Indigenous Body Centered Mindfulness Therapy
Sessions in person in NYC, or online
A Sacred Pause
We begin each session with a guided meditation to ground and attune our nervous systems. We slow things down enough to listen to what our bodies, hearts, and spirit are really communicating. From there, the work unfolds intuitively as we navigate what wants to be witnessed, processed, moved.
With mindfulness we journey towards liberation. With embodied radical compassion, we shine a light to the places you do not have to navigate alone.
Indigenous
The Indigenous aspect of my work honors healing as something not seperate from the healing of our ancestors, our decendants, kin of the natural world, and our mother Earth. This work is a remembering the original medicine, a return to ways of being that center relationship, ceremony, and deep listening to the land, the body, and each other. It is an acknowledgement of the Great Mystery of life and the sacred higher powers and spirit teams that walk with us. It goes beyond “mental health” to emotional, spiritual, and transpersonal healing.
Body Centered
In our work, we explore feeling through the body rather than trying to figure things out with the mind. The body carries deep wisdom that often gets bypassed because it can be hard to be with difficult emotions. Together we slow down, listen, and create enough safety for the body to reveal what it needs. From this place, there is opportunity to feel a real shift in the body and nervous system, a sigh of relief, a gentle landing.
Mindfulness
Through mindfulness, we practice becoming loving observers of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. With radical compassion, we learn to meet every part of ourselves with honesty and presence. As awareness deepens, we begin to recognize the patterns that have been looping for years, often since childhood. In this gentle seeing, the patterns begin to soften, and space opens for new ways of being to emerge.
Session Fee ($125-$175)
Sliding Scale
A sliding scale is used to invite people to pay according to their available resources. Those with greater financial privilege contribute more, allowing those with less access to pay according to their means. This helps sustain the work while keeping it as accessible as possible. The exchange that feels nourishing and sustainable for me to be well is between $125 and $175 per session. The sliding scale is available on a case-by-case basis, and I’m happy to discuss what feels doable for you during our consultation.
Sliding scale inspired by the framework of Radical History Club, which encourages those with greater financial privilege to contribute more so that access is broadened for all. For guidance on assessing where you might fall on the scale, you can visit their “Sliding Scale” page, which offers a helpful breakdown for determining what you may be able to contribute.
