My In-Person Offerings
Acupuncture Only
Length: 60 minutes
These sessions offer focused, individualized acupuncture care for those seeking support with pain, stress, fertility and hormonal balance, sleep, digestion, fatigue, and other physical or energetic concerns.
Each treatment begins with a brief conversation about what you are experiencing, followed by pulse and tongue diagnosis to help identify the patterns your body is presenting. Your acupuncture treatment is then customized to support your specific needs and restore greater balance within the body.
When appropriate, sessions may also include cupping, gua sha, manual therapy, or other supportive techniques to ease tension, improve circulation, and enhance the effects of treatment.
These appointments are intended for clients seeking acupuncture-focused care. While my approach is always attentive and informed by a somatic understanding of the body, these sessions do not include somatic therapy or extensive emotional processing. Those seeking deeper nervous-system support, greater capacity and resilience, or a more exploratory body-based process are invited to explore my Somatic & Acupuncture or Somatics Only offerings.
Somatic + Acupuncture
Length: 90 minutes
These sessions integrate somatic therapy and acupuncture into a single, continuous process. Each begins with 40–60 minutes of somatic focus—a time to slow down, sense, and engage the body’s innate intelligence. Through guided awareness, breath, and mindful dialogue, we listen for the body’s language of tension, memory, and movement. Somatic Experiencing®, a body-centered therapy, guides our process.
Acupuncture follows as an adjunct to the somatic work, chosen in response to what emerges during the session. Using pulse and tongue diagnosis, each treatment is customized to support the body’s unique patterns and needs. When appropriate, sessions may also include sound medicine, manual therapy, cupping, or gua sha to enhance circulation, release stagnation, and assist integration.
This integrative approach supports those ready to work beneath surface symptoms—addressing stress, trauma, and imbalance through both subtle awareness and embodied restoration.

Somatic Inquiry and Consciousness
Somatic Therapy Only (no acupuncture) Length: 60 minutes
These sessions are devoted entirely to the body’s lived experience, without the use of acupuncture. Somatic inquiry invites curiosity toward physical sensations, emotions, impulses, images, and inner movements as expressions of the deeper self. It rests on the understanding that meaningful change becomes possible when the body is safely included in the conversation.
Somatic Experiencing®, a body-centered therapeutic approach, helps guide the process. Sessions may include guided awareness, breathwork, mindful dialogue, and subtle movement to support nervous-system regulation, integration, and a more embodied understanding of your experience.
This work also creates space for a deeper exploration of awareness and consciousness. By slowing down and listening closely to the body, we begin to notice the subtle patterns shaping how we relate to ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. As awareness expands, new possibilities can emerge: greater choice, increased resilience, a more authentic relationship with oneself, and a deeper capacity to meet life with presence.
The process is trauma-responsive, relational, and paced in attunement with your nervous system. While we honor what the body has carried, the work is not limited to processing the past. It is equally oriented toward cultivating capacity, deepening inner trust, and exploring the person you are becoming.
This offering is well-suited for those seeking to strengthen body connection, explore patterns of holding, build resilience, expand awareness, and engage in a deeper process of personal transformation.

Dual Guided Meditations
Length: 90 minutes
My offering of guided journeys is an invitation to join with me in dual meditation as we journey together into the alter of your heart.
We explore the movement and activity of your visionary and somatic experience in relationship to your inner silence and stillness. Each session deepens your awareness through strengthening the inner witness and surrendering to the deep intelligence of your wisdom-body.
This work is an intimate invitation towards self-remembering and discovery. Often healing of the emotional and physical bodies is an alchemical reaction to this work.

“I’m not sure how or when I began my apprenticeship with sorrow.
I do know that it was my gateway back into the breathing and animate world.
It was through the dark waters of grief that I came to touch my unlived life, by at last unleashing tears I had never shed for the losses in my world. Grief led me back into a world that was vivid and radiant. There is some strange intimacy between grief and aliveness, some sacred exchange between what seems unbearable and what is most exquisitely alive. Through this, I have come to have a lasting faith in grief.”
