Somatic Body Therapy Sessions

Wholeness Journey
A dedicated journey (recommended minimum six of months) to help guide and integrate your Self-development, healing and awakening to wholeness process.
This is deep work for those who are committed to their self actualizing and embodiment journey into wholeness. This experience works with inherited and intergenerational patterns, developed habits, exiled and protector parts of us, as well as inner guidance to more fully access our unique authentic self.
In this work I serve as your guide to create safety and clarity as you grow, expand, and integrate your unique essence into your everyday life.
This journey continues from Somatic Body Therapy or Soul Attunement work.
Nutritional & Herbal Therapy
Many of our physical, emotional and even mental challenges have a component of nutrient deficiency or accumulated debris in our system.
These consultations with Chris, a Certified Nutritional and Master Herbalist, assess and work with the underlying cause of your symptoms.
We can inherit deficiencies and/or develop deficiencies.
In Herbal Therapy, which includes Vaginal or Yoni Steaming, we work with the concept of our vital wholeness and intelligence – given the right nutrients and environment, our bodies are able to heal through finding equilibrium.
Nutritional and Herbal Therapy is near and dear to my heart. I have used these therapies for over 20 years. It is often the missing link in healing, especially chronic challenges.
$75 for initial session.
$35 for monthly care and follow up sessions.
common questions
Sessions are all about somatic awareness (inner felt sense experience), processing and integration. Whether an issue presents in your body, mind, emotions or even your spiritual longings, your body contains deep wells of wisdom AND holds pain, tension and unresolved issues. We work through dialog, guided sensory experiences. We create a safe environment for your body to release pain, discomfort, tensions, and traumas.
Suggestion is to start with one session, see how it fits, then work in series of three sessions or in an ongoing format in order to make the most of your transformation journey.
Hands on sessions additionally use light touch, movement and fascia therapies to assist you in unwinding patterns, habits and stuck places.
Session length varies with the type you choose.
We will make sure you are complete in your journey and have a safe container to enter back into your world with ease.
Because we are working with deep shifts, it is ideal to come no more than every two weeks. This allows time for integration.
It takes time for foundational and habitual patterns to shift in body, mind and heart spaces. If you are working a long held issue, it is common for clients to work with me a minimum of 3 month.
Once a month works well for many clients once the acute challenges have shifted.
Yes. BIPOC folks receive $10-20 off session cost depending on the session type.
Scholarships/slide scale are also available.

The Individual Wholeness Journey is suggested to be a minimum of a six month journey.
This is a deep dive into patterns, habits, exiled and protective parts that live within us. At the same time. this is a path of clearing and embodying your most authentic, true self and allowing that to shine through.
We live in a society that is set in survival mode. Our bodies have adopted this stance in many ways that we may be unaware. The Wholeness Journey is a path of re-discovering who we are, how we feel, what we know, and what we’re here to do.
It is a journey into Wholeness.
Somatic Body Therapy session costs are $150. All sessions are 60 minutes.
Soul Attunement work is $210 for 1.5 hours plus one catch up call for the month.
Classes, workshops and courses are individually priced.
Scholarships and BIPOC discounts available. See that section for more info.
This will vary for each person. Chronic pain and challenges take time to unwind and set new patterns into our lives.
What works well for clients is to work in a series of 3 sessions to begin. This allows for somatic processing and integration, even if you are coming for physical challenges.
Historically, I have worked with clients in a 10 session series. This amount of time, coming every two weeks, equals about three months. This is an ideal amount of time to work with established pattern and habits.
Once a month sessions are ideal for those that wish to work long term (six months to a year or more.) This type of work is also offered in Individual Wholeness Journey.
Easily accessible from 805, my office is located in Sorrento Mesa/Mira Mesa area

Sessions are individual focused work with you, on whatever you are wanting to work with.
Sessions provide both healing and experiences of a greater sense of Wholeness and authenticity.

Classes provide a space for you to experience healing, more calm, awareness, vibrancy, fluidity and insight into your human experience.

Courses provide a platform for exponential growth, learning or expanding on new concepts, and a deepening awareness of self and relationship to others.
