Each is a different shape of containment — the depth and the duration that meet you where you are. Read slowly. Choose the one your body recognizes.
One session, held with full attention. We meet for ninety minutes — some of which is conversation, most of which is sound, breath, and stillness. You leave with a practice to take home.
For first encounters, for the time the body asks again, for the threshold that doesn't need a series.
Six weeks of held space, built as a single slow movement. We begin with the body — what it is carrying, what it has been waiting to set down. Each week deepens what the previous one began.
This is the work most women come to me for, and the work that asks the most of you. By design, I take only six women into The Return at a time.
A monthly sound circle held the second Saturday of each month. Twelve women at a time, in person in Brooklyn, with simultaneous online attendance for those who join from elsewhere.
For the work to be done alongside others. To remember that you are not the only one returning, and that none of us are doing this alone.
A few of the questions that come up most often. If yours isn't here, write — I read every note myself.
Yes. Most of the women I work with are coming to this for the first time. There is nothing to prepare. You arrive, you lie down, the work meets you where you are.
Almost identical to in-person, with a few small adjustments. You set up a quiet space at home — a bed or floor to lie down on, headphones, soft light. We meet on Zoom. The sound carries through the headphones surprisingly well; many of my regular clients work with me only online.
It varies. Some women feel a noticeable shift within the first session. For others, the deeper work begins around session three or four. The Return is six weeks because that is roughly how long it takes for the nervous system to actually integrate what is happening — anything faster tends to be a performance of healing rather than the thing itself.
No. I am trained in trauma-informed practice and somatic experiencing, but I am not a licensed therapist and this is not therapy. Many of my clients work with me alongside their therapist; the work is complementary. If active trauma processing is what you need, I will refer you to colleagues who do that work.
I keep sliding scales on every offering and run two scholarship cycles a year for The Return. Money should not be the reason this work is unavailable to you. Write to me and we will find the way.
You will probably cry. Most people do, especially in the first session. Crying is part of how the body finishes things it has been holding. There is nothing to apologize for and nothing to clean up after.
