Somatic coaching for people who have already done a lot of inner work.
You can be thoughtful, self-aware, and spiritually engaged and still find yourself reacting in ways that insight alone does not change.
I work one-to-one with sensitive, creative, and contemplative people who want a gentler and more useful way of relating to what happens inside them.
You can understand yourself deeply and still feel stuck.
Maybe you’ve done therapy, meditation, spiritual practice, or years of personal work. You understand the patterns. You may even know where they came from.
And yet anxiety, anger, shutdown, overwhelm, self-protection, or relentless self-improvement still take over.
Sometimes the next step is not more effort.
How I work
My work draws from somatic and nervous-system approaches, meditation, contemplative practice, and a long clinical background. We pay attention to what is happening now and to what gives you more room in how you respond.
Depending on what you are dealing with, our work may include regulation, somatic awareness, meditation, emotional capacity, questions of consciousness and meaning, or simply learning not to turn every difficult state into a problem that has to be solved.
On this site, I work with clients in a coaching and consultation capacity. I am not acting as their psychotherapist.
What we may work with
Nervous-system capacity
Working with activation, overwhelm, shutdown, anxiety, anger, and the body’s protective responses without making them enemies.
Meditation & awareness
Deepening contemplative practice while making room for the very human reactions that meditation does not automatically erase.
Meaning & consciousness
Exploring psychological, spiritual, and metaphysical questions with curiosity while keeping distinct what is clinical, contemplative, and speculative.
When more effort stops helping
There are times when pushing harder, analyzing more, or looking for another layer does not help. Change can happen when the system has enough support and enough room to settle into a different pattern.

You don’t need to know exactly what kind of work you need.
The first conversation is simply a chance to talk about what you’re encountering, ask questions, and see whether working together makes sense. There is no need to choose a modality before we speak.
