Mindfulness & Meditation Instruction
Develop or deepen a personal practice. This might include:
- Learning foundational techniques (like breath awareness, body scanning, concentration, and compassion for self and others)
- Understanding the principles behind mindfulness
- Troubleshooting challenges (like restlessness, judgment, pain, or sleepiness)
- Exploring how to bring mindfulness into everyday life—especially when you're busy
Somatic Inquiry
This gentle process connects mind and body to explore sensations, emotions, underlying beliefs, and subconscious patterns. When we tune into the "felt sense," we can connect with the body’s inner guidance to explore and unwind areas where we feel stuck. This practice can be deeply healing and insightful.
In these sessions, we might:
- Slow down and notice what’s happening beneath the surface
- Stay with a feeling or tension that wants attention
- Practice being with discomfort or uncertainty with care and curiosity
- Let the body guide you toward insight or resolution
Somatic inquiry often leads to surprising clarity or release—not by analyzing or problem-solving, but by listening deeply to the body’s wisdom.
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 gives you tools to support the deeper work we’ll do together.
Mentoring
Compassionate, insightful support for personal or professional growth and reconnecting with your values and direction. We might explore:
- Life transitions or crossroads
- Challenges related to work, relationships, identity, health, grief, or something else
- Patterns you want to shift or let go of
- How your inner life (values, beliefs, fears, hopes) relates to your choices and growth
Mentoring can blend various mindfulness, meditation, reflection and inquiry techniques. Together, we'll develop tools and skills to help you reach your goals.
