Frequently Asked Questions

This work may be a good fit if you’re wanting to feel more connected to yourself, understand your patterns, regulate your nervous system, heal from difficult experiences, or explore your inner and spiritual life. You don’t need to have a specific diagnosis or problem to begin.

The free consultation is a chance for us to meet, talk about what’s bringing you here, and see whether my approach feels like a good fit for you. It’s also an opportunity to ask questions and decide what kind of support might be most helpful.

No. You don’t need any previous therapy, meditation, yoga, or somatic experience. We begin wherever you are and move at a pace that feels supportive for you.

That’s completely understandable. You don’t have to arrive knowing what to say or having everything figured out. We can start simply by slowing down, getting oriented, and noticing what’s happening for you right now.

Somatic facilitation is a body-based approach that supports greater awareness, nervous system regulation, healing, and personal growth. Rather than telling you what you should feel or do, I help create a safe and supportive space for you to listen to your own body, experience, and inner wisdom.

While conversation is part of our work, we also pay attention to what is happening in your body, nervous system, emotions, and present-moment experience. The intention is not only to understand your experiences intellectually, but to gently explore how they are lived and held in the body.

Body-based means we include your physical experience as part of the process. We may notice sensations, breath, movement, tension, impulses, emotions, or shifts in your nervous system, allowing the body to become another source of information and awareness.

Yes. Somatic work can support people in developing greater awareness of their nervous system, building capacity for regulation, and gently processing experiences that may feel stuck or unresolved. We work at a pace that honors your individual history, needs, and capacity.

Sessions are tailored to what you’re experiencing and what you want to explore. We may work with nervous system regulation, Somatic Experiencing®, meditation, movement, breath, guided inner journeys, or contemplative practices, always allowing the work to unfold at a pace that feels supportive.

There’s no set timeline. Some people come for support around a specific transition or period of their life, while others choose to work together over a longer period as they continue to deepen their relationship with themselves.

Yes. 1:1 sessions are available both in person at Vikara Center in Rosarito, Mexico and online via Zoom.

I support people navigating trauma and difficult life experiences, overwhelm or disconnection, life transitions, nervous system dysregulation, relationship with self, and questions around meaning or spiritual growth. You don’t need to arrive with a specific problem; sometimes the desire to feel more connected to yourself is enough.

Ongoing Somatic Sessions offer continued support for trauma healing, nervous system regulation, self-awareness, life transitions, and spiritual growth. A Somatic Medicine Journey is a more focused and extended process that includes preparation, guided inner exploration with sacred medicine, and integration support.

Community classes offer a shared space to practice, learn, and connect with others through meditation, yoga, kirtan, and integration circles. 1:1 sessions are more personal and individualized, allowing us to work with what is specifically arising for you.

Retreats create space to step away from everyday life and go deeper into practices of presence, connection, healing, and self-exploration. They draw from many of the same foundations as my 1:1 work while offering the added support of community, shared practice, and immersive time together.

Yes. Our classes and retreats are open to people who are new to my work, unless a specific offering has different requirements. You don’t need to have previous experience to participate.

Yes. I offer support before and after sacred medicine experiences, including preparation, somatic support, reflection, and integration. This work is grounded in respect for the individual experience and focuses on helping you listen to what your experience may be inviting you to understand, embody, or integrate into your life.

Transpersonal facilitation means making space for the full range of human experience, including the body, emotions, mind, relationships, meaning, spirituality, and experiences that may feel larger than our ordinary sense of self. It allows room for mystery and depth without requiring you to adopt a particular belief system.

I see the body and nervous system as an important part of our spiritual lives, not something separate from them. When we develop greater capacity to be present with ourselves, we can often experience more connection, meaning, groundedness, and openness to our own inner life.
