YOU CAN HANDLE THE PRESSURE.
THE QUESTION IS: CAN YOU COME DOWN FROM IT?
Private somatic sessions for people who carry stress long after the demanding moment has passed.
New York City · Private 1:1
SOMETIMES THE MIND HAS MOVED ON.
THE BODY HASN'T.
You finish the meeting. The deadline passes. You get home.
But your shoulders are still tight. Your jaw is clenched. Your mind keeps running. You're exhausted but can't fully switch off.
Or perhaps you've lived with tension for so long that you barely notice it anymore.
We often become very good at functioning through stress.
That doesn't mean the body has recovered from it.
Private sessions give you space to slow down, notice what your body is holding and work with it directly.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION
This isn't a session where you spend an hour talking about your problems.
We work primarily through the body.
Depending on what you need, a session may include guided breathing, movement, body awareness, tension-release techniques, sound and other somatic practices.
We begin by noticing what's happening now — where you're holding tension, how you're breathing and what your body is communicating.
From there, I guide the session gradually.
-
Sometimes the work is quiet.
-
Sometimes there is movement or emotion.
-
Sometimes what you need most is simply to slow down enough to feel what's been happening underneath the surface.
You don't perform, force a release or arrive knowing what you need.
THIS WORK MAY BE USEFUL IF...
-
You function well but rarely feel completely switched off.
-
Your body feels tense even when nothing is immediately wrong.
-
You find yourself holding your breath, clenching your jaw or bracing without realizing it.
-
Stress follows you home from work.
-
You understand what's stressing you intellectually, but understanding it hasn't changed how your body responds.
-
You've become accustomed to pushing through fatigue, tension or overwhelm.
Or you simply know:
“I'm carrying too much.”
PRIVATE SESSION
A private session gives us space to work with what is happening in your body now.
It can be a place to experience this work for the first time, address accumulated stress or give yourself a deeper reset.
ONGOING PRIVATE WORK
For patterns that have developed over months or years, one session isn't always the answer.
Ongoing work allows us to gradually explore your individual stress patterns, recognize activation earlier and build a greater capacity to regulate and recover.
We can discuss whether ongoing work makes sense after your initial session.
No pressure to commit before you've experienced the work.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
“I feel a stone lighter... it was such a safe space to let go.”

ABOUT THE WORK
My approach comes from more than 500 hours of specialist somatic practitioner training, including training in BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release.
But the work isn't about following one technique.
I draw from breath, movement, body awareness and somatic practices according to the person in front of me.
The aim isn't to force emotion or chase a dramatic experience.
It's to help you become more aware of what your body is communicating — and learn how to respond to it rather than continually overriding it.
START WITH ONE SESSION
You don't need to know whether you need three sessions or twelve.
Start with one.
We'll work with what's happening now and take it from there.
