Petaluma to Cotati: nineteen minutes north to a different kind of session

From Petaluma it is about nineteen minutes north on Highway 101 to my studio in Cotati.

People from Petaluma make that drive, and I want to tell you honestly what they find at the end of it.

A session with me is neither a spa treatment nor a medical appointment. It is a working session between two people, with my hands on the body and my attention on the person inside it.

We follow what your system is ready to do that day. Some sessions are mostly quiet bodywork. Others are mostly talking, breathing and noticing. Many are a mix of the two.

The work I do is hard to find at this depth. I have been at it since 2003, and I bring together bodywork, somatic coaching and an understanding of the nervous system that took a long time to build. Most places offer one of those.

If you have been looking close to home and nothing has quite fit, the drive is simply the cost of finding the right match.

Part of why people stay is the studio. It is large and open, with a high ceiling and warm wood floors, and everything in it belongs to a single calm space: table, armchairs, bowls, gongs and art.

Small rooms that share walls and hallways are common in this business. This is the opposite, and you can feel the difference as soon as you walk in.

People from Petaluma and the surrounding area bring all kinds of reasons: a body that has been tight for a long time, emotional weight they have been carrying, or a spiritual question that does not fit anywhere else.

You do not need a tidy explanation. Whatever you bring, the starting point is the same, helping your nervous system find steadier ground. If you want to know more about how that works, start with the Capacity for Self Method™.

Book a free 15-minute consult and ask me anything. If it feels right, we schedule a first session. If it does not, you have lost a quarter of an hour.
