Work with Me
Our one-on-one work centers on helping you develop a trusting relationship with your body and nervous system. Through nervous system education, conscious breathing, and mindful movement, we'll partner with your body's intrinsic wisdom.
You'll learn about your autonomic nervous system and discover your unique nervous system patterns. We'll develop your neuroceptive awareness - recognizing your internal cues of safety and threat - and explore your window of tolerance to help you respond effectively to a greater range of emotions and sensations.
My role is to guide you in learning to listen to your body through sensation, at a rhythm and pace that feels sustainable for you.
Each session includes:
Nervous System Education
Each session, you'll leave with more education about your nervous system and practical tools for bringing awareness to your body's signals. Over time, we learn more and more about both general nervous system principles and your unique patterns - what your individual nervous system is communicating and what it needs.
Conscious Breathing
Together we will explore breathing practices tailored to what your system is seeking.
Mindful Movement
Together we will sense the connection between posture, thoughts, and emotions as we move and breathe through various yoga postures and sequences tailored to your unique nervous system.
Orienting & Centering
We begin by developing awareness of your body, mind, emotions, breath, and energy level to understand where your nervous system is today. Together, we'll set an intention that supports your practice.
Vagus Nerve Stimulation
The vagus nerve is a powerful part of our parasympathetic nervous system that can help bring us into a relaxed, connected, alert state. We'll explore techniques that vary based on your preferences and needs.
Integrative Rest
Each session will close with rest, giving you time to absorb the new patterns that you created in your practice and to access the inner wisdom that can be found deep within you.
What to Expect
You'll complete an intake questionnaire that starts with your strengths - what brings you joy, what helps your body feel calm and safe, and what you aspire to develop in our work together. We'll then have a 15-20 minute consultation call to connect personally and answer any questions, so you already feel like you know me when we start our first session.
Every 60-minute session follows the flexible framework above that adapts to your needs:
