Not in the traditional sense. Of course, my decade of being a PT does not disappear - it has most certainly informed how I operate now. DESCEND is a somatic + energetic + womb-centered embodiment container that may include pelvic work if your body invites it. I do continue to hold my license in physical therapy to remain in integrity with this work.

Yes, actually it's ideal! This work beautifully supports preconception, pregnancy (with plenty of adaptations), postpartum, and long-term pelvic resilience. The care you'd receive during this time will no doubt ripple out through to all the mothers in your field and future.

For my highly detailed, investigative women only.. Throughout our six months together, you can expect a combination of any or all of these occurring:

• Full‐body and pelvic baseline mapping (nervous system, cycle, energetic, posture)

• Somatic regulation + nervous system recalibration (to self and each other)

• Womb/pelvic alchemy: de-armoring, softening, opening - if and when your body says yes

• Emotional/energetic excavation: ancestral, relational, sexual imprints released through body-based ritual (movement, breath, sound, womb care)

• Identity reclamation: re-aligning with your body’s truth, sovereignty, boundaries, pleasure template

• Voice, presence, and expression embodiment: re-grounding in your open centers and authentic self-expression post-descent

• Ongoing support between calls (limited, respectful of your nervous system) for integration and reflection

• Custom embodied rituals, cycle-syncing practices, pleasure-reconnection protocols, and long-term integration tools

I'm so glad you asked. There is a map we can loosely follow, but I do not adhere to this strictly (life happens and your body will dictate the session in the moment).

But to put minds at ease, my DESCEND map looks like this:

1. The Gate of Sensation – Somatic Baseline + Nervous System Reset

Grounding, body signals reawakening, cycle and womb check-in

2. The Underworld Dive – Excavation of Conditioning + Imprints

Pattern mapping: relational, familial, sexual, emotional

3. The Clearing – Somatic Release + Re-patterning

De-armoring, release work (pelvis, womb, nervous system), ritual movement/breath/sound

4. The Homecoming – Reclaiming Power + Self-Ownership

Boundaries, pleasure reclamation, identity alignment, womb wisdom

5. The Voice of the Body – Embodied Expression + Truth

Vocal and energetic embodiment, emotional fluency, communication reclaim

6. The Return – Integration, Embodiment, Long-Term Foundation

Lifestyle rituals, cycle syncing, ongoing embodiment practices, preparation for next life phases

While this can keep us moving, I will never override your body's needs with "curriculum." There's no pressure to perform or process.

We listen to what's already present. We let your identity reorganize from the inside out.

Between sessions, I offer brief reflections when useful - nothing constant, nothing urgent.

Over the course of my career and private practice, I've witnessed and experimented with different timeframes and models of care. Does 2 times a week for 6-8 weeks sound familiar? 😆 Yeah, that wasn't suitable for me either.

I switched to mostly one-off sessions and small packages, which have been extremely potent for my busy clients. And, for a long time, I didn't think anyone would want to commit to working with me for more than 12 weeks - but I was wrong. And it was in those relationships and longer timeframes of 6 months that women really healed, came alive, and thrived beyond our work together.

The cadence of having sessions every other week provides time and spaciousness for both of us to integrate, as well as gather new "data" to feel through together the next time. I feel my best work is done in deep intimate partnership with my clients who are committed to their healing and growth.

That being said, I have a shorter commitment for those who want to work with me 1:1 in a similar capacity. REFINE is 4 sessions, 8 weeks. Please email me hello@wearebeingbetter.com and let me know you're ready to go.

My intention would be to guide you through this time period, and then set you free to swim the open waters of your life. You'd always be welcomed back for more time together if need be as we both continue to evolve.

The application process helps you feel into resonance, pacing, and readiness. Go ahead and apply if there is an intuition to go down this path. Trust your curiosity/knowing.
