One on One Sessions

A skill-building program tailored to you.

Consent is an embodied practice. Just like a language, an instrument, or a dance, it can become embodied. Fluency IS embodiment.

This program will change how you think, how you feel, and how you see the world around you.

I offer several kinds of private sessions in either a 8-week program or a 4-month program: Unblocked Creativity Coaching, Boundaries + Your Business, and Consent Lessons for Cis Men. All private sessions address systems of oppression that we both suffer from and participate in. Together we will build a practice for you, by you, that holds you accountable to yourself and to others. You can read the descriptions of each kind of session further down on this page.

When you book an 8-week or 4-month container with me, you get:

  • my Signal contact so we can text, voice memo, and even call between sessions if needed.

  • 1-hour sessions with room to flow; I never end a session before we both feel like we’ve come to a natural end.

  • my recorded 5-part class The NEW Basics (a $333 value), which provide us with a shared structure and vocabulary.

You can find pricing information at the bottom of this page.

Why do this work?

Creativity, imagination, and play flow when we feel safe. A strong consent practice can give us a sense of safety within ourselves and within our relationships.

This work can be scary because it’s deep and foundational. It is common to feel fear that, as you access your own power, some of your relationships will fall away. The ones that are holding you back will; the ones that are supporting you will grow stronger as you find deeper vulnerability, intimacy, and trust within them.

You’ll nix some codependent habits, find confidence and grounding, and watch yourself blossom with the ease that comes from this work. If I believed in regrets, the only one I’d have is that I didn’t start sooner.

This sense of safety gives us roots and confidence. We need confidence to let go of judgment, defensiveness, jealousy, comparing ourselves to others, and putting others down to lift ourselves up.

My approach to consent is holistic and embodied. It takes into account the gut-brain axis, polvyagal theory, trauma, and neurodiversity.

You’ll learn…

  • to confidently, easefully advocate for yourself and others

  • to express yourself more clearly

  • to perceive power dynamics quickly and intuitively

  • to feel and communicate your boundaries

  • to say “no.”

  • nonverbal cues of your and other people’s emotional states

  • to get in touch with your needs and desires

  • to feel your capacity and not go beyond it

  • breathing techniques and practice exercises that you can share with others

Learning about consent has given me a lot of structure to work with. And in that way, has made a lot of my interactions more restful, and less anxious because I have some kind of framework to lean on where I can build a request, and I’m not inventing the language, and I’m not inventing the structure....I think the thing that’s most exciting that I’ve gotten from this work was something that I didn’t anticipate at all, which is food for creativity.

Unblocked: Finding Your Creative Voice

This 8-week program is for emerging and established artists, designers, writers, and creatives. It’s based on Unblocked, my 6-week course on moving through creative blocks and building a strong self-consent practice. This program is for people who keep themselves small out of fear, whether of cancelation or of a toxic ex. It’s for those who’ve abandoned a creative practice or medium and want to find their way back. It’s for anyone wanting to embark on a new project without knowing where to start.

This program will help you access your creativity, work through perfectionism, mythbust the idea that making money off your work makes you a baaaaaaad evil Capitalist, and find your voice.

You’ll receive recordings of my Practice Saying No class and my Nonverbals class (a $150 value) before we begin. We will be working from my Boundaries + Consent for People Pleasers Workbook to find your voice through a personal consent practice.

We will work through:

  • Perfectionism

  • People Pleasing

  • Inner Critic

  • Imposter Syndrome

  • Your Voice

  • Asking for What You Want

Consent Lessons for Cis Men

None of us are taught consent growing up, or at least not in a clear, concise, and direct way. We’re just expected to know what we’re doing as though consent is like breathing. We’re all subject to social conditioning that prevents us from being in touch with our bodies and desires, believing we deserve to have our desires met, and communicating them to those we want to be close to. A lot of this is rooted in insecurity and ego, which are inextricably linked to Capitalism. My goal is to help you find your desires, find your integrity, and ask for what you want while getting and gauging consent on an ongoing basis and understanding the power dynamics at play between identities.

We'll first go over three consent frameworks so we're using the same language. Just like any language or piece of music, we need to learn the building blocks and work with them until they’re embodied, and then we can leave the work behind and flow. Fluency is embodiment. Through body-awareness exercises, we'll identify and move through shame and defensiveness. We'll find and practice communicating your boundaries as well as your desires. We’ll talk about masculinity and insecurity, confidence, and using consent with finesse. You’ll have weekly assignments . Finally we'll work together to craft an ongoing practice for you. My goal is to help you find your desires, find your integrity, and ask for what you want while getting and gauging consent on an ongoing basis and understanding the power dynamics at play between identities.

Boundaries + Your Business Coaching

This container is intended for those who are or want to be self-employed, are healers, coaches, artists, freelancers, practitioners, mental health professionals, those who are looking for more creativity and sustainability in their work, and those who are in career transitions.

Are you taking on projects that feel misaligned? Do you feel like you can’t stop working? Do you feel like you’re headed for burnout in your work life? Are you feeling creatively unfulfilled in your work? This class is for you.

We will practice saying no to projects that don’t align, we’ll set and negotiate rates, I’ll share my brand manual and marketing funnel, we’ll mythbust the idea that if you love what you do you shouldn’t make money from it and the idea that making money is the same as being a capitalist. We will brainstorm offerings that feel gratifying and sustainable, talk about your voice, how to find it, and where it can go, and fight the impulse to offer everything to everyone in favor of finding your unique niche. This work has proven again and again to make myself and others more money while staying within your capacity and loving what you do.

The pricing and available time frames are the same as above.

A ‘yes’ only has meaning if you are equally empowered to say ‘no.’

Here’s a testimonial from a client who I do private boundary sessions with. This should shed some light on the impact of the work.

Some details:

  • I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. All sessions must be paid for at least 24 hours in advance.

  • All sessions are currently on Zoom until further notice.

  • I approach this work as an educator and a consultant.  I am not a mental health professional. My practice is my own.
