Hello community,

Please help me spread the word. I am holding two open house gatherings for my somatic therapy group for healers of all kinds (therapists, bodyworkers, coaches, dentists, doctors, nurses, midwives). Though the open houses are on a Thursday, the group itself is weekly on Mondays 915-1045am. This group is for professionals wishing to experience somatic work personally and boost their capacity to bring somatic approaches and values to their clients. This closed group has been running for three years and currently has openings. We ask new members to commit to one month, after which participation is ongoing with self-initiated timing for leaving. Average attendance is 1-3 years; members build strong connections and a strong container for growth.

The Open Houses are this week Thursday Feb 26th 9am-10am and same day 7-8pm. Please tell any friends you think might be interested. I aim to have new members start March 9th depending on how quickly the details and dual relationships get ruled out, etc.

The group explores self and other tracking/receiving, nervous system regulation, proximity dynamics, ongoing consent communication for touch/contact, and more. All touch or movement explorations operate in relational ongoing assessment of agreement, honoring changing needs from moment to moment with clear boundaries that group energy be non-sensual and non-sexual. We explore identity, relationships with family and friends, work life, health, etc. Members say the group has been transformational personally and professionally.

My work is informed by decades-long experience in dance, movement and somatic mindfulness practices and studies, especially Somatic Experiencing (my main frame), Contact Improvisation Dance, Hakomi, Authentic Movement, Five Rhythms/Open Floor, and 24 years of leading process therapy groups.

Logistics: weekly meetings Mondays 915-1045am, $105 per meeting in a home office in Sebastopol where cats visit (allergies aren’t a fit.) Group is small—max 5 members. Members receive two annual no attendance freebies and then pay half fee for any missed meetings.

Please message me for attendance info. (I use email to send info but respond better via text and phone.)

Thank you, and may your resources and community connections be stronger than any turbulence in our world.

Hello friends and community members,

I have two openings for my weekly Mondays 915-1045am group starting August 11th. I will be away and will respond to inquiries after July 27th. It’s a Somatic Psychotherapy group for Healers-- therapists, bodyworkers, coaches, doctors, nurses, midwives, etc.

This group is for healers wanting to integrate their somatic training into their work but first want to experience somatics personally. It is a personal therapy group that deeply supports exploration of self and other tracking/receiving, nervous system regulation, proximity, contact, consent, and more. We increase ability to orient and respond in embodied ways to present place and time as well as relationally to each other. Any touch or movement experiments operate in a dynamic, relational approach to consent, honoring changing needs from moment to moment. “No” moments are a gift we give ourselves and each other to find authentic Yes moments. The group is explicitly non-sexual and non-sensual for safety. The group supports exploring identity, relationships with family and friends, work life, health, etc, and also is a place to expand professional capacity with somatic skills. This group started two plus years ago. Members say it has been transformational personally and professionally.

My work is informed by decades-long experience in dance, movement and somatic mindfulness practices and studies, especially Somatic Experiencing (my main frame), Contact Improvisation Dance, Hakomi, Authentic Movement, Five Rhythms/Open Floor, and 23 years of leading groups.

Logistics: weekly meetings Mondays 915-1045am, $100 per meeting in a home office in Sebastopol where cats visit (allergies won't work here.) Commitment required for first two months/8 meetings. Because I can’t reschedule a different person to fill a missed meeting, I ask members to pay half fee for any missed meetings. After the 8 month commitment if new members continue, they get two freebie late cancelations/no shows per year.

Please message me after July 27th with any questions. Thank you!

Nervous system dysregulation and trauma resolve most efficiently through mindful movement and contact in an environment that celebrates boundaries, connection, authenticity, accountability, social justice commitment and repair. I offer such psychotherapy for individual adults, partners, and groups including for other psychotherapists who wish to experience more somatic work. I offer somatic consultation to therapists, coaches and healers with all levels of previous somatic training.
