You’ve done the insight work. Now your body gets a say.
Relief is a paced, in-person somatic process for women depleted by holding it all together.
To move beyond understanding into embodied choice, gently, at the capacity your system can integrate.
7 one-to-one sessions in person in San Diego
Maybe it's in your neck,
shoulders or jaw by the end of the day.
Or your gut. Your hips or low back.
The headache that's become
an all too familiar visitor.
You start the day already feeling behind.
And your mind keeps moving long after
your body asks it to stop.
Some days it's all urgency and pressure.
Other days, it's flat. Distant. Far away.
Hard to feel much of anything.
And somewhere in the middle of holding
everything together for everyone else,
a quiet question surfaces:
When is it my turn?
It isn't only the tension.
It's the patience that runs thin with the people you love.
The presence you can't quite find,
even when you're in the room.
It's the things you used to do because you enjoyed them,
and can't remember the last time you did.
You may be thriving on paper.
Still, the more you push,
the further you seem to drift from yourself.
And you've wondered:
Where did I go?
You've done the work.
Functional medicine. Acupuncture. Chiropractic.
Physical therapy. Massage therapy.
Some of it helped, for a while. None of it fully stayed.
That isn't a failure or a sign something isn’t responding.
It’s revealing a system underneath.
A system doing exactly what it learned to do:
brace… protect.. stay ready.
It's an intelligent adaptation to what you've carried.
When so much of the work treats each symptom on its
own, the pattern underneath can keep organizing around
the same sense of threat.
Relief begins somewhere different.
Rather than forcing your body to let go, we create the conditions
that make letting go feel safe enough to happen,
Naturally. Holistically.
Introducing
Relief: A Somatic Unwinding
Relief is a short-term, one-on-one somatic process
designed to lower the pressure of
what has become too much, and
begin making room for what has been too little.
We start by understanding how your system
has organized itself. Then, session by session,
we offer it something it may not have had in a long time:
enough safety, support and space to soften.
IS RELIEF FOR YOU?
Relief may be the right fit if...
You live with chronic pain or tension and you're tired of managing it alone
Your sleep, digestion, energy or mood is affected, and you sense it's all connected
You've tried many approaches and want something that looks at the whole of you
You're ready for tolerable, sustainable change rather than a quick fix
You sense the patterns underneath your symptoms respond to gradual change
You're ready to commit twelve weeks to yourself, even if a part of you is nervous

Relief may not be the right fit if...
You're looking for a big cathartic or "trauma release" experience.
You're in acute crisis and need more immediate or clinical support
You're hoping one or two sessions will resolve years of patterns
You'd prefer to explore on your own first, in which case our nervous system foundation, self-paced course may be a gentler place to begin
You need virtual sessions. This version of Relief is in person only

If you're unsure, that's okay & understandable. Your Assessment Session exists so we can discover together.
What becomes possible
Imagine…
waking with a little more ease already in your body…
Noticing the moment tension starts to build, and finding your feet on the ground, pausing for a breath, before it takes over.
Meeting the people you love with more presence. Saying yes - and no - with less effort.
Having more range: more vitality when you want it, and more capacity to rest when you need it.
For many women, the shifts from Relief show up in how their mood and energy lifts, and the intensity of their symptoms settle.
A clearer mind, a sense of more room to exist inside. Every system has its own timing. Relief isn't a promise of a destination; it's a process of creating the conditions where change can unfold.
how it works
-
Locate
We start with where you are today. What's present, what's most pressing, what's already available to you.
-
Resource
We find what supports you: breath, orientation, sensation, movement, connection. A place to come back to.
-
Notice + Name
We bring gentle attention to sensations, emotions, and protective patterns, without forcing meaning onto them.
-
Navigate
We explore in small, manageable amounts, moving between what's challenging and what's supportive, never staying flooded.
-
Meet + Tend
When something meaningful emerges, we meet it with curiosity and care, including the parts of you that feel resistant, ashamed, or unsure.
-
Integrate
We give the experience room to settle, a return to relative ground, so what you discover can become available in everyday life.

Who You’ll Be Working With
your somatic guide
For 25 years I've worked with bodies through massage, bodywork, movement, and somatics. I've studied over 3,000 hours across holistic, body-based fields, have held two board certifications & practice across seven scopes of practice. I've taught more than 1,000 hours of trauma-informed bodywork and somatics in accredited schools, and developed somatic programs for rehabilitation clinics.
That breadth matters because you aren't one symptom. It lets me meet you with whatever approach best supports your system, rather than fitting you into a single method.
But what I hope you feel most is this: I'm human first. I'll be honest with you about what I can support. I'll stay curious about your experience instead of assuming I know it. And if something isn't landing, I want to hear it.

FAQ'S •
-
That question makes so much sense. You've invested time, money, and hope, and you deserve honesty: I can't promise a specific outcome. What I can offer is a process built around your system rather than a protocol, a first-hand experience of the work in your Orientation Session before you commit, and a reassessment at the end so we can both see what has changed.
-
It varies. Shifts often begin small: a deeper breath, a moment of ease, a little more space before you react. For patterns that have been forming for years, sustainable change tends to be gradual. That's part of why Relief spans twelve weeks rather than a few sessions.
-
Massage tends to work with the body. Talk therapy tends to work with the mind and story. Relief works with the relationship between them: sensation, emotion, thought, and protective patterns together. Because I practice across several scopes, I can draw on what your system actually responds to, rather than staying within one method.
-
That's fair. Three payment options are available. And if now isn't the right time for 1:1 care, there are gentler starting points, like [self-paced course / free podcast], until it is.
-
Relief is designed to take something off your plate, not add to it. Sessions are weekly for the first month only, then every other week. There's no homework to perform, just one or two simple practices if they feel supportive.
-
Your scope disclaimer. Suggested: Relief is a somatic educational and therapeutic process and isn't a substitute for medical or mental health treatment. It can complement the care you're already receiving.
-
Yes. Relief begins with your Nervous System Assessment + Somatic Orientation Session, so your care plan is built from your actual experience. It's also a chance for you to see whether working with me feels right.
-
No. We work in small, manageable amounts, and your consent guides every step. You never need to share more than you choose to.
-
Relief is available for both virtual and in person support.
Virtual sessions are conducted over a HIPAA-safe, video conferencing software.
In person sessions are conducted at:Medisoma
2321 Morena Blvd, Suite M
San Diego, CA 92110
-
You're welcome to reach out about rescheduling, or about anything that comes up related to what we're working on. [Add the between-session space once live.]
-
At your final session, we look at what has shifted and what still feels important. Some women feel complete. Some continue with more time in Relief. Others are ready for a deeper, longer-term scope of work. We'll decide together, based on what you need.
-
