These sessions are effective for people either looking to begin, or deepen, into an embodied meditation practice. My style of meditation is influenced by many traditions but primarily is derived from a Tibetan Buddhist lineage of somatic meditation that emphasizes releasing stored constrictions and working with the subtle energy body. My specialty is guiding people in practices that invite healing through experiencing a deeper, sacred connection with their body, their core self, and life.
The Ritual
The Ritual is a 12 week mentorship program for people wanting support in establishing a regular meditation practice.

This program includes:
six 45 minute individual live guided meditations including recordings to practice at home
two 45-60 minute design sessions where we will discuss the ABC's of setting up your own personal meditation space.
