What to Expect

Beginning this kind of work can bring up curiosity, relief, and uncertainty all at once. Many people arrive unsure of how to prepare, what will be asked of them, or whether they are “ready.” This page is here to offer orientation, not instruction.

​

Before We Begin

You do not need to have a clear goal, a coherent story, or the right language for what you are experiencing.

​

What is most helpful is a willingness to slow down, listen, and engage honestly with what is present. This work does not require you to relive past experiences or push beyond your capacity. We move at a pace shaped by consent, mutual trust, and respect for your nervous system.

​

If you are unsure whether this work is a good fit, we begin with an initial conversation to explore your hopes, questions, and boundaries.

​

In Our Sessions

Sessions are relational and responsive rather than scripted. While each session is different, you can expect:

• A steady, attuned presence

• Invitations to notice sensation, breath, and emotion as they arise

• Space for grief, uncertainty, and not-knowing

• Periods of spaciousness and deep listening

• Practices that support grounding and embodiment

​

There is no pressure to perform insight, tell your story in a particular way, or arrive at conclusions. We follow what is alive and workable in the moment.

​

Pace & Rhythm

This work unfolds over time. Some people come for a defined period; others engage in ongoing or seasonal work.

​

You may notice changes that are subtle rather than dramatic — increased capacity to feel, moments of steadiness, clearer boundaries, or a renewed sense of orientation. Integration often happens between sessions, as what we touch into finds its place in daily life.

​

Grief & Care

Grief is welcomed here as a natural response to love, loss, and belonging. It may arise in many forms — personal grief, ancestral grief, ecological grief — or not at all. There is no expectation that grief will look a certain way.

​

Care is taken to ensure that what emerges is held with enough support. We do not overwhelm the system in the name of catharsis or insight.

​

Boundaries & Scope

This work is not a substitute for crisis support, emergency care, or clinical mental health treatment.

I practice within my scope and will name if additional or different support may be needed. Referrals are offered when appropriate, and your autonomy is always respected.

​

Your Role

Your role is not to do this “well.”

​

Your role is to show up with sincerity, to listen to your own signals, and to communicate what you need as best you can. Everything else unfolds in relationship.

​

An Invitation

If you feel a quiet yes, curiosity, or resonance — even alongside hesitation — that is enough to begin.

You are welcome to reach out with questions or to request an initial conversation.
