Introductory offer: Block of 4 coaching sessions for $699 ($80 off my regular rate). First time clients only.
My scope of practice:
Buddhist Practice and mindfulness training.
Buddhist practice and principles are central to all of the work I do. I offer a non-dogmatic and non-religious style of dharma which emphasizes the most practical teachings. I support clients to meaningfully integrate Buddhist practice and principle into daily life. Practical dharma is a path of presence and responsiveness which allows you to respond compassionately to whatever presents itself. I am particularly interested in the interface of dharma and the experience of trauma and helping people with sensitive nervous systems to integrate dharma practices into their distinct experience of living.

2. Holistic wellness coaching.
The experience of wellbeing is conditioned by identifying and appropriately engaging the variables in ones life that impact how you feel. Sleep, physical movement, what we consume, the quality of our relationships, how we make a living, spiritual practice, financial consciousness, our healing practices, creativity and recreation all contribute to a sense of wellbeing in life. I work with clients to be present to these variables and to the results in the laboratory of their own body, hearts and minds with the goal of a more fulfilling and realized experience of living.

3. Somatic experiencing for trauma resolution.
Somatic experiencing is a body centered approach to working with Trauma. Trauma symptoms arise from events which have a long term impact the human stress response system. Trauma (whether related to single events in adulthood, early life experiences or social oppression) has a long term effect on emotional regulation, perception of the world, self image and relational capacities. I work to support people to be more present and responsive to the experience of trauma so that they may better manage and resolve it.

4. Addiction and Recovery.
I have been part of the Buddhist recovery movement since it’s earliest days. I was on the founding treatment team at Refuge Recovery, a Buddhist centered addiction treatment center in Los Angeles and my story is published in the book “Refuge Recovery”. My unique approach to working with addiction patterns is rooted in a Buddhist approach to recovery and centered around an understanding of the central role Trauma often plays in addiction. Trauma is an often overlooked dimension of addiction. Trauma creates chronic regulatory issues in the nervous system. Addiction patterns can be seen as an attempt to regulate the dyseglation associated with trauma. These behaviors offer short term relief but ultimately compound suffering. Recovery therefore, necessarily involves the management and resolution of the trauma which underlies it. This program builds on the foundation of Buddhist Recovery by centralizing an awareness of trauma as a causal factor and integrating practices and principles from Somatic Experiencing and other trauma resolution systems.
