Frequently Asked Questions

No. What I do is coaching and somatic integration work — it is not therapy, and I am not a licensed therapist. That said, this work goes deeper than most people expect coaching to go. If you are in active crisis, experiencing acute mental health symptoms, or navigating trauma that requires clinical support, I will tell you honestly, and I'm glad to help you find the right resource. Many of my clients work with a therapist alongside our work together — the two are complementary, not competing.

Somatic means body-based. It means we pay attention to what's happening in the body — sensation, tension, breath, posture, the physical signature of an emotion or a pattern — rather than working only at the level of thought and language. Most of the women I work with have done excellent cognitive work. They can name their patterns. The patterns haven't changed. Somatic work addresses the reason: the nervous system holds experience in the body, and the body needs to be part of the conversation for lasting change to happen.

No two sessions are the same — because no two nervous systems are the same. We meet by video or in person, and we begin wherever you are that day — no preparation required. What you can expect is to be met where you actually are, not where you think you should be. We'll talk, but I'll also be listening to what's happening underneath the words — in your body, your breath, your pace. There may be a practice — something small your body can do rather than your mind. At some point something will slow down. Something will land. You'll leave different than you arrived, even if you can't immediately explain how.

Most coaching focuses on goals, strategy, and accountability. That work has its place. What I do goes underneath the goal to the nervous system pattern, the emotional truth, and the identity that is either supporting or sabotaging the change you want. It's slower, more interior, and in my experience, more durable.

Often, yes — and specifically because of that. The women who get the most from this work have usually done significant prior work. They have the language. They have the insight. What they haven't had is someone who can help it land in the body, where it needs to be in order to actually change behavior, relationships, and daily experience.

Yes. While my work primarily draws high-capacity women, the exhaustion of carrying too much while losing touch with yourself isn't gender-exclusive — and neither is this work.

If you're a man who recognizes yourself in what you've read here, reach out. We'll have a conversation and see if we're a good fit.

If you're asking that question, you probably are. Women who aren't ready typically don't find their way to this page.

Payment for Inhale ($525) is made in full before we meet.

For The Pause, I offer two payment options: a single payment of $3,300 or three monthly payments of $1,100. The first payment is made before our first session.

For both containers, we can talk about what structure fits your life when we connect.

Health coaching may qualify for reimbursement through your HSA or FSA when considered medically necessary.

As a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), I hold the highest national credential in the profession. I'm happy to provide an itemized receipt including my NBC-HWC certification and National Provider Identifier (NPI) number — documentation that supports reimbursement when coaching is part of a medically recommended plan.

For questions about eligibility, I'd encourage you to check directly with your HSA or FSA administrator.
