A Six-Month Private Bodywork Mentorship

It has spent a lifetime adapting.

To pregnancy and birth. Surgery. Injury. Stress. Scar tissue. The way you move. The way you eat. The way you breathe. The things you've experienced. The ways you've learned to hold yourself together.

So I don't expect your body to unravel all of that in a two-hour session.

Sometimes we have those incredible sessions where something shifts almost immediately. Tissue changes. Sensation returns. Something that has been holding for years finally lets go.

But that isn't something I require from your body.

Most often, change needs time.

Time to create safety.

Time to listen.

Time to understand what's actually contributing to the patterns we're seeing.

Time to try something, integrate it, and come back.

Time to unravel.

And perhaps most importantly -

time to be witnessed.

Body & Being was created to give us that time.

Six Months. Twelve Sessions. One Body We Get to Know Deeply.

Body & Being is a six-month, one-to-one mentorship combining ongoing bodywork, assessment, education, movement and between-session support.

We meet twice each month for approximately two hours.

Our first session is closer to three hours so we can slow down and really understand where you're beginning. We'll explore your history, symptoms, goals, posture, movement, scars, breath, pelvic function, nervous-system patterns, nourishment, digestion and other pieces that may be relevant to what you're experiencing.

From there, we follow your body.

There is no predetermined Month One, Month Two, Month Three protocol.

Because bodies aren't linear.

For one woman, we may discover that scar tissue needs our attention first.

For another, her movement and pressure patterns may be contributing significantly to what she's experiencing.

For someone else, nourishment, digestion, bowel function, sleep or other biochemical and lifestyle factors may need support before we expect her mechanics to meaningfully change.

And sometimes the nervous system is telling us that the most important thing we can do is slow down.

The question isn't, “What are we supposed to work on this month?”

It's:

What needs our attention now?

And we continue asking that question for six months.

The Work

Depending on your body, your goals and what we discover together, our work may explore:

Nervous System & Regulation
Safety, capacity, breath, guarding, tension, sensation and the ways your nervous system influences how you inhabit and move through your body.

Biomechanics & Posture
The relationship between your feet, hips, pelvis, spine, rib cage and breath; how you move; and how your body manages load and pressure.

Nourishment & Biochemistry
An in-depth look at food patterns, hydration, digestion, bowel habits, energy, sleep and other lifestyle factors that may be influencing how you feel and function.

Scars, Fascia & Tissue
Hands-on work with the belly, pelvis, fascia and scars from birth, C-section, hysterectomy, other surgeries or injury.

Pelvic Function & Support
Pelvic-floor awareness, pressure management, leaking, heaviness, pelvic organ support, sensation and connection. When appropriate and desired, our work may also include vulva mapping and internal pelvic bodywork.

Movement & Repatterning
Individualized exercises, breath, mobility, strength and movement practices designed around what we are actually seeing in your body.

Emotion & Embodiment
Space to notice what arises as we work - not because every physical pattern has an emotional explanation, but because our bodies are where we experience our lives.

The Framework

Although the order changes from person to person, our work continually moves through a larger process:

ASSESS & WITNESS
Understand where you are and what your body is communicating.

CREATE THE CONDITIONS
Explore what may be influencing the patterns we're seeing and give your system the support it needs.

UNRAVEL
Use hands-on work, awareness and support to create space for change.

REPATTERN
Explore new possibilities through movement, breath, strength, mobility and body awareness.

INTEGRATE
Allow what happens on the table to become something you can actually carry into your life.

And then?

We reassess.

Because this isn't a straight line.

What You Receive

12 private sessions over six months
Two sessions per month. Each session is approximately two hours, with our first and final sessions extended to approximately three hours for comprehensive assessment and reassessment.

Comprehensive body, postural and movement assessment

In-depth food and lifestyle schema

Individualized bodywork, which may include abdominal, sacral, pelvic, scar and fascial work, vulva mapping and internal pelvic bodywork when appropriate and consented to.

Personalized movement and integration practices based on your body rather than a generic exercise program.

Between-session mentorship and messaging support for questions, observations and integration.

Ongoing reassessment so that our work can change as your body changes.

A personalized integration plan at the end of our six months together.

Who Is Body & Being For?

You might come into this work because you're experiencing:

Pelvic or abdominal tension.
Leaking.
Heaviness or pressure.
Changes in pelvic support.
Pain or discomfort.
Scar tissue from birth or surgery.
Changes after C-section or hysterectomy.
Numbness or changes in sensation.
Discomfort with intimacy.
Chronic holding or tension patterns.
A body that simply doesn't feel like it used to.

Or maybe you can't point to one specific problem.

You just know that you want to understand your body differently.

You want more than another appointment where someone works on the place that hurts and sends you home.

You want someone willing to look at the whole picture with you.

And you want time.

Body & Being is a six-month commitment to your body and the relationship you have with it.

It isn't about forcing your body into the position we think it should be in.

It isn't about fixing you.

It's about learning your patterns.

Understanding what influences them.

Creating the conditions for change.

Giving the unraveling somewhere to happen.

And having someone there long enough to witness it.

Your body. Your pace.

We have time.
