What to Expect in a Session
In our time together, you can expect a client-led, deeply personal experience. Each session is a journey into your inner world, where we explore your body’s wisdom and sensations with gentle, intentional touch. Creating a safe, welcoming space for you is my priority, and I work with you to build trust and comfort throughout our time together. The process is fluid, guided by your needs and pace, allowing you to move through healing in your own way. Together, we’ll honour your body’s natural responses and work to restore balance and calm.

The Gentle Path to Whole-Person Healing

Benefits and Risks

Somatic therapy offers powerful tools for healing, but like any therapeutic process, it can bring up emotions or sensations that may feel intense or unexpected. It’s important to move at your own pace, and I’ll always encourage open communication to ensure your comfort. Some may experience temporary emotional discomfort as the body processes stored sensations, but this is often a sign of release and healing.

​

The benefits of somatic therapy are wide-reaching, from greater emotional resilience to a deeper connection with your body. By exploring your inner landscape through safe touch and mindful awareness, many clients report reduced stress, improved emotional regulation, increased body awareness, and a profound sense of relaxation and well-being. Together, we’ll work to create a space where healing can unfold naturally, supporting you in finding balance and peace.

Confidentiality

​
Your privacy is extremely important, and everything you share with me will remain confidential. However, there are certain situations where I am required by law to break confidentiality:

​

1. If you are at risk of harm to yourself and have a plan to do so, I must contact the hospital for a 72-hour observation.

2. If you are planning to seriously harm another person, I must contact the person at risk and, if necessary, law enforcement.

3. If I become aware of child or elder abuse, I am obligated to report it to the appropriate protective services.

4. If a person’s past abuse of a child is a risk to current children, I am required to report it as well.

​

For minors, I am required to inform your parents about your emotional health, except when sharing this information may put you at physical risk from a caregiver. I am also required to report any sexual relationships with older peers or adults if you are under 16.

Lastly, if we meet online, please be aware that, while rare, online communications are never fully secure. By signing this document, you acknowledge that you understand this limitation.

Cancellations

​
I kindly ask for 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your session. If the cancellation is made less than 24 hours in advance, the full session fee will still be required. This policy allows for the opportunity to reschedule and gives other clients the chance to benefit from the availability.

If I need to cancel or reschedule, I will provide you with at least 24 hours' notice. In the event of a missed appointment without proper notice, your next session will be offered free of charge. I understand that emergencies happen, such as sudden illness, accidents, or unexpected changes in childcare, and we can discuss rescheduling in those cases.
