SOMATIC
EMOTIONAL HEALTH COACHING
We are map makers. Meaning makers. Cartographers of our own bodies, lives, and spirits.
The body is a tape recorder; it replays what it knows, and if what it knows is a lack of safety, hypervigilance, chronic stress, or overwhelm, our default—physiologically—is to have those trigger responses armed and ready. It is a primitive somatic intelligence that is, in its design, attempting to keep us safe.
The seemingly objective mind carves thought grooves as deep and steadfast as ancient rivers; we make meaning of our experiences, tell ourselves stories, and then confuse those stories with Truth.
And. The tapes of the body can be taped over. Young, freshly glistening streams can create new grooves in the mind.
You are not at fault for what happened to you—in childhood, in young adulthood, in your now or your recent or faraway past. And. The irritatingly hard truth is that you are responsible for what you do with it.
Your body is infinitely intelligent; your heart and your spirit are already whole. You have all the tools you need within you to remember and reclaim yourself.
I am here to guide you. To enter the subterranean with you: the depths of your body, your psyche, and your beautiful, tender heart. I am here to witness you; to shepherd you through witnessing and staying with yourself. To rewrite the tapes of your nervous system. To help you learn to believe that the future can be different than the past—and then to live it into being.
Therapy helps you process the past, while coaching helps you create your future.
As a somatic practitioner and emotional health coach, I foster a safe container in which inner alchemy happens: the mining, compassionate witnessing, and energetic transmutation of the imprints you’re carrying, alongside the active creation of new ways of being in relationship with the world and with yourself.
My approach draws upon somatic practices, breathwork, mindfulness, cognitive inquiry, and astrology to foster deep and effective healing and empowerment.
LET’S CONNECT
When deciding to invest in yourself via transformational work with a coach or a healer, it is vital to partner with one who is an energetically resonant match for you. I am happy to offer a free 20 minute consultation call for us to connect and discern whether working together feels like a good fit!
COACHING FEES
I offer 50 minute sessions in person in Asheville, NC and online via video call. Sessions occur weekly or bi-weekly, depending on your needs and preference. The body opens to and integrates change slowly; somatic work is most effective as a steadfast, gentle, and consistent investment over time.
Fees are $150 per session. Reduced fee sessions are offered to those with limited financial capacity; please reach out if you feel called to work with me!
