Eco-Somatic Mentorship

In this co-creative space together we will reclaim the wildness, magic, and truth of your own nature. We will work to untangle harmful conditionings and blockages that have perpetuated disconnection and dissociation from the body to cultivate wholeness and full ecological embodiment. Being embodied allows us to return to our natural way of being, to sink back in and occupy the uniquely beautiful vessel that has been gifted to us, to meet whatever trauma, emotion, and pain that has been stored in our bodies with love and compassion. It also allows us to uncover our own knowings, intuition, and power.

Utilizing my metaphysical, herbal, somatic, and creative studies I aim to cultivate a holistic model of care that supports the mind, body, and spirit. Our work together is a collaborative process rooted in the power of relationship with our internal and external landscapes. Through inviting in all parts of you, connecting to and witnessing your inner felt experience, compassionately exploring your shadow, and reclaiming your true nature, we will work to cultivate healing, transformation, pleasure, and joy.

In a unbalanced society rooted in domination culture, connecting to your true nature is a powerful act of liberation. Your body is the doorway to ancestral wisdom and remembering how you were meant to walk amongst the Earth.

Here I can support you in

Redefining, balancing, and integrating your feminine and masculine energies
Reclaiming and harnessing the power of your own voice and inner knowings
Learning how to set and maintain boundaries, especially for folks who are highly sensitive or who have been violated or harmed in the past
Divesting from internalized patriarchal beliefs and conditionings that are harmful to you
Re-orienting your relationship to illness so that you can inhabit your body with more love and compassion
Sitting with and processing difficult emotions stored or stuck in the body such as grief, fear, shame, or unworthiness
Working through unhealthy or limiting beliefs or scarcity mindsets
Cultivating self-love, compassion, and resiliency so that you can be your most fully embodied expansive self
Tuning into your intuition so that you can choose and call in what is in alignment with your soul
Strengthening your connection to the language of your body and of the sentient Earth around you
Freeing yourself from patterns, generational trauma, and cycles
Reconnecting to ancestral wisdom through ritual, land-based practices, and plant communion
Connecting with your own gifts to nurture your own soul work and unique path

SESSIONS

This is a space for you to feel seen, acknowledged, and supported. I view our relationship and the space we cultivate together as the most important pillar of our work. This is a collaborative and co-creative space that we weave together along with the support of the land and our more-than-human kin. Magic is invited and encouraged.

We are not, nor will we ever be aiming to "fix" you. You are not broken. My guess is that you are highly sensitive, perceptive, and aware and what you are feeling is normal. In this space we might instead compassionately meet what is showing up with love and ask what it might be trying to reorient you towards, or explore what you are being invited to release or uncover. I am not here to change you but to support you in recovering and embodying all the pieces of yourself so that you can exist in wholeness.

My approach to this work is grounded in the belief that much of our collective and individual suffering is rooted in our disconnection from Earth and our bodies. I aim to support you in connecting to your body's own wisdom and intelligence, as well as the intelligence of the living Earth. I believe our bodies are doorways and when we allow ourselves to fully inhabit them we open ourselves to the guidance, support, and wisdom of the entire web of life.

Sessions are informed by eco-psychology, eco-feminism, bioregionalism, Somatics, attachment theory, and metaphysics.

A session might include:

Together we can explore:

Guided meditations and eco-somatic exercises
Bibliotherapy/ connecting to stories and archetypes
Land-based practices and rituals
Co-regulating with the Earth/ grounding practices
Connecting to your ancestors/ their practices and wisdom
Communion with plant spirits / co-creating plant medicines
Creative expression: journaling, poetry, drawing etc.
Connecting you to other resources / coming up with a holistically supportive plan
Tools and practices that help you uncover and integrate new awareness
Being heard, honored, and witnessed in a supportive space

Climate anxiety and grief
Blocks in sensuality / expression
Body related issues / insecurities
Relationship dynamics
Chronic illness
Regulation and re-parenting
Overwhelm and burnout
Individual and collective wounding / trauma

Time

Sessions are 60 minutes with the option to meet weekly, biweekly, or as needed. If there is a particular acute issue or if something comes up during a session that requires our energy and attention- multiple sessions can be had within a week. I never want to uncover something with you then leave you alone to navigate it if that isn't what feels best for you.

Setting

Sessions can be held via zoom or phone call, whatever makes you the most comfortable.

Cost

Individual sessions are sliding scale/ pay what you can from $35-$65.

Sliding scale is offered effort to create a more accessible matriarchal model of care, as well as trade if the financial cost of care is a barrier. Please send me an email if that is the case. Regardless of your circumstances, you are not alone and I am here to help.

Eco-somatic practices support nervous system regulation and re-patterning by learning how to trust and listen to our bodies while deepening our sense of belonging to place.
