Frequently asked questions
What kind of services do you offer?
My work lies in the somatic realm, meaning the mind-body connection is at the heart of my work. Soma means “body” in Greek, and somatic practices focus on combining mind and body into a unified experience. This includes emotional release, coaching, energy healing (Reiki), and self-paced courses. My work is centered on helping you regulate your nervous system, reconnect with your body, and reclaim your sense of self.
are you a therapist?
No. I’m not a licensed therapist. Somatic practices focuses on the body’s wisdom using movement, breath, and other nervous system regulation tools to support emotional healing, physical well-being, and personal growth. I don’t diagnose or treat mental illness. Instead, I help you build a deeper relationship with your body for integration, expression, and empowerment.
can i work with you if i’m in already in therapy or taking medication?
Absolutely! My work complements therapy and medical care effectively, and I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. My role is to support you in connecting to your own body, while working alongside other professionals on your healing team. You don’t have to choose one path. This can enhance and even deepen the work you’re already doing.
do I have to be local to work with you?
Not at all! Everything but massage therapy is online, so you can work with me from anywhere in the world. Massage sessions are only available in Missoula, MT.
what should I expect when working with you?
Expect a trauma-informed, non-judgmental space. Depending on the service, sessions may include guided body awareness, breath work, emotional release and processing, energy healing, or intuitive coaching—depending on your needs. Each experience is tailored to meet your body and nervous system where they’re at.
what is your education/training?
Fair question, why trust me? I’ve been a Licensed Massage Therapist for 10+ years, trained in two separate Emotional Release modalities, and I’m a certified Reiki Master. I also complete required continuing education every renewal cycle.
Beyond credentials, I’ve done years of my own deep work, leaving a Fundamentalist Mormon cult, and working with therapists, somatic practitioners, coaches, and facilitators to rebuild my own life from the inside out. My work is informed by both professional training and lived experience.
why should I give this a try?
You are a multi-dimensional human being. You are not just your thoughts, your pain, or your past. You are a whole system: body, mind, and emotion. Somatic work honors and connects all of these parts, giving you the well-rounded, body-based support you deserve to heal, grow, and return to yourself.
