Service Offerings
I accompany BIPOC, neurodivergent, queer, and disabled children of immigrants, refugees, and undocumented people as they metabolize trauma and reconnect with their bodies and aliveness. To live with intergenerational and historic trauma, many of us disintegrate our wholeness to survive. This can manifest as numbing, dissociation, compartmentalization, and self betrayal for the sake of protecting our safety, belonging, and dignity. These moves are wise and protective — they helped us get to where we are now, but sometimes we need additional moves to continue becoming the people we intend to be. Just because you can handle the oppression that gets thrown your way doesn't mean you have to bear that burden alone.

During out 1:1 sessions together, we will explore how your body, mind, spirits, and tissues hold your history, longings, and coping strategies that you’ve developed over time. We will analyze these strategies within the greater societal context so that we can appreciate how good they are at protecting you. We will discuss your longings and further flush out how they interact with your values. We will discuss what gets in the way of you becoming who you’d like to be.
This includes contextualizing obstacles and challenges within the broader institutional, systemic, and cultural norms and often oppressive forces. We will explore what embodied tendencies live with you when grabs arise throughout daily life. We will unpack how these embodied tendencies have protected you and enabled you to get to where you are today as well as gently explore how we might be able to expand your embodied potential so that you have more choice in how you react when grabbed.
We will practice various somatic techniques to allow for your embodied emergence of how to proceed towards your goals in your own way. We will make space for imagining what your life could look like if you are to achieve your goals and what might get in the way. Each session will have the possibility of structure that I can provide or we can allow the session to evolve naturally. I will follow your body's lead. We will also practice additional ways of being that are in alignment with your values.
Throughout our exploration, we will talk, practice body movements, reflect, and make sense of the innate wisdom that lives within your body so that you can embody the person you want to be.
A typical 1:1 session includes a grounding practice, a conversation about what you’d like to work on for the session, a somatic practice that works towards your goals, and a reflection conversation where we call our attention to any new learnings that popped up and how they apply to your embodiment.
Cost is dependent on socioeconomic location. Can meet in person in Seattle or via video calls.
