First we will establish whether or not we are a suitable match for working together. At any time either party may chose to discontinue working together for any reason.
If we both decide to proceed with working together. We will start with a period of discussion and education.
Rates will be set for payment. Payment is expected the day of a session, prior to beginning.
Date and time will be set for a session.
48 hours notice for cancelation required. Last minute cancelations for feeling sick are acceptable.
We will explore boundaries, concerns, and hopes (which may shift and are expected be continually expressed as the session goes on.) I will express my boundaries and intentions. I will also answer any questions you have.
We will be working on a bed, floor, or massage table as we proceed with cushioned support. Space will be held for you to have your own sovereign experience, witnessed and held with presence by the facilitator.
WHAT A SESSION ENTAILS:
Prior to beginning we will discuss your boundaries, needs, desires, and any concerns. Your boundaries and consent will be honored and your dignity respected. This is a judgement free space.
You (and I) will be fully clothed.
I will present an embodiment practice and stretching to help shift you out of the mental thinking mode and into your instinctual body.
I will ground you in the steadiness of my gaze, clarity in my voice, and confidence of my facilitation.
I will open sacred space.
We will hold eye contact during the session in order to reduce the likelihood of disassociation. It may facilitate a calm trance-like state.
You may begin to notice sensations, communication from the body, your awareness expanding.
Based on your boundaries I will either place my hands on your body, or hovering above at any distance away which your body finds it can maintain a state of calm and relaxation in. Virtual sessions are available & effective too.
I will hold space for whatever arises and I'll guide you to follow the nudges of intuition that present themselves including making sounds, movements, gestures, adjustments, saying words, etc. that hint at an urge to be honored and explored.
My hand placement typically includes above the throat, heart center, solar plexis (stomach), sacral (the organs of generation), and/or root (pelvic bowl). This creates an opportunity to intentionally be with what is present in each location. Requests for presence at certain locations instead of others are encouraged. So will a request to stop at any point.
When feeling safe and resourced, opening to the process creates the environment to encourage your body to present exactly what most needs to come to the surface to be witnessed and healed.
Some sessions are subtle and eye opening. Others are liberating and cathartic. There is no right or wrong, it simply is.
3 sessions are recommended for optimal benefit
A typical session is 20 minutes conversation and embodiment prior to, 20-40 minutes of a clothed session, and then about 15 minutes to adjust to being back in one's present physical time & space.
As this part of the session comes to a close, there will be a period of integration and grounding to prepare you for re-entry into your life with a renewed perspective.
