    As a holistic practitioner, I do not accept insurance, or rather insurance does not accept this work. I’m not a therapist and I don’t diagnose or treat symptoms. I work with fellow humans who have a desire to grow.

  • Physical products, including journals, are eligible for exchange or return for any damaged product within 30-days of purchase from The Cyclical Seed® site.

    All service-based offerings, digital products, sessions, and courses are considered final sale and refunds are not accepted.

  • Yes, for somatic or breathwork sessions, I offer in-person sessions for those in the New York City area and who prefer to meet in person. These sessions, along with my other offerings, are also all available online from any location.

    If you're in the New York area and interested in group work, please reach out and I'd look forward to discussing private groups or events for meditation and/or breathwork.

    Please note that in-person sessions have a higher rate as it is increasingly more expensive to rent space in NYC.

  • All of the practices I offer are trauma-informed or trauma-healing, and adaptable. Whether you’re brand new, hesitant, or navigating a complex history, our work can be tailored to meet you exactly where you are. We can move gently, slowly, and begin with resourcing practices that support safety and attunement.

    Before we begin, you’ll complete a health history and intake form. We’ll review any relevant considerations together, especially for modalities like trauma-release breathwork, which may have specific contraindications.

    Your well-being and readiness always guide the process. And if I believe my work isn’t the right fit for you at this time, I’ll let you know with care and transparency.

    If you have medical concerns, please consult your physician. And you’re always welcome to reach out through the contact form or by booking a free 20-minute call.

  • Coaching and therapy are distinct modalities. Coaching emphasizes conscious action and future goals, while therapy often focuses on diagnosis and past wounds. That said, my work isn’t superficial coaching. It’s rooted in psychosynthesis, a spiritually grounded depth psychology focused on integrating all parts of the self, from trauma and shadow to intuition and purpose.

    Aside from my distinctly coaching offering, I offer deep somatic and presence-based healing. This is alternative, holistic work so not symptom management, but true healing. It’s about feeling, attuning, and reclaiming the fullness of being human, while finding meaning and personal will. Past wounds emerge organically but not as endless discussion but as insight and awareness to process and move through.

    If something feels outside my scope, I’ll always let you know with transparency and care. You're welcome to visit my About page for a list of my extensive certifications and ask me about my self-implemented client confidentiality, ethics, and best practices.

  • Somatic healing is based on the understanding that the body, not just the mind, holds memory, emotion, and lived experience. Unresolved trauma or overwhelm can live in the nervous system, shaping how we feel and relate, often without us realizing it.

    Notice how we get butterflies in the belly when nervous, teary eyed when sad, flush when angry? These are the body’s physiological responses to emotions moving through us.

    Emotions are physiological. But when we're overwhelmed, that natural flow gets interrupted, and the nervous system can become stuck in survival states. Somatic work helps complete what was once interrupted, supporting the body’s innate ability to release, resolve, and return to presence.

    Somatic healing is “bottom-up” using movement, breath, sensation tracking, co-regulation, and compassionate awareness to restore safety and alignment from within (whereas talk therapy, for example, is a top down approach).

  • Trauma isn’t a pathology, It’s an adaptive, protective response wired for survival. Healing trauma means restoring a sense of safety so you can be present with yourself again. Presence is the gateway back to your true self, because trauma creates barriers to the heart, which is inherently self-healing.

    While trauma can stem from acute events (“big T”), trauma healing work also works with chronic, developmental, or relational wounding (“small t”) - the subtle yet lasting ways we disconnect from ourselves to survive. These survival strategies become protective identities that mask the authentic heart.

    True healing supports the completion of what was once interrupted: stored impulses, repressed emotions, and unresolved stress. As we meet those parts with compassionate presence, the nervous system can slowly restore its natural flow.

    Not everything in us is a trauma response, and it’s important not to reduce ourselves to that. But by honoring the ways your body and psyche once protected you, you can now choose a new path, grounded in safety, wholeness, and self-trust.

    Whether or not you identify with the word trauma, you may relate to chronic stress, emotional suppression, or grief. Whatever the name, healing means returning to the body, to presence, and to your innate resilience.

  • Everything. True healing is a natural, human process rooted in spiritual wisdom and philosophy, long before therapy or treatment protocols existed. It’s not about fixing; it’s about remembering who you are beneath the layers of survival and defense.

    Trauma, including unprocessed emotions, disrupts our life force and severs us from our authentic self. At its core, trauma is often a loss of meaning, a spiritual crisis. Healing restores that meaning through compassionate presence and alignment with the will of your heart.

    Importantly, spirituality is not a means of escapism, future fixing, nor compulsivity; that’s delusion. Spirituality, to me, is you connecting to the reason you are here, your heart’s will. That’s the way.
