Intensive Sessions
Have you ever had a session where you finally start to feel a shift, you’re accessing something juicy, you feel like you’re finally getting somewhere and then…the hour is up? What if you didn’t have to press pause just as you were getting somewhere? Longer sessions mean fewer interruptions and more space to do the work.

Space to process, reconnect & find steadier ground.
You’re tired of feeling like you’re barely holding it together, carrying deep grief, old wounds, or chronic stress in a world that keeps moving as if nothing happened.
You second-guess your emotions, your decisions, even your worth. You show up for everyone else, but silence your own needs. You push through the day, but feel numb, overwhelmed, or disconnected underneath it all. You’ve tried to “stay strong,” but it’s exhausting and it’s no longer working. Part of you knows there’s more to life than just coping or pretending. You’re craving peace, clarity, and relationships that feel real, and you’re starting to think it’s time to stop doing this alone…

Feeling disconnected from yourself
Overwhelmed by intense or unpredictable emotions
Feeling directionless or uncertain about your path
