Pause
Allow time to arrive without needing to perform.
Somatic support · Body awareness and nature
Begin with what you notice.
Explore body awareness, gentle movement, optional bodywork, and guided time outdoors. We choose practices around your preferences, comfort, and pace.
Touch is optional. Bodywork has its own appointment and consent process.
A quieter way to pay attention.
Somatic means working with your lived experience of the body. That might include noticing contact with the ground, orienting to the room, simple movement, or taking time to pause.
You do not need to use psychedelics to work with me. Somatic support can stand alone or become part of preparation and integration. We discuss each practice together, and your choices guide the work.

Somatic support in Portland
More than one way to listen.
Body awareness and movement
A comfortable movement, noticing contact with a chair, or looking around the room can give us a starting point. You can change the invitation or choose conversation instead.
Massage and bodywork
Bodywork may be arranged as a separate appointment, with its own discussion of goals, scope, consent, and boundaries. Touch is optional, and preferences can change.
Guided time in nature
We can take an unhurried walk or spend time in an accessible outdoor setting. The route, pace, privacy, weather, and alternatives are part of the plan.
Comfort and choice
You do not need to be good at this.
There is no requirement to relax, close your eyes, feel a particular sensation, or find the right words.
A body-based practice can feel useful one day and unhelpful another. We stay in conversation about what you notice and what you want to change.
Tell me about mobility, sensory, communication, or other access needs. We can consider seated practices, indoor options, shorter pauses, or a different way of meeting.
For people who prefer to begin without touch, conversation and simple awareness practices are available. If another practitioner would feel like a better fit for bodywork, we can discuss referrals.
Bodywork is separate from psilocybin administration. We discuss each setting and its agreements clearly before making arrangements.
On its own, or alongside the program
Support that meets you where you are.
A place to begin
You can explore somatic support without planning a psychedelic experience. Appointments are $150 per hour, or $225 for 90 minutes. We begin with what you want support with and agree on a suitable setting. The rate is the same in Portland or online; out-of-city travel is quoted before booking.
Optional support alongside your program
Bodywork or guided time in nature can be added to your program at $150 per hour, or $225 for 90 minutes. These are separate appointments, chosen together, and do not replace your included preparation or integration meetings.
