Join us for a 4-session course on Somatic Intelligence:
EMBODIED INTELLIGENCE GROUP FORMING March, 2026

A group is designed for therapists, teachers, coaches, and healing facilitators who are interested in bringing somatic awareness into their practice.
Each session creates a culture of embodied awareness as you learn to find your felt sense, while helping others to find theirs.

We will cover themes such as:
- reading clients’ nonverbal cues
- movement, stillness, sound/prosody, and interpersonal resonance
- the emotional body
- somatic countertransference
- kinesthetic empathy
- embodied resilience

Meeting Dates:
Wednesdays, May 6,20, June 3, 17
Time: 10:30–12:00 PM EST via Zoom
Cost: $360 for all four sessions (payable via Zelle or Venmo)

I look forward to hearing from you!

Marketing for psychotherapy has become unrecognizable. First, there was an influx of new methods targeting clients and psychotherapists who feel the need to add another method to their practice so they can feel "good enough."

But it has gotten even worse. Now I see a barage of ads for therapists to "grow their practice," offered by other therapists (who...have free time to make these platforms, so is their practice thriving?). The target is shifting from clients, to clients and therapists, and now...therapists are marketing to other therapists.

I'm baffled as to what has happened to the dignity of psychotherapists and the intergrity of psychotherapy practice. What is happening to our intrinsic value as professionals?

Does anybody else feel this way?

I was honored to be interviewed by Shruti Rustagi, connecting my previous life as an aerial artist with helping clients in somatic psychotherapy treatment to learn how to let go. I hope you enjoy it!
