Take this somatic healing container for a test drive.

In our first 3 sessions together, we can map your nervous system, get to know one another, and slowly begin somatic (body) and nervous system healing. This is the best way to see if this approach feels right for you.

  • “Jess has an innate awareness and is able to listen to both you and your body without pressure or judgment. Jess goes at your pace, and makes sure to keep you informed, empowered and more aware of your psychosomatic needs so you can make the most out of each session.”

  • "Thank you, thank you. I felt so safe to show up as myself, and felt incredibly held. That's rare for me."

    J.R.

  • "Jess clearly possesses a nuanced understanding of how the subtle/energetic and physical body holds and expresses trauma wounds. She is a gifted facilitator."

    Meg, Life Coach

  • “My last session with Jess was truly a heartfelt experience. Jess is intuitive and very nurturing. don’t often feel safe enough to get emotional around people, but Jess is so understanding. She is a joy to work with.”

Hi, I’m Jess (she/they), LMT, SSP, SEP-in-training! I can lean into the quiet and sessions often include laughter. I’m serious about healing, but not serious-serious. It took me ages to live in my body, so I’m no stranger to dissociation and wise survival strategies that save our lives and then eventually make them even harder.

I’m a forever student of the nervous system, neuroscience, healing justice and somatic practice. Sessions with me blend my years of bodywork, craniosacral (pictured in that photo), somatic processing and trauma-informed care. I’d be honored to hold space with you as you heal and grow.

You can learn more about my experience right here.

SESSION DETAILS

Somatic Sessions take place on zoom with cameras on. Sessions are 60 minutes each (90 if you’d prefer a more spacious container and as my schedule allows), including opening our time together, integration and closing the container.

SESSION PACE

Clients schedule weekly or bi-weekly sessions, to honor that this work takes time. An initial 3 sessions series means that we can feel out how we work together, and you have time to decide if this is the right fit for you before committing to 3 or 6 months.

Weekly or bi-weekly sessions are scheduled on the same time and day each week. This keeps it steady for both of us, and saves your spot in my calendar!

BEGINNING OUR SOMATIC WORK TOGETHER

Our first session is an important one! We have time for intake, beginning to build our relationship, and establishing context for our work together.

During the first session, you will be invited to:

  • Map your nervous system through polyvagal theory and a somatic sense

  • Share what brings you to the session and what you are hoping for in our work together

  • Name histories, identities, struggles, sensitivities and needs; as well as glimmers, joys and strengths

  • Receive more context and clarity around somatic processing and our work together

Note: Clients often take 3 sessions (or more) to complete the beginnings of their polyvagal nervous system map. This process can offer shared language for our work together, and deeper self compassion and understanding for your nervous system’s survival responses and brilliance.

In proceeding sessions, we may be more organic and emergent and follow what is coming up for you. We may also decide to explore a certain theme, like resourcing or containing. Sessions can also include nervous system mapping and exploration, or working with certain nervous system and survival responses. Overall, this work is slow and tends towards the shallower end of the pool and nervous system so as not to overwhelm your system. That said, we don’t bypass the hard stuff. We can hold that together.

Sliding scale rates:

$140 per 60 minute session | $180 per 90 minute session | Initial 3 session series: $420

for folks with access to expendable or stable income

$120 per 60 minute session | $160 for 90 minute session | Initial 3 session series: $360

for folks with limited to expendable or stable income

$100 per 60 minute session | $140 per 90 minute session | Initial 3 session series: $300

for folks with limited access to cash, funds, housing security, etc.

Sliding scale is important to me. Offering sliding scale does not reflect that my business is financially abundant. Offering accessible (I know this is incredibly relative) services is important to me, so I do it whenever and wherever I can. You can choose where you fall on the sliding scale. I don’t ask for proof, just for clients to self-select the rate that is within their means.

Somatics + SSP: Many clients like to blend the Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) with Somatic Sessions. This is so possible and often very supportive! There is a $35 one-time fee to access the SSP (because I pay for client access). This option is available for folks who might benefit. P.S., you can decide later.
