What an Individual Healing Session Looks Like
So each week, we celebrate each step, big and small, together. We tweak things to make them work for you. Nothing is forced. Our humanity is welcome.
Individual healing sessions can be any combination of mindful movement, guided meditation, chakra healing, crystal healing and reiki, depending on what you need in the moment.
Each week, we begin with a check in. You tell me your successes and challenges around using the self-care tool I’ve shared with you the week before. You also tell me your noticings: a difficult conversation that felt a bit easier than it would have in the past, a boundary you set with someone, an afternoon you took to just nap.
I listen carefully and reflect back all the changes you’re bringing into your life because this work is subtle and happens deep down. It’s not like working out and seeing muscles build before your eyes. Spiritual muscles are different. So each week, we celebrate each step, big and small, together. We tweak things to make them work for you. Nothing is forced. Our humanity is welcome.
Since most folks arrive to their weekly session stressed, frazzled, overworked, having combatted Bay Area traffic or public transportation, we do some breath-guided movement to come out of our head and into our body. This also helps folks reconnect to their bodies as many of us feel very disembodied, living more in our heads than in our bodies.
I lead you through guided meditation (this could include breath awareness, gratitude, chakras, visualizations, whatever is called for in the moment). Finally, I set you up in a restorative posture (again depending on what you need that day). Restorative postures bring deep release of muscles and emotional blockages.
At the same time, I place crystals on your person, and do reiki on you to clear out any physical or energetic toxins and bring balance to your system.
You leave the session feeling deeply relaxed and charged up for the rest of your week.

With holidays coming, anxiety is mounting for many, particularly for QTPOC folks, stepping into the spaces where our trauma originates- and often still lives. Here’s a tip that you can incorporate (like now) to set yourself up for a (teensy bit) more easeful holiday time.
