How We Work

If something in you recognized this work

Many people arrive here not because they were searching for “somatic therapy,” but because something felt familiar.

A sentence.
A video.
A feeling of being seen without being explained.

If that’s you, you’re in the right place.

There is nothing you need to do next.

A quiet place to land

Our work centers the nervous system, lived experience, and careful pacing—especially for people who have felt dismissed, overwhelmed, or pressured to override their bodies to function.

This is not a space for fixing, performing, or being told who to be.
It’s a space where the body is given time to speak again.

Some people read quietly here for weeks or months.
Some bookmark and return later.
All of that is welcome.

Is this for me—and is this the time?

Before any session, most people ask themselves questions like:

• Do I feel respected here?

• Am I allowed to go slowly?

• Will my body get a say?

• Can I choose, pause, or stop if I need to?

Those questions matter.

If you’re not sure yet, you don’t need to decide anything.
Discernment is part of the work.

Ways we can work together (when you’re ready)

If you are curious about support, here are a few doorways you can explore.
These are invitations—not prescriptions.

Individual Sessions

For people who want one-to-one support that honors pacing, choice, and embodied self-advocacy.

Sessions may include:

• peer support

• somatic therapies

• nervous system education (when helpful)

• gentle movement, gesture, or stillness

• space to listen rather than push

You are never required to do anything.
We work with what your system has capacity for—nothing more.

For patients seeking integrative medical care alongside somatic support.

In these sessions, DD brings together:

• her role as a nurse practitioner

• body-based approaches

• attention to stress, trauma, and dismissal

• respect for lived experience alongside medical knowledge

Medical sessions are patient-focused.
Somatic sessions are client-focused.
Both are grounded in care, pacing, and consent.

For people who are unsure what they need but want to talk it through.

This is not an intake.
It’s not an assessment.

It’s a short conversation to see:

• whether this work feels supportive

• whether now is the right time

• or whether waiting makes more sense

Sometimes clarity comes quickly.
Sometimes it doesn’t.
Both are okay.

Reaching out

If and when your body says yes, you’re welcome to reach out.

You might:

• send an email with a question

• schedule a conversation

• ask about availability

There is no expectation to continue.
There is no pressure to decide quickly.

Staying, pausing, or leaving

People work with us for different lengths of time.

Some come for a season.
Some step away and return later.
Some decide this isn’t the right fit.

All of those outcomes are respected.

Success here isn’t measured by duration.
It’s measured by whether you feel more access to yourself.

Nothing is wrong with you.
You’re allowed to take this slowly.
Choice matters here.
Your body gets a say.

You don’t move through this work. You enter it when you’re ready.
