 may all be healthy, happy, at ease in their body, at home in the world

Meditation classes can be helpful and practice groups can be supportive, but ultimately your spiritual work is your own.

There are many different methods of meditation, and they lead to different results. Working one-on-one with a teacher can provide practical training, perspective, challenge and encouragement.

Working together we could focus on one or more areas such as:
~ clarifying your goals and choosing a path of practice
~ acquiring specific meditation tools and skills
~ deepening your motivation to make changes in your life
~ working with reactivity in your daily life

I offer private instruction and consultation on an occasional or regular basis, depending on your needs. By working together, we would agree that:

~ You undertake meditation practice on your own initiative. The effectiveness of these practices depends on many factors including your diligence, a supporting lifestyle, and your willingness to make the changes you want in your life. You are responsible for the practices you undertake, and you receive the results of those practices.

~ The meditation practices I teach often include gentle movement exercises to cultivate awareness and balance energy in the body. Effects may vary and you are responsible for bringing any concerns to my attention.

~ I provide instruction and coaching in meditation practices that I have found useful. I’m not a doctor, therapist, or counselor. I do not provide medical treatment or mental health services.

~ I hold all conversations confidential except where, in my judgement, intervention may prevent imminent serious consequences.

~ My services are not offered through any public or private agency, institution, or organization, so I receive no compensation for my time other than donations freely offered. In our first meeting we can explore whether we would like to work together. For subsequent meetings, I appreciate donations. Many people donate in the range of $50 to $100 an hour. I will not withhold instruction if you are unable to donate a certain level of money, and you will make your best effort to compensate me for my time.

~ This is a voluntary relationship for the benefit of your practice. If at any time during our interaction you have questions or concerns about any part of our agreement, or any aspect of our interaction, you will seek to clarify and resolve those questions and concerns with me.
