FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything seems to be "somatic" these days.

It makes sense, because we can do anything "somatically", but the overuse of the word means there's more room for misunderstanding.

And the truth is, "somatic therapy" could be done in thousands of different ways, based on each therapist's style and experience.

Then, each individual therapist has a myriad of different tools to choose from, based on the client in front of them and what they need that day.

Basically, your somatic therapy session won't look like anyone else's.

If you'd like a better idea of how Somatic Integration Therapy would work specifically for you, book a free call with us and we'll figure it out together.

Our work is rooted in Somatic Experiencing™, attachment repair, relational dynamics, and spiritual development. While we value insight and conversation, we focus heavily on the nervous system and the body. Because real change happens through lived experience, not just understanding.

We work at the intersection of:

• trauma resolution

• relational repair

• embodied spirituality

Many of our clients have already done significant personal work and are looking for a deeper, more integrative process.

You could benefit from this work if you're:

• already engaged in personal growth

• seeking deeper integration beyond talk therapy

• open to experiential and embodied work

• interested in relational healing or conscious partnership

• navigating trauma, attachment wounds, or life transitions

• NOT looking to "fix" yourself
• NOT hoping be "healed" by us
• ready to commit to making significant shifts in your daily life

If you’re unsure whether it's a good fit, book a free consultation call to see if you feel aligned and ready.

Not at all.

Some clients come for trauma healing or relationship support. Others are exploring personal growth, intimacy, or spiritual development. We meet you where you are, whether your language is psychological, relational, or spiritual.

Our work is experiential and grounded in nervous system regulation and embodied awareness.

Read more about our integration of the spiritual and the somatic on the About Us page.

We have over 25 years experience, and have received over 4000 hours of training in Somatic Experiencing™, The Gottman Method™, Critical Alignment Yoga Therapy™, and more.

We've spent 15,000+ hours teaching Somatics, Attachment and Relationship work, and Tantrik Yoga to individuals, couples, groups and training new teachers.

All that said, the most valuable experience we've had comes through living the work in our daily life: through parenting, relationship, and community.

Visit the About Us page for specific details.

After careful consideration, we've decided to forgo any ties to the regulated mental health professions. We are a part of a growing community of practitioners intentionally choosing not to hold licenses or registrations in any type of therapy.

While we understand that this choice limits most people from using their benefits, it also prevents us from having to hold ourselves accountable to certain arbitrary industry rules we do not believe in.

In our experience, the benefits of regulation do not outweigh the limits or enhance the quality of work being offered by certified individuals. We personally wouldn't trust someone based on credentials, nor would we write off anyone solely based on the lack of letters behind their name. 

Further to that, our own work goes far beyond the scope of "mental health" as recognized by any governing body. You can't regulate intuition, and you can't measure Awakening ;)

A bonus for you: this choice helps us keep our session costs affordable for everyone, especially those who do not have insurance.

We have a lot of flexibility to offer payment plans, discounts, and sliding scale prices. (See the next question for more info.)

Probably not, through a basic plan.

We choose not to hold any certifications that are covered under basic insurance. (Learn why in the previous question.)

BUT, some people have had success getting Somatic Integration Therapy covered by their benefits if they include a looser definition of "wellness" or a flexible spending amount. So it's worth a try!

We also offer payment plans, discounts for testimonials, and a sliding scale for clients with a lower income. (You'll find more details about this in the next question.) 

This work is designed for those ready to invest in meaningful change.

That said, we understand that everyone's financial situation is unique, and we wouldn't want money to be a barrier for the people who need help.

There are multiple ways to lighten the financial load:

1. The people on our email list always get first dibs on special offers, and they're the first to be notified of limited discounted spots. Join the list here.

2. Everyone in our Member Portal gets 20% off packages, for both couples work and individual sessions. There's no limit, and you can use it as soon as you sign up. Become a member here.

3. We offer a $100 coupon to anyone who writes us an honest Google review (no matter the rating). Personal opinions are invaluable to online businesses, so we reward them all. Leave a review here.

4. Finally, we have flexible payment plans and sliding scale pricing as needed. Start that conversation here.

No. We work with couples across a wide spectrum:

• relationships in distress

• partners navigating ongoing conflict

• couples wanting deeper intimacy and communication

• partners desiring Conscious Partnership

You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit.

Start with an online Relationship Insight Session, or dive right into The Relationship Reconnection Experience.

We offer preparation and integration, as well as facilitated transformational experiences where appropriate and within legal and ethical frameworks.

Our focus is on:

• nervous system safety

• relational and attachment awareness

• embodiment during and after the experience

• meaningful integration into daily life

Preparation and integration are often just as important as the experience itself.

Apply here to start the conversation and find out if this work is right for you.

No. Most clients work with us without any psychedelic component.

The core of our work is embodied transformation and relational healing, regardless of modality.

Yes. We offer both in-person sessions  in Calgary, and virtual sessions via Zoom.

Online work can be deeply effective when approached with clear structure and somatic awareness.

If you're drawn to this work and ready to try it out, you can start with a single Somatic Integration Therapy session to get a feel for the work.

If you're the type who needs to talk it out and ask all the questions first, book a free call with us and we'll help you decide.

And if you prefer to lurk and observe before starting the conversation, follow us on Instagram or Facebook, or get our free RESET Somatic Tool for Effortless Presence.
