Sebastopol, twenty minutes from a studio built for stillness

If you live in Sebastopol, you probably already know a few good practitioners.

People who drive the twenty minutes to my studio in Cotati are not usually starting from scratch. They have tried things, and they are looking for something that ties the body, the nervous system and the inner life together in one session.

I have worked this way since 2003. Hands-on bodywork and somatic coaching happen in the same hour, because the body and the story are rarely separate. A tight shoulder and a hard season of life often turn out to be the same conversation.

We follow whichever one is asking for attention.

High ceilings, wood floors, big paintings, deep armchairs beside tall teal curtains, and bowls and gongs set out in the open. It is spacious and designed as one piece, not a cramped treatment room tucked behind a front desk.

You walk in and the room tells your body it can slow down.

Twenty minutes is close enough to be practical and far enough that the drive itself helps you shift gears. Wear something comfortable, give yourself a little time at the other end, and let the road do some of the work of leaving the day behind.

Some come for the body, some for emotional or spiritual reasons, and many for a mix they cannot easily separate. Underneath it runs the same thread: a nervous system that has been working hard and would like a place to rest.

Helping that system settle is not a special project for special people. It is where the Capacity for Self Method™ begins for everyone.

A free 15-minute consult costs you nothing but the time. We talk about what you are looking for, and you decide what comes next.
