Testimonials

"When I came to Charna I wanted to change certain aspects of my life -what she gave me instead was the capacity to continue expanding my whole life in ways that made those initial changes seem like baby steps!"

—dancer, age 35


"The partner exercises we did distilled my core patterns quickly and eloquently, making me a believer that the most effective way to effect real change in your life is through shifts in the body."

—tattoo artist, age 45


"Charna's sessions have allowed me to communicate more effectively with my partner, friends, family, coworkers and myself. I have an increased awareness regarding what my boundaries are both during intimacy and my day-to-day life. My levels of security and body awareness have also increased and I'm no longer afraid to say 'no!'"

Individual Sessions are 50 minutes long. Couples or family sessions are an hour and 30 minutes or two hours long depending on what is requested. While each session may look different, there are three consistent components: talking, standing practices and bodywork.

Some sessions you may remain seated while we develop bodily awareness through conversation and mindfulness. Other times you will be invited to do an experiential exercise, that originates out of Aikido, to familiarize us with how your life experiences have shaped you. It may also be appropriate for me to incorporate Lomi somatic bodywork during a session. The hands on work that I do is nonsexual and you are fully clothed.

With an understanding of your somatic shape and automatic responses in relationship, we can begin to build practices that support your healing and help you pursue the life you want.

Initial Consultation

I would be happy to speak with you by phone or via email about what you are seeking and ways my work may help you. At the end of the first session, we will discuss if this work is appropriate for you at this time.
