What to expect during your first private session

Here’s what to expect out of our first session together:

Consultation

Each private or semi-private session starts with a phone consultation to ensure that we’re compatible and that I’m able to meet your needs. After filling out the intake forms prior to your first session, we will have a more detailed in-person conversation during your first session which includes movement analysis, posture assessment, and habitual movement patterns. This provides us the opportunity to connect and chat about the best course of action for fulfilling your goals—both on and off the mat.

Course of action: an essential piece of your wellness plan

Rather than addressing movement restrictions as an isolated problem, I gaze through my lens of clinical experience to find ways of treating you as a whole human being. We’ll work together to build a holistic and sustainable course of action modeled on your physical, mental, and emotional bodies. The aim is to set forth a program designed just for you which combines corrective yoga techniques with proven strategies that elevate the senses (i.e. breathwork, meditation, mindful movement) for the total restoration and reformation of the body, mind and soul. It may sound lofty, but we’ve got this!

And—to best support you even when we’re not together, I provide practice videos, text support, and an ergonomics evaluation of your desk space.

As necessary, we’ll also look beneath the surface to unearth any underlying behaviors or limiting beliefs that may be perpetuating pain. If your needs ever stray from the scope of our practice, I have a strong referral network with other integrated wellness practitioners as well.

Logistics

• Sessions are 60-75 minutes long.

• Bring comfortable clothes that you can move in, as well as a yoga mat. I provide all other props. If you prefer your own props bring those as well!

Bottom line: this is a safe and sacred, worry-free, confidential space in which we will develop a customized plan that was quite literally made for you.
