Meet every part of yourself, and find room for joy again.
Gentle, deep work with mind and body, at a pace you set. In person in the Bay Area.
Come as you are. We'll go at your pace.
You might be here because
You feel stuck in the same patterns, even though you understand them.
Old stress lives in your body, and talking alone hasn't moved it.
You're going through a hard season and want to meet it with more steadiness.
You know there's more to life than "this," and you're ready to look inward.
Getting to know your parts
Internal Family Systems (IFS) sees each of us as made of parts. Some protect us, some carry old pain. When they are met with curiosity instead of a fight, they can let go, and you reconnect with your Self: the calm, clear, compassionate center that was there all along.
I'm certified by the IFS Institute (Level 2) and trained in IFIO, the IFS approach for couples and partners. The work is guided by compassion, curiosity and courage, and you always set the pace.
When the body holds the story
Some of what we carry lives in the body. Somatic touch therapy uses gentle touch to find held patterns and release stuck emotion.
I combine it with IFS, so insight and physical release support each other.
What clients say
Ray creates a comfortable environment to explore an inner landscape I had buried by suppressing emotions for years. She guided me at the right pace, without judgment and without rushing.
She has helped me notice when parts take over, and compassionately shows me a mirror so I can see myself. With her help I stay true to my core.
I came during a very difficult time, afraid and anxious. The sessions gave me clarity about the different parts that talk to me, and that they are not me. I found more peace in my inner being.
Ray helped me heal on a deep level and brought in self-compassion, which improved my choices and outlook in every part of life. She meets you with kindness and respect wherever you are.
