FAQs
who are your teachers?
I have had many teachers over the years. Of late, I am deeply influenced by the breath, the earth, my son and partner, Travis Wanner and my sangha.
While I have been gobbling up Zach Bush, Charles Eisenstein, Joshua Shrei of the Emerald Podcast, Vandana Shiva, Bayo Akomolafe, and Sophie Strand, the loudest voices in my sphere are the 3 acres that I steward and all her inhabitants.
The Relational Somatics sangha is born out of my learnings from Peter Levine, Saj Razvi, Majia Jade and Robin Temple.
ARe you a licensed therapist
I have been a licensed therapist for 18 years. I have decided not to renew my license for a myriad of reasons. Most notably, the model is no longer sustainable for me. See the About section to learn more.
What is your fee
My fee is $200/60 minutes of individual work (unless you are already working with me) and $400 for a 2 hour medicine sessions and $100/60 minutes of group work. As the funds in the Community Care Fund increase, I will be able to have a sliding scale.
The Breathwork offering does have a generous sliding scale.
What training do you have?
I have advanced training in yoga and yoga therapy. I was credentialed as a yoga therapist but have since let that credential go. I completed the Somatic Experiencing training in 2015 and Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy in 2023. I have trained with Kathy Kain, Steve Terrell, Tara Brach, and Raja Selvam and many, many others over the 20 years I have been in the field.
DO you do trauma therapy
I no longer provide therapy. My work centers around liberation from colonial/supremacy culture and the myth of separation. I do not see the individual as separate from their environment…EVER.
I will not be a good fit if you are a committed to a lens that doesn’t take into account your early experiences/cultural conditioning and ancestral patterns as a part of who you are and impacting everything.
I do liberation work not trauma work, though, the work I do does intersect with trauma (there is no way around that) the orientation is different because my lens is spiritual.
If you are looking for a trauma therapist, I recommend using the Trauma Therapist Network to find the right fit.
Please take note of my cancellation policy. I need 48 hours notice for cancellation of 60 minute sessions and 72 for 2 hour sessions. This applies even the case of illness. I charge my full fee. I book the time just for you and it is a loss for me if I can’t fill the time.
