Final Notes:

  • Each session integrates mindfulness, sound, breathwork and somatic practices.

  • Confidentiality and mutual respect are foundational.

“It’s put me in touch with parts of myself that were always there, but I kept pushing down. It’s created a safe container for me to explore and accept myself more fully. It’s connected me more to the Divine and the beauty of this world. Most incredulously, it’s brought me back to myself and helped me remember my power and delight with life that had nearly been completely snuffed out of me. I feel so much more confident and sure of myself than I have in decades, perhaps ever. It’s opened me up to so much joy and love and realness.”
