Your body already knows.
It has been waiting for you to listen.
Hakomi-informed, spiritually grounded mentorship for people at life's thresholds — who've tried everything and still feel stuck.
You've Worked So Hard to Get Here.
You've read the books. Tried different therapies. Done the journaling, the meditation, the self-help. You've shown up as the perfect partner, the perfect parent, the perfect friend — giving everything you have to everyone around you.
And still something feels missing.
Not for lack of trying. You have tried harder than most people will ever know. But there's a quiet, persistent feeling that no matter how much you understand yourself intellectually — no matter how many insights you have, how many breakthroughs in therapy, how many times you think this is it, this is what changes everything — something essential hasn't quite shifted.
You're exhausted. Not just tired. Exhausted in that deep, cellular way that comes from years of performing, pushing, and proving.
And underneath all of that — though you may never have said it out loud — is a fear.
What if I'm broken? What if true healing just isn't possible for me? What if everyone else can get there but I never will?
You are not broken.
You never were.
What you are is a person who learned very early to adapt — to wear a mask so well that you may not even realize you're wearing it. To keep moving, keep achieving, keep showing up for everyone else while quietly abandoning yourself.
The part of you that's still stuck isn't a failure. It's intelligent. It's been protecting you. And it has been waiting — patiently, faithfully — for the right conditions to finally be heard.
Those conditions are not more effort. More insight. More willpower.
They are safety, presence, and someone who knows how to listen to what your body has been holding all along.
That's what this work is.
If you've tried everything and still feel stuck — you haven't failed. You just haven't yet tried going inward through the body.
That's where everything changes.
This Work May Be for You If…
You feel worn out from battling your body or mind, especially around emotional/overeating and negative self-image
You’re standing at a major life threshold — in a relationship, career, spiritual path, or sense of identity — and don’t know who you are anymore
You’ve tried diets, therapy, self-help, or spiritual practices, and still feel that something essential is missing and hasn’t quite integrated
You’re thoughtful and self-aware, yet sense that insight alone hasn’t brought the relief or clarity you hoped for
You long to be deeply seen and understood — not analyzed, fixed, or rushed
You’re drawn to somatic experiencing work and curious about what might unfold if you listened inward rather than pushed harder
This work tends to resonate with people who feel blocked — and who are ready to explore why with compassion and curiosity.
"I came to Andrea wanting a quick fix — to lose 15 pounds and release my body insecurity. She wisely saw through that and invited me into deeper work that could address the roots of my insecurity instead of just the surface. We uncovered long-held patterns that are now beginning to loosen. My work with Andrea has helped me immensely and I am deeply grateful."
— Z.R.
What This Work Is Really About
Many of us learned early to adapt — through food, control, disconnection, or over-functioning — in order to feel safe, loved, or okay.
Mindfulness and somatic experiencing creates the conditions to gently turn toward those adaptations rather than fight them.
Through somatic, mindfulness-based exploration, we listen together to what your body and inner world have been holding — often outside of
conscious awareness. As understanding deepens, old patterns often soften. New responses, choices, and ways of relating can begin to emerge organically.
Transformation in this work doesn’t come from effort or willpower.
It arises through being met.
"I came in feeling lost and empty, with no idea how much I'd learn about myself. I thought the answers would be easy and shallow — and found out there's a deep pool of things to discover. Looking inward is probably one of the most useful things I've ever done."
— Steve W.
What People Often Notice Over Time
While everyone’s process is unique, people often share:
They feel more emotionally alive and resourced — even when difficult feelings arise.
They begin to understand themselves in ways they never had before.
They recognize how early experiences shaped their current patterns — without blame or overwhelm.
The cycle of emotional overeating often begins to dissolve — without dieting, tracking, or control.
Their relationship with food, intimacy, and decision-making feels less reactive and more intentional.
Old adaptations lose their grip as they become more anchored in who they are now.
Setting boundaries feels clearer and less charged with guilt or fear.
Their body begins to feel like an ally rather than something to fight.
They feel more grounded, more at home in themselves, and less driven by survival patterns.
There is a steadier sense of integrity — living from who they are now rather than who they once had to be.
This work doesn’t push change.
It creates the conditions where change becomes natural.
When patterns are understood and integrated at the level they were formed, behavior often shifts — without force.
"I told myself this was the last thing I would ever try for myself. I wasn't expecting much. Then everything shifted. This is the most happiness I've ever had in my life for this long a period of time — and it's impacted me on every level."
— Russ F.
Work With Me
Single Session
70 minutes | $150
If you're curious about this work but not yet ready to commit to a longer journey, a single session is a beautiful place to start.
We'll slow down together. I'll meet you exactly where you are. And you'll leave with a sense of what it feels like to be accompanied rather than managed — to listen inward rather than push harder.
Many people find that one session opens something they want to keep exploring.
The Inner Journey
A 3-month somatic mentorship | 9 sessions | 70 minutes each | $1,500
For those who are ready to go deeper.
The Inner Journey is a spacious, unhurried container for real transformation. Over three months we meet three times per month, with one natural rest week built in — because integration is as important as the work itself.
This is not a program with a predetermined agenda. Each session is guided by what's alive in you. What we're doing together is creating the conditions for your own inner wisdom to come forward — gently, at the pace of your nervous system.
What's included:
9 sessions of 70 minutes each
Email support between sessions for brief reflections and integration
One built-in rest week per month to honor your nervous system
A genuine relationship with someone who has done this work herself
Sessions May Include:
Somatic inquiry informed by Hakomi principles
Mindfulness and present-moment exploration
Gentle movement or embodied experiments when supportive
Exploration of different parts and inner ages
Space for emotion, meaning-making, and integration
What becomes possible:
Understanding yourself in ways you never have before
Recognizing the patterns that have kept you stuck — with compassion, not judgment
Feeling more at home in your body, perhaps for the first time
Experiencing real shifts in how you relate to food, relationships, work, and yourself
Payment plans are available. A limited number of sliding scale spaces are held each month for those with genuine financial need — reach out and we'll talk.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Schedule a free 20-minute conversation, a chance to connect, ask questions, and feel whether this work is a fit for you.
What This Work Is Not
To support clarity and safety, it’s important to name what this mentorship is not:
It is not a diet, meal plan, or weight-loss program
It is not about fixing, optimizing, or overcoming yourself
It is not a quick transformation or breakthrough experience
It is not advice-giving or problem-solving focused
People seeking fast results or external answers often find this work frustrating.
Humans drawn to curiosity, depth, and listening often find it relieving.
Hi, I’m Andrea!
Interfaith Minister | Somatic Practitioner | Hakomi Level 1 Graduate
I didn't find this work through certainty or mastery. I found it by falling apart — and learning to listen to what that falling apart was trying to tell me.
I'm a West Point graduate and combat veteran who spent years searching for healing in all the places it wasn't — willpower, achievement, talk therapy, certifications, and titles. It wasn't until I found somatic experiencing that something finally shifted. Not because I tried harder, because I learned to listen to what my body had been holding all along.
That experience is why I do this work. And it's why I know, from the inside, that you are not broken. You just haven't yet been met with the safety and presence your body needs.
Today, I offer presence, attunement, and skillful guidance so your own inner wisdom can come forward — at a pace your nervous system can trust.
Ready to come home to yourself?
If you’re exhausted from fighting — with yourself, with food, or with a life that no longer fits — and you’re drawn to somatic work that supports real change through deeper listening, you’re welcome to reach out.
We’ll move at the pace your system allows.
