1. What can I expect during my first private session?

You’ll begin with a short questionnaire and a consultation (by phone or in person) so I can learn about your goals. Sessions are one hour, usually held in my office, and together we’ll create a personalized plan. Most clients benefit from working together for 8 to 12 weeks.

Each session is tailored to your unique needs. We might blend grounding practices, guided meditation, breathwork, sound healing, gentle movement, or reflective writing.

5. What’s the difference between yoga therapy and regular yoga?

Regular yoga classes focus on general movement, strength, and flexibility in a group setting. Yoga therapy is one-on-one, personalized, and holistic, blending movement, breathwork, and mindfulness to support specific goals or challenges.

6. What happens during a sound healing session?

You’ll relax in a massage chair or on a floor mat while I use instruments over and around your body. Vibrations and tones help restore balance and bring deep relaxation. Each session can be customized with instruments you enjoy most.
