That’s like asking what is Diet. It means many things to many people. To me, breathwork means how you engage with your breath. How you use (or don’t use) your breath in life. You see, breath is medicine. And knowing what prescription to use in any given circumstance means living life to its fullest and meeting each moment with what’s needed. Sometimes that looks like intense emotional release, and sometimes it’s becoming so quiet you can hear your soul. 

No matter what type of breath you’re engaging with, the goal is always alignment.

Yes, you will. And I will record it for all eternity. 

Just kidding. One of people’s greatest fears and also misconceptions around hypnosis is the lack of control in trance state. This couldn't be further from the truth. In my session, you have full control and autonomy. That means you have control over what you do, say, and share.. Being in a hypnotic trance essentially just means you're opening yourself up to more- more awareness, more information, more possibility.

No. It doesn’t. 

I’ve consciously dedicated hours of my life, lots of my money, and thrown myself into work that doesn’t work. 

Right. I think what you mean to ask is... How does it work?

Well, that's a more complicated/nuanced answer. Mainly, it works by slowly re-aligning your beliefs, emotions, perceptions and behaviors so that you begin to show up in your life as the fullest most vibrant version of yourself. It allows you to become the version of you that fills you with joy.

Here’s a question for you- what does “results” look like/mean?

The thing I wish most people understood about doing work like this, is that it’s not linear. That means you may not see “the result” you wanted, but you will see movement. What that movement will be- only you will know. I can’t predict that. 

One of the main reasons I now offer only packages is because I don’t believe in the quick fix, one-and-done mentality out there. It does take time to embody the skills we’ll be working on.

Skills like- awareness, emotional regulation, release, rewriting the script, shadow work. 

If I’m being perfectly honest- it can take a lifetime to truly master these skills. But, I hope to be an anchor/support to help you  begin acquiring them.

Anxiety, depression, fears/phobias, difficult relationships, my struggling marriage…. 

The truth is there is an endless list of possibilities when it comes to work like this. The reason I use my chosen modalities is because they go to the source. The core competencies needed to navigate life with more autonomy and more balance. So, chances are, whatever your particular struggle is, there’s some core skill we can work on together.

Your sessions with me will be 90 minutes. How we spend those minutes will depend on your personal goals. 

If we are doing breathwork, you’ll be lying on a mat, with an eye mask using the prescribed breath. There will be music playing, and I'll be there guiding you throughout. No worries- I'll be sending you a prep video on everything you need to know about the session in advance. 

If we’re doing hypnosis, you'll be sitting across from me in a comfy chair, probably with your eyes closed having an interesting, explorative conversation with me, only, you’ll be in a trance state. 

If we’re doing some other practice or exercise you can be anywhere from sitting in a chair and chatting with me, to dancing in my office, to creating art or moving around- I like to keep you on your toes a bit ( I do have a deep and rich history as a ballerina). Whatever the order of the day is- you’ll be well taken care of, I promise.

I’m so glad you asked, because this is a very important question. Your safety is always our main priority. That's why, part of my intake process asks you to disclose any important medical information. 

Since the work we do can bring up difficult emotions or past experiences, there are some circumstances which will disqualify us from working together. 

Not because the work can’t help, but because I want you safe throughout. That is why, in some cases- like a mental health diagnosis (psychosis, bi-polar disorder, BPD), or certain drug prescriptions- I’ll have to decline working together. However, in some cases I can work alongside your doctor and/or therapist to assure you are supported in the ways you need. That is something I discern on a case-by-case basis. 

It’s also why I expect my clients to take full responsibility for their health and wellbeing.

I’m so proud of you for taking a step and doing something for yourself. Yay you! What you should know are three things:

1- No expectations: the work will work, we just don't yet know how it will work

2- Be curious: one of the biggest pitfalls I see is getting stuck on a problem/solution. Stay open to exploring whatever might come up.

3- Trust: one of the greatest gifts I hope to leave you with is a deep trust in yourself and your ability to be your own solution.

If we’ve never worked together before, there’s an application process:

• First, you’ll complete the medical disclaimer.

• Then you’ll set up your Arcway session by submitting payment, filling out the intake form, and scheduling your session.

• After your Arcway session, you’ll have the option to choose from two Arc packages.

• Once enrolled, you can schedule your sessions.

If we’ve already worked together and you’re ready to begin a new Arc:

• Schedule an Arcway session.

• Choose your preferred package.

• Schedule your sessions.

If we’ve discussed the possibility of Arc 3:

• You’ll be personally guided through the steps to get started.

Good question. it's because a colleague of mine once shared an idea that stayed with me. the word nasan is a palandrome. it can be read forward and backward. because the channel of giving goes both ways; and I see that to be true in my work. I gain from my clients just as they gain from me. it's a two way street wher nobody is better or above. We are just partners in walking this life together and lifting each other up.
