At this time, I can’t offer a sliding scale, as this program is already priced at the lowest possible to cover the costs of hosting these sessions. 

However, I do offer weekly payment plans and have free spots in 2 cohorts for LGBTQ, neurodivergent, and BIPOC community members.

This is a closed group running on a 4-week rotation, meaning only confirmed participants join at the start and stay for the full cycle. There are no mid-series entries to protect the safety of the group.

Why Closed?

Group safety and solidarity matter deeply in somatic work with ISTP™, Compassionate Inquiry™, breathwork, restorative yoga, and acupressure. Building trust takes time, especially for queer, neurodivergent, BIPOC bodies holding trauma from systemic oppression. A stable circle allows nervous systems to co-regulate without newcomers disrupting rapport.

Commitment and Flexibility

Commit to all 4 weeks upfront for collective healing, but exit at rotation's end with no penalty, making space for fresh members. Continuing participants get priority re-registration (plus 2nd cohort fee), honoring your pace, life shifts, or fit.

Next Rotation

Spots open confidentially via inquiry; March cohorts offer 2 free online/1 in-person via Somatic Solidarity. This rotation model sustains accessibility and community care across cycles.

Group somatic therapy effectively supports trauma healing, nervous system regulation, and resilience, especially for queer, neurodivergent, BIPOC bodies navigating systemic oppression.

Research shows somatic group approaches reduce PTSD, anxiety, depression, and somatic symptoms comparably to individual therapy, fostering co-regulation and community wisdom in safe containers.

What to Expect

Share as much or as little as feels safe, as voluntary openness deepens collective healing, revealing personal patterns, relational insights, and somatic releases without pressure.

Benefits include greater body awareness, trauma discharge, emotional regulation, and tools for daily resilience amid marginalization, though change unfolds gradually through consistent participation.

Discomfort may arise in the forms of stored grief, activation, or vulnerability, but both the group and I hold space for integration, turning it into empowerment. If distress surfaces, voice it; because we’re all here for containment and care.

Your nervousness is valid and welcome here! Many participants arrive feeling this way, carrying the weight of past exclusion or systemic distrust. You're in compassionate company; this somatic group is designed as a trauma-informed container where fitting in isn't about sameness, but shared humanity and body wisdom.

Presence of all members in every group session is vital to the success of everyone involved.  For that reason, I ask that you attend all sessions, and make this commitment a top priority for the duration of the group.

I understand that emergencies may happen that will prevent group attendance. If you need to cancel or miss a session, you must call, text, or email me as soon as possible.

There are no refunds for missed sessions.

Yes, I will be offering physical touch and gentle bodywork, always with your express consent each time. Your "yes" creates safety.

Consensual touch in trauma work activates the ventral vagal pathway, signaling safety to your nervous system and countering freeze or shutdown. It fosters co-regulation, where my grounded presence helps discharge stored tension, rebuild trust in connection, and release somatic armoring held in all bodies.

Physical attunement deepens interoception, allowing grief, rage, or joy to move somatically, often faster than words alone, while reinforcing your body's innate resilience and capacity for intimacy on your terms.

Even though I’m a registered naturotherapist, group therapy is not covered by insurance in Quebec.

While individual naturotherapy sessions (somatic work, acupressure, etc…) qualify for reimbursement under certain private plans, group therapy doesn't meet insurer criteria for billable services.
