At the Awakened Method Studio, parenting is viewed through the lens of Spiritual Human Development. Rather than focusing solely on behavior, milestones, or techniques, we explore the deeper patterns shaping family life, our nervous systems, early experiences, attachment, movement, unconscious storylines, and the environments in which children grow.
Village Parent Mentorship
Parenting isn't measured by the hours we spend together each month. It is nurtured through an ongoing relationship of guidance, conversation, community, and support.
Your Village Parent Mentorship is designed to provide a trusted village you can return to throughout the month, offering both personalized mentorship and the wisdom of a connected community.
Children do not enter the world as blank slates waiting to be written upon. They arrive with their own temperament, unique gifts, innate wisdom, and a developmental story that begins long before birth. From conception onward, each child is continually shaped by relationship, with their parents, family, community, and the world around them.
​
Parenting, then, is not about molding a child into whom we believe they should become. It is about learning to see who they already are while creating the conditions that allow their authentic nature to unfold.
​
As our children grow through each season of development, they continually invite us into our own growth. We are asked to become more aware, more present, and more curious not only about our children, but about ourselves. The journey of parenting becomes a journey of remembering, healing, and becoming.
​
For generations, families were never expected to walk this path alone. Children were held by many caring adults, parents learned from one another, elders shared their wisdom, and everyday life was woven together through community. The village was not simply a place; it was the environment in which both children and parents thrived.
​
The Village Parent Mentorship is an invitation to return to that way of living. Rather than offering quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions, this mentorship is built on relationship. Together, we explore your family's unique story through the three pillars of the Awakened Method: The Inner World, The Environment, and The Inquiry of Knowledge, creating a foundation where both parent and child can continue growing, learning, and becoming.

Primary Reflex Education & Movement Development
Looking Beyond the Behavior…Understanding the Whole Child
​
Every movement tells a story.
When a child struggles with emotional regulation, coordination, learning, attention, sensory processing, or confidence, we don't begin by asking, "What's wrong?"
​
We begin by asking,
"What is this child's body communicating?"
​
Like a tree, healthy development begins beneath the surface. The roots support the trunk. The trunk supports the branches. The branches give rise to the leaves.
When the roots are nourished, the entire tree has the opportunity to flourish.
​
Through the Awakened Method, we look beyond isolated behaviors to understand the developmental foundations supporting your child's growth. Together, we explore how movement, primary reflexes, sensory processing, nervous system regulation, relationships, and the environment work together as one living system.
​
Rather than focusing on fixing symptoms, we become curious about what may still be asking to complete its developmental journey.
Somatic Movement Consultation & Developmental Observation
​
Every child has a unique developmental story waiting to be understood.
​
This comprehensive consultation is the first step in exploring your child's movement patterns, nervous system regulation, primary reflexes, sensory processing, developmental milestones, and the environments that have shaped their growth. Rather than focusing on symptoms or behaviors alone, we observe the whole child through the lens of the Awakened Method.
​
Together, we begin uncovering the foundations that support learning, emotional regulation, movement, connection, and healthy development
​
During Your Consultation, We May Explore:
-
Birth and developmental history
-
Primary Reflex screening
-
Somatic movement observation
-
Gross and fine motor development
-
Balance, coordination, and posture
-
Sensory processing
-
Nervous system regulation
-
Learning and developmental readiness
-
Family observations and concerns
-
Environmental influences on development
-
Following your consultation, I will thoughtfully integrate my observations into your child's personalized Tree of Development Reflection.

Developmental Reflection & Parent Guidance Session
​
The Developmental Reflection is much more than reviewing an assessment. It is an opportunity to understand your child's unique developmental story through the living metaphor of a tree.
Together, we explore how your child's roots, trunk, branches, and leaves are interconnected, allowing you to see beyond behaviors and into the deeper developmental patterns that may be influencing learning, emotional regulation, movement, and relationships.
This collaborative session helps parents move from uncertainty to understanding, offering practical insight and a clear path forward.
​
Your Reflection Includes:
The Roots
Exploring the developmental foundations that support your child's growth, including birth experiences, primary reflexes, nervous system regulation, sensory processing, and early developmental patterns.
The Trunk
Understanding the body's stability through movement, posture, coordination, bilateral integration, emotional regulation, and organization.
The Branches
Looking at how your child's internal foundations support learning, communication, attention, social engagement, executive functioning, and daily life.
The Leaves
Exploring how developmental patterns may be expressed through behavior, emotional regulation, sensory experiences, learning challenges, confidence, or social relationships.
​
You Will Leave With:
-
A personalized Tree of Development Reflection
-
A comprehensive understanding of your child's developmental story
-
An individualized movement and home support plan
-
Recommendations for continued growth and integration
-
Practical tools to confidently support your child's development at home
When we understand the roots, we can nurture the whole tree. The goal is not to fix the child, but to create the conditions where healthy development can continue to unfold naturally.

Individual Services
Sometimes a family doesn't need a long-term mentorship; they need support for a specific season, question, or challenge. These individual sessions are designed to meet you where you are, offering practical guidance, somatic support, and individualized care through the lens of the Awakened Method.
Somatic Movement Session
Each Primary Reflex Movement Session is individually designed using playful, developmentally appropriate movement experiences that support the body's natural process of integration.
Through guided movement, sensory activities, nervous system regulation, and parent participation, we create opportunities for the brain and body to strengthen the developmental foundations that support lifelong learning and well-being.

Family Dynamics Session
When challenging behaviors arise, we look beyond the behavior itself and explore the relationships surrounding it.
Together, we examine family dynamics, communication patterns, nervous system interactions, developmental needs, and environmental influences to better understand what your child may be expressing.
This session offers practical tools that strengthen connection, foster understanding, and support healthier family relationships.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
This is a hands-on approach that supports the body's innate capacity for healing, regulation, and restoration. Through light, non-invasive touch, we listen to the body's natural rhythms and create a space where the nervous system can settle, reorganize, and integrate.
​
As the body experiences greater safety and balance, patterns of tension may soften, allowing for improved movement, emotional regulation, resilience, and overall well-being.

Rebirthing Session
Within the Awakened Method, we view childhood as unfolding through a series of developmental cycles. Approximately every seven years, children enter a new season of growth that invites greater integration of earlier experiences. During these transitions, behaviors, emotional responses, fears, sensitivities, or relational challenges may emerge—not simply as new difficulties, but as invitations to complete aspects of development that are ready to be integrated.
​
Many of these experiences arise from the body's implicit memory—the nonverbal memories formed during conception, pregnancy, birth, infancy, and the earliest years of life. While these memories are often beyond conscious awareness, they continue to influence how children experience safety, relationship, learning, emotional regulation, and the world around them.
​
Rather than viewing developmental challenges as problems to be fixed, the Rebirthing Session sees them as meaningful expressions of the body's innate movement toward healing and wholeness. Each new developmental stage becomes another opportunity for the child to reorganize, integrate, and continue growing into their fullest potential.
​​
2.5-Hour Session: $325
Functional Nutrition
Nutrition is one of the foundational ways we support the body's natural capacity for healing, growth, and resilience. During this session, we explore nutrition, lifestyle, homeopathic support, and whole-body wellness through the lens of your unique health story.
Recommendations are individualized and may support nervous system regulation, immune function, digestion, pregnancy, postpartum, childhood development, hormone balance, and overall vitality.
​
When appropriate, functional laboratory testing may be recommended to provide a deeper understanding of nutritional status and underlying physiological patterns.
Laboratory testing, nutritional profile analysis, and individualized supplement recommendations are available as additional services and are not included in the consultation fee.
​
1hr Session $125
Full Lab work and Findings $873
Homeopathy
My practice is rooted in the foundations of Classical Homeopathy, where a carefully selected single remedy is chosen to match the individual as a whole rather than treating isolated symptoms. At the same time, my approach is deeply intuitive and relational. I consider not only your physical symptoms, but also your emotional landscape, life experiences, developmental history, nervous system patterns, and the deeper story your body is expressing.
​
Homeopathy is never about simply finding the "right remedy." It is about listening deeply to the whole person and supporting the body's own capacity to restore balance in a way that is gentle, individualized, and respectful of each person's unique healing process.

The goal isn't simply preparing teens for adulthood. It's supporting them in becoming grounded, compassionate, and self-aware human beings who know themselves, trust themselves, and understand the value of living in relationship with others.
Teen Within Mentorship
Adolescence is a profound time of becoming. As teens begin asking deeper questions about identity, purpose, relationships, and belonging, they benefit from having trusted adults and a supportive community that can walk beside them without judgment or pressure.
​
The Teen Within Mentorship creates a space where teenagers are seen, heard, and encouraged to develop a deeper relationship with themselves, their families, and the world around them.
Grounded in the principles of the Awakened Method, this mentorship integrates somatic awareness, emotional development, nervous system regulation, healthy relationships, and the art of becoming fully human.
Rather than focusing on correcting behavior, we support teens in developing self-awareness, resilience, emotional intelligence, and the confidence to navigate life's challenges with greater clarity and connection.
Monthly Mentorship Includes:
​
One Teen Within Community Gathering (1 Hour)
A monthly gathering where teens connect with peers in meaningful conversation while exploring topics such as identity, relationships, emotional well-being, purpose, creativity, nervous system awareness, leadership, and the challenges of growing up in today's world.
​
One Individual Mentorship Session (1 Hour)
A personalized one-on-one session providing space for deeper reflection, somatic exploration, emotional support, and guidance tailored to the teen's unique developmental journey.

Growing the village, one family at a time.
Nestled in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Village Days at the Ashram invites families to experience a way of living that has supported humanity for generations. From new parents and young children to teens stepping into apprenticeships, families gather to learn through relationship, meaningful work, nature, shared meals, creativity, and community.
​
Parenting was never meant to happen in isolation. Children learn how to live in community by experiencing community. They learn generosity by witnessing generosity, responsibility by contributing, and belonging by being known, supported, and valued by people of all ages. If children never experience village life, they have little opportunity to carry its wisdom forward into their own families and communities.
​
Village Days offers families the opportunity to practice a different way of living together—one where parents are supported, children are surrounded by caring adults, and teens begin discovering their gifts through mentorship, responsibility, and apprenticeship within the village. Together, we are cultivating the skills, relationships, and rhythms needed to build a new vision for future generations.
Because the village cannot simply be taught—it must be lived.
