Most folks work with me every three weeks for a period of time as physical, spiritual, and emotional patterns shift. Continue reading for a description of the “containers” I work within and FAQs.
Inner Tide, Internal Pelvic Attunement
A three session series, each three weeks apart.
Initial session: $300, 90 min. Following Sessions: $280 75 min.
Internal pelvic attunement is a pelvic manual therapy technique, working gently through the vaginal opening. This work addresses all of the tissues, the fascia that holds the pelvic organs, and the connection to our energetic central channel. Internal Pelvic Attunement is a weaving of techniques – myofascial release, craniosacral, visceral manipulation, structural integration, and spiritual healing. This is a technique that I have distilled over the past 22 years of working with women’s pelvises. This sequence is supportive for centering, energetic clearing, increasing fertility, healing from loss, healing from sexual trauma, increasing access to pleasure and creativity, easing low back pain and fine tuning structural alignment. The internal portion of the bodywork is a potent part of the session, in addition, the session includes many systemic treatments for balance – craniosacral, structural bodywork for the deep layers, and spiritual healing. The traditions I work with for spiritual healing and blessings are from the Norse traditions and Mesoamerican traditions of limpia.
Ancestral Healing with Bodywork
90 minutes, $300
Every 13 days, in the Mayan Sacred Tzolkin calendar, we experience a thin veil between realms. These sacred days are conducive to healing in general, and especially conducive to ancestral healing. I love to be in service these days and I am offering integrative work that includes healing through the liminal space, reconnecting you with your lineage lines, and gentle bodywork to integrate and bring you and your gifts into present time. So many of our family lines are in need of repair as our ancestors came to this land many generations ago, often leaving behind deeply known places that were home, and leaving with unhealed traumas and losses. In reconnecting, we have greater access to our family’s gifts, and we can be part of healing the breaches and the old wounds that tend to linger along bloodlines, affecting current and future generations. We live in a diasporic country – very few of us are indigenous to this land – yet we can thrive in harmony when we honor each other and our own lineage.
Please inquire about which days are the best healing days for you and I’ll direct you after referencing your birth chart and the Mayan sacred tzolkin soul calendar.
Gemstone ~ Body-Soul Axis Sessions.
90 min $300
Gemstone is an offering for women who reside deeply in their natural body, are unpacking and releasing old stories, ready for soulful and integrated expression. Through a multifaceted approach, together we are both excavating the through lines of wild feminine indigenaeity and we are polishing the facets of the gemstone. In these sessions, we track and bring new possibilities to old and limiting thought forms, and we bring healing to their originations. Processes include ancestral healing, plant allies (both in session and I’ll give prescriptions for between sessions), limpia (spiritual clearing), soul retrieval, bodywork with the central channel, structural work if needed, internal pelvic floor work when needed, wombwork, craniosacral for the brainstem and dura, and healing for the places and timelines where you have lost heart.
This is a great container if you are ready to reclaim and ignite your creative energy, ready to give birth, give life, step in. You can schedule these sessions as you like, trusting your intuition about timing. I gently recommend monthly sessions within a 260 day cycle together – the time it takes to plant a seed of corn and harvest an ear of corn, the time it takes to gestate and birth.
What happens in a typical session?
Each session is unique, guided by your body’s wisdom and the energy of the day and the season. We often start with Gongfu tea ceremony where you share what is happening in the season of your life. I listen with all of my senses to your share and then listen with my hands to your body. Taking into account any physical pain you are experiencing, I’ll do the most important bodywork starting from where your body tells me. I generally end with craniosacral and weave it throughout the structural work. Some sessions are less physical and we are working with energetics, ancestral healing, soul retrieval, etc. In this case the work can be received seated or laying on the table.
Do I need to prepare before my SESSION?
I appreciate you arriving honestly in your natural state. The attitude of curiosity is a great foundation for work. Being hydrated helps the work, and being spacious with time after the session will allow for more of the work to stay with you and for the unfolding process that happens when fascia and/or familial storyline unwinds. It’s also best to arrive rested and free of drugs and alcohol for the 24 hours before the session. Some folks come in with an intention or a specific space to explore together, which I welcome. Some sessions are less focused and more directed via the listening, the day, the season.
How is shamanic healing different from energy work and other forms of healing?
(more soon…editing in progress…)
Do you offer remote/online sessions as well as in-person?
I currently offer in-person sessions only.
How long does a session last?
Most sessions last about 75–90 minutes.
Is this safe if I’m pregnant, grieving, or going through a major life transition?
Yes. Safe and necessary. In times of transition I focus my work on helping you access your central channel, and create more pathways to it as your midline through change. Shamanic work and my styles of bodywork during tender and transformative times are gentle. I find the structural bodywork extremely useful when energy is not flowing, when the path is not clear. This work can help you stay centered through a storm. If you are pregnant, there are certain modalities we avoid, and there is always room for blessing and craniosacral therapy (which the babies inside love!)
Can I combine this work with other healing modalities (EMDR, talk therapy, physical therapy, naturopahtic medicine, acupuncture, etc.)?
Absolutely. Shamanic healing and bodywork weave beautifully alongside other modalities and can support your existing practices and practitioners.
are there any contraindications for internal pelvic attunement?
This series is not indicated if you have active and acute vaginitis, cystitis, or endometriosis. For cases of long-term or quiet endometriosis this work can be very beneficial but needs to be done slowly. This series is not for women with acute reactivation of pelvic trauma or those are not receiving support for recent trauma. This work is also not for those seeking an outside “fix.” The work honors your capacity to meet yourself, with support, from within.
What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
3 days’ notice if you need to reschedule or cancel, so that the time can be opened for others.
How should I integrate the healing after a session?
Rest, drink extra water, spend time in nature, or journal. Listen to your body and give yourself what you need, and the extra space to receive and integrate the work. After sessions that are shamanic and energetic, you can take an Epsom salt bath or scrub with salt in the shower. This is very helpful for equilibrium and for further neutralizing the charge of the energies that were cleared.
