Staying Steady
& Finding Joy in Uncertain Times
In-Person Group:
Stay connected with your heart and integrity rather than losing yourself in anxiety or numbed out activity
Enjoy being in a Compassionate Body Dialogue rather than arguing with your inner critic about what’s important to you in your life
Stay steady, grounded, and nourished amidst all of the unpredictability of political, personal, and family news
Access your body’s own innate wisdom for vitality, healing, connection, resiliency and yes, even joy
What’s this Group about?
You’ll learn hands-on skills for emotional self-care. You’ll gain enough understanding of the human nervous system to help yourself move from stress to regulation. Together we'll practice techniques to access your body's innate capacity to integrate and move through highs and lows. You'll leave each session with simple mind-body healing knowledge that restores and settles. You’ll also receive practices and/or journaling prompts to work with in between sessions to help integrate the material.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you going to offer this online soon?
Yes! I will offer an online version of this group starting in October. Please contact me if you want to be on the early notice list for that group.
How do I decide if group work is a good fit for me?
This group is a good fit if you read the description above and thought, yes I need this :-)
Group work is a good fit for many people because you learn from your own experience and from others, you receive healing from sharing and witnessing experiences together, and grow stronger connections internally as well as relationally when you’re seen and heard in a group.
How do I know if I need individual sessions rather than group work?
If you’re in crisis, or if the idea of being in a group is overwhelming to you, individual sessions might be a better fit. In individual sessions, you can work with me on specific situations, past traumas, and current challenges. Also, there are times that a combination of group work and individual sessions is perfect.
What if I don’t know whether I want group or individual work?
Contact me directly! I’m happy to help you sort that out and get the help you need.
I’m a Somatic Experiencing professional, is this offering for me?
You are welcome in this group for your own personal growth! If you’re looking for professional guidance or sessions towards your SEP certificate, please check out my Group Case Consultations, or my 4-month program Getting Going with SE in Groups: Guidance for SE Professionals, or contact me for personal sessions or individual consults.
