No. While I specialize in supporting those recovering from TBI through modalities like Somatic Experiencing®, Polyvagal Theory, and mindfulness, I also work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or those simply seeking a deeper connection to themselves and their nervous system. This work meets you where you are—whether you’re healing, growing, or remembering what safety feels like in your body.

SE is a body-based approach to healing trauma and stress. It helps release stuck survival energy like fight, flight, or freeze—without needing to relive or retell your trauma.

SE focuses on the body, not just thoughts or stories. We follow your present-moment sensations, breath, and impulses to restore regulation from the inside out.

Somatic Experiencing supports a wide range of concerns. It can be especially helpful for those navigating trauma—whether developmental, acute, or complex—as well as people recovering from traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion. Many clients come seeking support for anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, chronic fatigue, or sleep difficulties. Others arrive with chronic tension, medical trauma, or a persistent feeling of being stuck or disconnected from life. Whether your challenges are recent or longstanding, SE offers a gentle and effective path toward regulation and reconnection.

After a traumatic brain injury, the nervous system can become dysregulated—swinging between overwhelm and collapse, or becoming easily overstimulated. SE works gently with the body’s physiology, not just its psychology. It allows the system to slow down, build capacity, and process stress without triggering more symptoms. SE complements cognitive rehab, occupational therapy, and/or mindfulness practices. It offers a profound felt sense of safety and agency in the body.

No. You are never required to share details of your trauma. The work happens through the body—and we trust what emerges.

We start with a check-in, then follow your body’s cues—like breath, sensations, or movement. Sessions are quiet, collaborative, and grounded in safety.

That depends on what you're bringing in, your goals, and the pace of your nervous system. Some people come for a few sessions to work through a specific issue or life transition. Others engage in longer-term support as part of their ongoing integration and healing process. There’s no “right” number. You’re always in choice, and we revisit your intentions together as we go.

Both. You can meet with me at our sanctuary in Tucson or work together via Zoom. Some do a combination. We’ll choose what feels best for you.

Not directly. While sessions are not in the herds presence, the horses are always part of the field, even from a distance.

In-person and virtual essions are offered on a sliding scale of $90–$125. A limited number of reduced rate spaces are available each month—please inquire if needed.

Although we are NOT a non profit, each session directly supports the care and well-being of the sanctuary.

If you feel called to explore this work, I invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation or reach out by email to learn more or book a session.
