PsychoSomatic Bodywork
Psychosomatic Bodywork is a holistic, integrative approach to healing that combines five synergistic modalities (Be Activated, Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy, Reiki, and breathwork) to address the mind-body connection. This powerful method works to optimize your nervous system, release deep muscular tension, and balance your spiritual and energetic systems—all tailored to your unique needs.
I prefer the term “sensory rich” 😊 Kidding aside, there are aspects of my bodywork style (deep tissue and Myofascial Release) that can be uncomfortable for short periods of time. That being said, I will moderate the amount of pressure to each client’s individual tolerance within the session.
Yes, I am an LMT in Ohio (No. 33.027215). I have also been extensively trained and certified in the Be Activated System for optimizing the nervous system. Additionally, I am a Master Reiki practitioner.
There are many benefits to Swedish Effleurage. That is the typical relaxing massage offered at most spas, massage centers and by many individual therapists. It is not how I work. To be honest, you can easily find a massage therapist who specializes in this modality and will therefore be more skilled, and less expensive.
I do not directly work through any medical insurance companies. There are some insurance companies that include a certain number of massages per year. There are also some employers who include massages as part of their benefits packages. I will be happy to provide any paperwork and/or communications with either type of entity to assist you in getting reimbursed for sessions.
I wouldn’t have it any other way. We both deserve the chance to get to know each other before deciding to spend time together.

Transformative Coaching
- I journey with people towards the discovery of who they really are, empower them with an understanding of the source of their experiences, and point them in the direction of their innate wisdom and well-being.
- I am compassionately and borderline obsessively curious about people and the meanings they create from their experiences.
- I do not believe that anyone is broken, and therefore no one needs to be “fixed”.
- I respect everyone’s map of reality as well as their deepest desires.
- I will always inquire and assist from my heart.
- I believe that laughter is the ultimate elixir and joy is our natural state of being.
Our first official coaching session (after our Discovery Conversation) is my chance to get to know you – where you are and where you might want to go, as well as what might have been stopping you from getting there until now. I’ll ask a lot of questions. And I’ll listen. Then I’ll likely ask some more questions.
Subsequent sessions will be a series of meaningful conversations about the human experience, the source of your current feelings and desires, and how an understanding of that relationship can guide you to the most appropriate course of action towards your goals.
The true measure of success for Transformation Coaching is not only the achievement of stated goals, but an improvement in your overall quality of life experience on the journey there.
It has been my experience that change happens quite rapidly, and therefore I focus on short term/high impact coaching methodologies. Long-term plans are better suited for therapy (see next question). My most popular coaching package is three-months, but it can vary on a case-by-case basis depending on the specific goals of each client.
Coaching and therapies work within different paradigms. In general, therapy focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders. My coaching focuses on discovering and developing internal resources and strategies for success. We’ll focus on where you are now, where you want to be, and how to get there. Renegade Life Coaching is action-oriented.
If you’re in need of counseling, seek out a qualified psychologist. If you’re in need of mood stabilizing medication, seek out a board-certified psychiatrist. If you feel drawn to engage in a transformative conversation about how your mind works and who you truly are, contact me and let’s journey together.
Please Note: I am not a licensed medical professional, and therefore do not diagnose or treat any diseases or conditions.
Under strict circumstances – your therapist would need to be notified and agree to support your decision to enter a coaching relationship. Regular updates would be provided to your therapist and your therapist would approve the topics covered in coaching sessions.
Sadly, I do not know of any medical insurance companies that currently appreciate and cover coaching services.
I wouldn’t have it any other way. We both deserve the chance to get to know each other before deciding to spend time journeying together.
You can contact me HERE and we’ll schedule a Discovery Conversation.
Client confidentiality is always my utmost priority. That being said, I do have clients who are willing to share their experiences. If you would like to speak directly to one or more of my current/former clients, please contact me for details.
