Somatic Therapy for Chronic Pain, Autoimmune Flares, and Nervous System Regulation in Los Angeles

Somatic support for the chronically ill and systemically overextended.

Whether you are navigating the heavy fog of chronic fatigue, the unpredictable flares of autoimmune conditions, or the structural complexities of EDS, MS, or IBS—you are carrying a weight that most people cannot see.

Maybe you have a stack of diagnoses, or maybe you are still searching for a name for what you’re feeling. You’ve been told it’s "all in your head," yet you feel the very real ache in your joints and the exhaustion in your bones.

I believe your body's report.

The "Gas and Brake" Conundrum

In the landscape of chronic illness, we often find the “gas and the brake” slammed on at the same time. Your system wants to move, but it is intelligently bracing for impact or shutting down to protect you.

This internal friction isn't a glitch, it is a brilliant survival strategy. I see this tension not as something to be fixed, but as a protective part of you that finally deserves a chance to rest and be heard. Together, we work to honor the exhaustion of that effort, slowly creating enough safety so that your life force can move toward healing instead of just toward holding on.

We don't use force to "fix" you.

Instead, we offer your system time and space to:

  • De-couple the Friction: We learn how to ease off the gas and lift the brake, little by little, at the speed of your safety.
  • Honor the Protection: We recognize your body's attempt to keep you safe, allowing the bracing to soften naturally.
  • Expand the Window of Tolerance: We move toward the small openings where your life force can flow freely, making room for joy alongside the reality of your experience.

Touch or No Touch: Your Choice.

Healing requires agency. For some, somatic touch and Craniosacral Therapy is the bridge that allows the fascia and the nervous system to finally thaw and reorganize. For others, the safety of a verbal virtual session provides the necessary distance to track sensations without feeling overwhelmed. 

In this space, you are the highest authority on your own experience. Whether we use the quiet, listening hands of Craniosacral Therapy or the supportive distance of a virtual screen, we prioritize your comfort above all else. Your "no" is as sacred as your "yes." 

Whether you need to move, lie down, turn off your camera, or have a session from bed, your body's needs are not an inconvenience here. We work at the speed of your system, not the demands of the world. We are looking for the sometimes small openings where your life force can finally begin to flow.

Move beyond just surviving the flares. Start finding a home within yourself.

I have a deep, personal commitment to supporting those who have been searching for relief for a long time—those who are tired of being dismissed and deeply want their experience to be both honored and truly helped.

I have seen people make profound, life-altering progress by learning the language of their own body and nervous system. It is a radical transformation that leads to a significant increase in quality of life. Watching a client move from the exhaustion of searching to the grounded ease of inhabiting is why I do this work.

Ways to Work Together

I invite you to choose a way to meet that fits your capacity.

Because chronic patterns are, by definition, longstanding, they often require time to gently release and recalibrate. We aren't looking for a quick fix that overrides your system, we are looking for a sustainable shift.

  • Your First Session: A 60-minute session to establish safety and experience the work.
  • 6-Sessions6-Sessions: A shorter package designed to address a specific flare or to begin building your somatic capacity.
  • 12-Sessions12-Sessions: My recommended package for those who have carried chronic patterns for years and want a dedicated, steady space to move from searching to inhabiting and connecting.
