How we work together is determined by dialogue between us.
As we start each session, we’ll check in verbally about what needs care. I welcome all concerns: physical, mental, emotional, existential, spiritual. My work is to support the wellbeing of all of you.
Your story matters to me. If you wish to share it I want to hear it, at whatever rate of disclosure feels comfortable for you. There are no forbidden topics in my practice, so long as our dialog is mutually respectful. If verbal communication is not desired or feels difficult, we can keep our conversation brief or communicate through text or email.
Every session is emergent.
We will shape our time together around what you share and what I notice. We’ll meet each other as we are showing up in the moment. Working in this way allows us to practice navigating consent together and helps me be responsive to change over time. I want our time together to feel effective, safe, and tolerable. Your feedback is always welcome in session.
Please wear loose, comfortable clothing for our time together. For sessions which include bodywork, I use draping to keep you warm, covered, and comfortable.
The support I have to offer is most impactful when it is given consistently over time.
Cadence recommendations vary depending on what we’re working on and what level of support you’re seeking. At the end of our first session, I will make a recommendation about how often we might work together. At minimum, I invite anyone receiving work from me to consider committing to at least one session every season.
In general, for non-specific care, monthly or bimonthly (in either definition) work is my preferred frequency. Acute concerns may require more regular care for an initial period. For psychedelic preparation and integration work, 2-3 sessions before and 2-3 sessions afterward is recommended, depending on your needs and the substance.
I tend to work closely with folks for somewhere between three months and one year, with additional sessions as desired or needed. That said, the length, frequency, and rhythm of my work is unique to each connection. Ultimately how much time we spend together is up to you.
Your privacy is important to me. I hold a confidential space in all my sessions.
For online sessions I typically use a HIPPA-compliant encrypted and anonymous video service. Sessions are not recorded or stored. If you’d prefer a recorded session so you can re-watch our time together, we can meet on Discord or Zoom instead. You can request this in the appointment booking service.
l will keep my camera on during our time together unless you ask me to turn it off. You can keep your camera on or off as feels comfortable for you. We can talk over voice or chat through messages. If we work together more than once, this can change from session to session.
The best way for you to know if we are a good fit is to experience working with me.
It takes time to build trust. You don’t have to take my word on any of what I’ve written here: you can find out for yourself how I embody my talk in session and see if it feels safe for you.
