pee when you sneeze.
The rage still visits. It just doesn't move in.
Feeling angry — instead of numb or anxious — starts to feel like progress.
You know how and where to channel it without casualties.
You rest without the guilt chasing you into it.
You have a wind-down practice that's yours — not borrowed from someone else's Instagram.
You know how to move through a carpal tunnel flare without white-knuckling it.
Your kids' meltdown doesn't faze you, and you can stay present and supportive.
You stop apologizing for reactions you couldn't see coming.
You feel like yourself — not the version that's holding it together.
You like your life more days than not.
HOW THIS WORK UNFOLDS
We begin with intention — getting clear on what you want to shift or move toward.
From there, we build the capacity to stay with what’s actually happening — in sensation, emotion, and experience.
This is where most people get stuck — not from lack of insight, but from not yet having the capacity to stay.
My job is to help you see your patterns more clearly — especially the ones that are hard to recognize from the inside.
From there, you have choice. As capacity grows, patterns begin to soften. Change shows up in how you move, relate, and respond in your life.
WHAT A SESSION FEELS LIKE
Sessions are collaborative and responsive to where you are.
We work directly with what's present — through movement, breath, and guided attention — noticing how patterns show up in real time.
I pay attention to how your system organizes: where there is holding, where there is depletion, excess, or activation.
From there, we work with what's already happening.
If your system is more withdrawn, we build gradually toward clarity and energy. If it's more activated, we start there, creating steadiness before asking for change.
Alongside this, we look at what you're taking in — physically, mentally, and emotionally — and how that shapes your experience.
Practices are tailored to you, with simple ways to continue between sessions. What you engage with between sessions — or don't — becomes part of the work.
The work isn't about getting it right. It's about building awareness, capacity, and a different way of responding over time.
WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
-
1:1 SOMATIC & YOGA THERAPY
Individual sessions tailored to your body, nervous system, and life context.
This is the core of the work — sustained, personal, and built around you.
-
REBIRTHING BREATHWORK
Conscious connected breathing guided by clear intention.
A single session can move what months of talking circles around.
Available individually or in small groups.
-
GROUPS & RETREATS
Spaces for learning, practice, and shared experience.
There's something that happens in a group that can't happen alone.
Not sure if this is the right fit? Good.
That's exactly what the intro call is for.
We'll look at what's going on in your life and whether this work makes sense for you.
You don't need to have it figured out — that's not the point of the call.
This is a place to begin learning the language of your body.
Because you deserve to understand it.
RATES
Money shouldn't be the reason this stays out of reach.
I keep two spots open each week at $85. We can talk about it on the intro call — no awkwardness about it.
