Pricing & Frequently Asked Questions

You don't need a particular diagnosis, a clear understanding of your difficulties, or even a recognizable history of trauma.

People often come to this work because something continues to happen despite their efforts to understand or change it. This may involve relationships, chronic tension, anxiety, emotional disconnection, or responses that seem disproportionate to present circumstances.

We can begin with what you are experiencing now.

There is no fixed structure.

We may begin with a conversation about what brings you to the session, then explore how the experience unfolds through sensation, movement, emotion, imagery, or subtle shifts in attention.

The work is collaborative and paced according to what becomes available.

You will not be asked to relive traumatic experiences or disclose more than you wish to share.

Yes. Much of somatic work involves attention, perception, movement, and relationship, all of which can be explored remotely.

Online sessions allow us to work with experiences as they arise in your own environment.

Some approaches involving physical touch are available only in person.

Not necessarily. You may recognize patterns in your life without identifying them as trauma.

Early experiences can shape how we relate to others, respond to stress, protect ourselves, and experience our bodies, sometimes without leaving clear memories or a recognizable story.

You don't need to arrive with an explanation. We can explore what is present without needing to define it beforehand.

Somatic work brings attention to how experiences are held and expressed through the body, rather than relying primarily on verbal understanding or analysis.

We may explore patterns of sensation, movement, emotion, and perception, including responses that developed long before they could be understood or expressed in words.

This approach can complement psychotherapy, offering another way of engaging with experiences that may remain difficult to access through conversation alone. It does not replace psychological or medical care when those services are needed.

There is no universal schedule.

Some people benefit from regular sessions, particularly when exploring longstanding developmental and relational patterns. Others prefer more time between meetings to allow experiences to settle and integrate.

We can find a rhythm that suits your needs, circumstances, and the nature of the work as it unfolds. There is no requirement to commit to a predetermined schedule.

This varies from person to person.

Some experiences can be explored within a few sessions, while longstanding developmental and relational patterns may benefit from a more extended process.

There is no predetermined timeline or number of sessions. The work unfolds at its own pace, and we can periodically reflect on what is changing, what stays, and what feels useful.

You are free to decide how long you wish to continue.

Yes. I offer individual somatic sessions online to clients in Canada and internationally, where applicable professional and local requirements permit.

Working remotely allows us to connect regardless of geographical distance, while maintaining the attentive, individualized nature of the work.

If you live outside Alberta, please mention your province or country of residence when making an inquiry so we can establish whether sessions can be offered in your location.

Somatic sessions are generally paid privately, although some extended health insurance plans may offer reimbursement depending on their coverage requirements.

I recommend checking directly with your insurance provider before booking. Coverage depends on your individual policy and the professional credentials and services recognized by your insurer.

Receipts are provided for all sessions, but insurance reimbursement cannot be guaranteed.

You are welcome to contact me with a brief description of what brings you to this work and whether you are interested in online or in-person sessions.

We can then establish whether my approach is suitable for your circumstances and discuss availability.

There is no need to share your full personal history in your initial inquiry. A few words about what you are looking for are enough.
