FAQs

What is Somatic Soul Care?

Somatic soul care is an integrative and holistic approach to healing body, mind and soul drawing deeply on the principals of Somatic Experiencing®, Internal Family Systems, meditation, breathwork and the ancient practices of spiritual direction. It is a safe space carved out for you, alongside a trained and compassionate listener, to get curious about the stories stirring within you and your body - from the sacred to the mundane. Together we will listen to the wisdom of your body, exploring how the stories within are woven together into the larger narratives of your life.

Somatic Soul Care is right for you if you are…

• Asking big questions about life or the future

• In transition or making a big life decision and you need someone alongside you to help discern the path ahead

• Looking for a safe and confidential space to be transparent about your personal and spiritual journey without judgment

• Feeling stuck on your current path or wondering if there is more

• Experiencing pain in your body without a clear underlying cause

• Feeling disconnected from yourself and others and need an environment where all of you is welcome

How often do you see clients?

This decision is an individual one and will be agreed upon after the initial assessment period. Weekly 65-minute sessions are the recommended frequency.

What qualifies you as a somatic soul care practitioner?

I received my Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care and have been practicing for 14 years. I utilize Trauma Informed Care to curate a personal experience tailored for your needs drawing on my work in Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing®, Compassionate Inquiry, the wisdom of the Enneagram, Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, and 20+ years of soul care work.

How are you supervised and held accountable?

I am in monthly individual and group supervision with a therapeutic supervisor who has been practicing for 30+ years. Additionally, I attend quarterly group case consultations with approved Somatic Experiencing® and Internal Family Systems licensed clinical therapists.

Are the sessions confidential?

Your conversations will be held in strict confidence. The time we spend together is sacred and deeply personal - I will not identify you as a client or share any of our work together. I would reveal the contents of our conversations only when required to do so by law.

Do you offer sliding scale rates?

I reserve four need-based spots for clients at a sliding scale rate. (Please note priority for these rates is given to members of the BIPOC and LBTQ+ communities.) Contact me to discuss this option.
