Worth the drive from Napa: somatic bodywork and coaching in Cotati

Somatic bodywork and coaching that people travel for.

Napa to Cotati is about fifty-two minutes. That is a real drive, and I do not take it lightly when someone makes it.

Here is what I hope you find when you get here.

Why the longer drive

I have worked with bodies and nervous systems since 2003, and the combination I offer, hands-on bodywork with somatic coaching in the same session, is difficult to find done at this level. People come from across the North Bay for it.

From Napa, the question is usually not whether it is worth fifty minutes. It is whether a session can be set up so that the trip feels like part of the care.

Make it an easy day

Choose a time away from the heaviest traffic, bring water, and leave yourself an unhurried hour afterward. Many people from Napa book a session on a day when nothing else is waiting for them, so the drive home is quiet and the rest of the day is theirs.

If the drive is more than you want to take on regularly, I also offer mobile sessions and virtual sessions.

A studio you can exhale in

The studio is spacious and quiet, with high ceilings, wood floors and large paintings on the walls. It is one cohesive room: a table, armchairs by tall teal curtains, bowls and gongs, and plenty of space between them.

It is the opposite of the tight little shared rooms common at massage places, and I think you will feel that difference the first time you walk in.

What people bring

People coming from Napa County bring emotional, spiritual and body-based reasons, often tangled together. Maybe you are carrying more than you can set down, or something in you is asking for a different kind of attention.

You do not need to explain it in advance. Learning to regulate the nervous system, to settle and then stay present, is for everyone, and it is where the Capacity for Self Method™ starts.
