Private Sessions
Receive individualized attention
to your particular questions
and challenges, along with practices
to support your progress.
Together, we will listen into the heart of infinite stillness and open to the ever-present source of aliveness which moves us each uniquely and in synchronous relationship with all. From here we know what is ours and our lives move with ease.
One on One Support for Your Journey
When the constructs of the mind are seen through, we experience our whole self as clear vast awareness entering a body as spirit and animating life in concrete form. From here we feel our connection with all of existence and non existence in and outside of time. We experience profound empathy with all beings. Ultimately we come to realize and experience that there is no absolute "other". And we naturally offer ourselves in response to what the world and life ask of us. The process for arriving at this direct experience of self as vast awareness generally requires foundational practices to prepare the ground for the journey. Once these foundations are in place, the practitioner is ready for intermediate and advanced practices to support and further the awakening process. These intermediate and advanced practices are what I offer. If you are someone considered to be at late structure stage of development/awareness and can see through the constructed nature of reality, I can work with you to stabilize these perspectives and experiences and work through any remnants of shadow or trauma that prevent greater happiness, ease and clarity. If you happen to be at a more conventional or post-conventional stage of awareness I recommend contacting Stages International for information on the stages framework and to find a coach who can support your growth into these later stages.
Preliminaries
Those who work with me generally have completed some preliminary (and even extensive) counseling or psychotherapy and many have experience with meditation and yoga. If you initiate work with me whether individually or in a class or group, you acknowledge in good faith that you are of sound mental health. If you have not yet completed that foundational work, or you are experiencing some mental or emotional instability I may refer you to other resources.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Will We Begin?
We will likely meet via video conferencing. I'll want to know about your life, history and background so I get a sense of who you are. I may ask about what you hope for in our sessions, what traumas or challenges you have encountered in your life, your relationship history, your vision and purpose in life.
Ongoing Process & Methods
My work is informed by training in bodywork, psychotherapy, and spiritual practices of various traditions. Ultimately my intention is to help you release the limitations of your thinking mind and disperse the awareness of your awareness throughout your entire body (and beyond). I use techniques such as focusing inward on physical and subtle knots and contractions, feeling them, giving them expression and releasing them using breath, words, emotion, movement and energetic release. Along the way I teach a lot about subtle energy boundaries, edges, qualities and their relationship to thought, emotion, physical ailments and life issues.
What Benefits and Results Might I Expect?
As you clear away the obsolete patterns of holding, thinking and feeling, you will become more alive and aware, first of your own interior feelings, longings and boundaries, and then of your constructed patterns of beliefs and behavior, and ultimately of spacious ever-present awareness and an embodied sensitivity through which truth and clarity allow ease, flow and grace. This clear light of awareness enables an alignment with what is good, true and beautiful and so improves all areas of one's life.
How Long Will It Take?
Many of my clients/students see me for several years because they find our consultations useful to all areas of their lives in real time. Others meet for a shorter period of time to work through temporary adjustments to significant events. Healing, growth and awakening at a transformative level take time, but I do not require a set number of sessions. Usually, we will both know when we are complete. And you are free to discontinue at any time. I see people every two weeks and sometimes monthly or at random, depending on the person and circumstances. Sessions typically last approximately 55 minutes.
How Much Will It Cost? What is the Cancellation Policy?
I am no longer a licensed psychotherapist and I do not bill insurance. As a life coach and awareness guide I am free to work with individuals worldwide. My fee is $150 per 55 minute individual private session when paid on the day of service. Corporate sponsorship is $200/session to compensate for billing and payment processing time. I require full payment if a session is cancelled within 24 hours of our scheduled time.
