I don’t offer complimentary discovery calls, and I’d love to share why.

This work is nuanced and complex. In my experience, 15–30 minutes isn’t enough time for your nervous system to settle, for me to meaningfully understand your experience, or for either of us to assess fit with the care it deserves. Those short sessions can end up feeling rushed, and don’t allow for the kind of presence I value at every stage of this work.

Rather than offer a brief call that risks feeling transactional or performative, I invite you to begin with a Wayfinding Session, a one-time, 50-minute paid session. This is not a sales pitch. It’s a chance to arrive fully, explore some of your questions with care, and explore whether working together feels right and if so, at what pace. 

While I won’t be able to answer every question you might have or dive into every aspect of your story in just one session, what I can do is offer perspective, insight, and clarity about possible next steps. If it’s a fit, we can continue. And if not, I’ll point you toward thoughtful referrals or resources that may better serve you.

Click here to review a list of symptoms and diagnoses commonly associated with neuroplastic/nociplastic pain and symptoms (also known as TMS/mindbody) arising from sensitized neural pathways and conditioned responses, rather than ongoing injury, illness, or structural damage. If you are experiencing one or more of the symptoms or have been diagnosed with a condition included in this list, recovery is possible, and exploring a mindbody approach can open new pathways toward healing.

Beyond the list, my personal experience and over 25 years of practicing medicine and psychotherapy have shown me over and over again that people across a wide range of experiences can grow in ease, wellbeing, and liveliness through a mindbody approach. Even in the presence of illnesses in which a genetic or biological aspect is more prominent (i.e. “structural” conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune conditions, and cancer), we can harness the power of bioplasticity to enhance health and resilience and live more fully. 

If you’re curious to explore working together and want to ask about your particular condition, you can either get in touch here or book a standalone Wayfinding Session. 

Once you book your first session, you will receive a questionnaire from me. The questionnaire is thorough, and invites you to share as much or as little as you want. My clients usually share that they develop important insights through the process of answering the questions. And your responses help me develop a deeper and more nuanced understanding of who you are, what matters to you, what connects you with purpose and joy, what you want and need, the context of your lived experience, the resources you have access to, your symptom patterns, and other aspects that can open possibilities for healing and recovery.

The assessment includes three 50 minute sessions, and each session is shaped by your needs.

The first two sessions give us the time and space to explore your story, symptoms, needs, resources, and context in depth. We can identify patterns, clarify whether a neuroplastic component may be contributing to your symptoms, and, when helpful, use gentle provocative exercises as developed by Dr. Howard Schubiner, with whom I am trained and certified, to bring additional insight. These sessions allow us to parse the complexity of your experience with nuance and precision, while fostering safety, trust, and clarity.

The third session focuses on integration. This is an opportunity to review what you’ve learned, answer any remaining questions, and clarify next steps for your healing and recovery.

In each session, we might start with a body-based practice to help your nervous system access safety and trust as we go, or go straight into conversation: your choice.

We may explore education around pain science or nervous system regulation, bring awareness to stuck patterns, offer space to explore the connection between your symptoms and emotions that have been hard to access or express, identify parts of you that are yearning to be seen, heard, and tended to, and address anxiety or doubts about diagnoses you’ve received, treatments you’re engaging in, and your mindbody healing journey.

Sometimes sessions are more spacious and reflective. Others are more structured or directed. Always, we’ll work collaboratively, and move at the pace your bodymind can integrate, honoring what you want and need from our work together.

The in-depth mind-body assessment takes place across three sessions, and the pacing is flexible. Most people schedule the second session about one week after the first. The third session is often scheduled a couple of weeks later, allowing time for integration, reflection, and for new questions or insights to emerge after our initial exploration.

You are always invited to choose the frequency and pace that feel most supportive for you, within the limits of my availability and scheduling calendar.

Our work together will be focused within our scheduled sessions. This boundary supports the depth and sustainability of the care I provide, and also honors your capacity to integrate the work between sessions.

If you’re new to my work, I offer the choice between the in-depth assessment or a one-time Wayfinding Session as a first step to:

• get started with one of my mentoring pathways in support of your healing and recovery

• have the time and space to get to know me, ask questions, and build a foundation of trust and comfort with me before sharing your story in depth.

After the Wayfinding Session, you can choose to continue with the remaining two sessions that complete the full in-depth assessment, or opt for one of my mentorship programs.

The investment for the Wayfinding Session is £350.

If you choose to continue with the in-depth assessment, the remaining balance for the two additional sessions is £600.

Alternatively, you may credit the Wayfinding Session fee toward my 6-month mentoring program within the next 14 days. This credit does not apply to the 3-month flexible mentoring format.

As part of my commitment to equity and sustainability, I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots, prioritized for those living in countries with lower average incomes and limited access to welfare or social security systems. 

For this specific offering (in-depth mind-body assessment), I offer up to 2 sliding scale spots each month. If the full cost of the assessment is prohibitive for you, you can apply for a sliding scale spot here.

I also offer a growing library of free resources and practices, as well as periodic free or low-cost workshops. If you'd like to stay connected and be the first to hear when new offerings become available, you're warmly invited to join my mailing list. I’d love to share these resources with you.

My rates are structured with care and intention to reflect the time, expertise, presence, and labor — emotional, intellectual, and somatic — that this work requires, while also sustaining my practice and meeting my financial needs and responsibilities, including caregiving for my elders in Mexico. This allows me to continue working in a sustainable way. 

Fair compensation for care work, particularly for women and practitioners from historically excluded communities, is part of the more just world I’m working toward.

If you believe you're dealing with a new, acute, or urgent medical issue, it's important to consult a licensed healthcare provider in your country.

While I do not diagnose or provide medical treatment in the context of mentorship, I bring decades of medical and psychotherapeutic experience into our work. I can offer education, context, and perspective to help you better understand your symptoms and have more informed conversations with your care team.

Often, people with neuroplastic symptoms experience significant anxiety around health, even after different specialists have ruled out significant concerns, and with multiple lab/imaging results that are within the normal or expected range. They can find themselves caught in a loop or story that there is something terribly wrong that just hasn’t been found yet. If this sounds like you, the symptoms and anxiety you’re experiencing can be different manifestations of the fear-pain/symptom cycle that may be addressed, and can change meaningfully, through a mindbody approach and neural repatterning practices. We can explore this together.

Yes. Many of my clients experience mental health challenges, or have received psychiatric diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress, and find this work deeply supportive.

In fact, many symptoms in the realm of mental health can be understood in different ways from a mindbody and person-centered perspective. We can conceive them as understandable manifestations of distress and protective mechanisms, making sense of them in a way that honors your unique story, context, and culture. I don’t believe our challenges are signs of something broken or disordered, but rather meaningful responses to the complexities of our life and environment.

Together, we’ll explore what’s arising with curiosity and compassion, creating space for insight, healing, and change that’s rooted in connection, not labels.

It’s important to note that while I bring decades of experience as a physician and psychotherapist to our work, the nature of this assessment depends on where you are located. For clients physically located in Mexico, this work may form part of clinical care within my professional licensure. For clients outside Mexico, this assessment is educational and consultative in nature, and I do not diagnose or provide treatment for medical or mental health conditions. I offer deep presence, education, nervous system and trauma-integrative support, and collaborative meaning-making.

If you’re in active crisis or require clinical mental health care, it’s important that you work alongside a licensed therapist, psychiatrist, or appropriate medical provider as part of your support system.

There are also situations that fall outside the scope of my practice. I do not work with individuals experiencing active suicidal ideation, substance use disorders, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, or other severe mental illnesses.

If at any point it becomes clear that you would benefit from a different level, type, or structure of support than what I offer within my scope of practice, I will encourage you to seek additional or alternative care and may discontinue our work together if this format is no longer appropriate.

I am not in-network with any insurance providers. Eligibility for reimbursement varies depending on the type of service, your insurer, and your individual policy. You may contact your insurer directly if you wish to confirm your specific coverage.

I provide a standard payment receipt reflecting the nature of the service as described in the Scope of Services section of my Terms & Conditions. I do not provide superbills, insurance claim forms, diagnostic or procedural codes, or additional documentation for insurance purposes beyond this standard receipt.

While I only offer clinical care as a physician and psychotherapist to individuals in Mexico, I bring those lenses — and that extensive training and experience — into every session of pain recovery mentorship.

This means I can help you: 

• Make sense of complex medical language; 

• Translate confusing or scary diagnoses or findings; 

• Integrate context and nuance in a way that reduces fear and overwhelm; 

• Offer educational guidance that’s both accurate and compassionate.

Rather than spiral or get lost down rabbit holes of internet searches or worst-case scenarios, you gain access to insight, grounded education, and practical guidance rooted in expertise and evidence-based practice.

After 25 years of practicing medicine and psychotherapy, I am deeply comfortable with the full range of human experience, from health to debilitating illness, from uncertain prognosis to end of life, and from deep challenge to thriving through connection, creativity, and purpose.

I’ve sat with people of all ages in moments of all-consuming fear and grief, physical vulnerability, emotional complexity, trauma responses, and profound transition, as well as moments of expansive joy, deep love, and the vibrant aliveness that can emerge even in the midst of loss and difficulty.

This has deepened my ability to stay present, attuned, and steady even in experiences that may feel especially intense, unsettling, triggering, or overwhelming. 

You don’t have to go through those moments alone. I will meet what unfolds with radical presence, curiosity, clarity, and compassion.
