Embodied healing, skillful action.
Hi, I'm Jesse. I'm a somatic coach, bodyworker and facilitator.
I help people deepen in themselves by reconnecting with their bodies. My clients are:
-
finding solid ground in the face of anxiety, complexity and loss
-
building authentic, resilient relationships
-
practicing leadership that invites others into their power too.
I work in-person in the upper Hudson Valley of New York, and virtually.

Somatic Coaching & Bodywork
Somatics is an approach to personal and collective transformation that engages the whole self, by working with sensation, emotion, touch, breath and movement as well as speech and story.
We get to know how our histories live in the tissue and nervous system, below the level of conscious thought or intention. We tap into the body's innate capacities for attunement, resilience and dignity, unwinding old survival strategies and practicing new skills.
I work with clients in hour-long sessions in person and on zoom, and in longer in-person intensives.
Please contact me to set up a free half-hour consultation.

About Me
My work as a coach, bodyworker, and facilitator builds on 15 years as a community organizer, working across lines of race, class and culture at the grassroots level. Somatics as a modality gives my work its present shape, but it’s the wonderful range of people and communities I’ve been in relationship with over the years that is the juice. Those collaborations teach me, sometimes joyfully, often the hard way, how to stay humble and curious inside difference and paradox. They have led me to the crossroads of personal and political, healing and action, analysis and mystery.
I am trained and certified by the Strozzi Institute for Somatics, which has been stewarding a unique approach to somatic healing and organizational development for fifty years. I’ve also been trained, mentored and coached by practitioners coming out of generative somatics, which added a political analysis to the Strozzi modality and brings it into social movements and organizations.
In addition to the Strozzi/gs lineage of somatics, I am influenced by an always growing and fermenting web of influences, especially the Relational Uprising institute, and the Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures Collective, the Light Dark Institute, and Radial Diamond Kinetics.
