Mindfulness & Meditation Instruction
Cultivate or deepen a personal practice. This might include:
- Learning foundational techniques such as breath awareness, body scanning, concentration, and practices of compassion for self and others
- Understanding the principles that support mindfulness practice
- Working skillfully with common challenges such as restlessness, judgment, pain, or sleepiness
- Exploring how to bring mindfulness into everyday life—especially during busy or stressful times
Somatic Inquiry
By bringing gentle attention to the body, thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, we begin to see more clearly how patterns of habit, fear, or expectation shape our experience.
With time and patience, this awareness softens reactivity and opens new possibilities for responding to life with greater clarity and compassion.
Somatic inquiry is a reflective process that connects the mind and body. Together we explore sensations, emotions, underlying beliefs, and patterns that may be operating beneath the surface of conscious awareness. When we tune into the body’s “felt sense,” we begin to access a deeper layer of knowing that reveals where we feel stuck and what may be asking for attention.
This work is not about judging, analyzing, or fixing yourself. Instead, it invites a steady, kind presence with whatever is arising. From that place of kind listening, insight and movement often emerge naturally. This practice can be deeply healing.
What this might look like in a session:
- Slowing down and noticing what’s happening beneath the surface
- Staying with a feeling or area of tension that wants attention
- Meeting discomfort or confusion with care and curiosity
- Allowing the body's signals and sensations to guide insight
Somatic inquiry can bring surprising clarity or release—not through analysis or problem-solving, but through attentive listening to the body’s experience.
A Note on Readiness
Somatic inquiry is most effective when you already have some familiarity with meditation. If you're new to practice, I suggest starting with an introductory course or some one-on-one training first.
This helps establish a foundation of attention and self-awareness that supports the deeper work we explore together.
Mentoring
Compassionate, thoughtful support for navigating personal or professional questions and reconnecting with what matters most to you.
In these sessions, we might explore:
- Life transitions or crossroads
- Challenges related to work, relationships, identity, health, grief, or something else
- Patterns you're ready to shift or release
- How your inner life —values, beliefs, hopes, and fears—shapes your choices and direction
Mentoring can blend various mindfulness, meditation, reflection and inquiry practices. Together, we'll help you clarify your priorities, and develop tools and skills that help you live with greater alignment and intention.
