Mentoring & Professional Development
My mentoring and professional development offerings support practitioners across somatic, movement, and therapeutic fields at different stages of experience. This work ranges from reflective professional consultation, to focused skill intensives, to formalized training pathways.
Each stream has a distinct purpose, structure, and outcome. Some offerings provide professional development only, while others constitute structured pathways toward practitioner recognition.
Integrative Professional Mentoring
Independent practitioner development
Integrative mentoring supports practitioners in deepening clinical perception, refining professional discernment, and integrating knowledge across modalities. This work draws from my background in NAIO, Somatic Movement Education & Therapy, Craniosacral practice and teaching, Continuum, and decades of full-time clinical work.
This format is reflective and responsive rather than instructional.
Appropriate for
Experienced practitioners
Therapists integrating multiple trainings
Complex case reflection
Professional development and maturation
Format
2–2.5 hr session — $375
Half Day (4.5 hrs) — $650
Minimum booking: 2 hours.
Important
Integrative mentoring provides professional development only. It does not confer certification, formal training status, or affiliation with any method, including NAIO.
Skill & Practice Intensives
Focused professional development
Targeted learning in one defined area.
These structured sessions focus on specific practical skills, perceptual refinement, and session work. They are experiential and guided, with preparation of materials, and reading and a clear learning focus.
Examples of Half-Day Intensives
Advanced Craniosacral Listening Layers
Movement Observation Precision
Working with Systemic Patterning in Clients
Practitioner Nervous System Regulation
Touch Discrimination & Relational Field
Scope of Practice & Clinical Boundaries
Integrating Movement + Table Work
Case Formulation Models
Perception vs Projection in Practice
Burnout Prevention for Craniosacral and Somatic Practitioners
Rates
Structured Half Day (4.5 hours) — $850
Structured Full Day (7 hours) — $1,200
3-Day Intensive (21 hours)— $2,950
Practitioners must organize their own person/s to attend, for session work. This format includes pre-preparation of materials and structured skill transmission. It does not provide certification or method affiliation.
Craniosacral Practice Mentoring
Advanced practitioner development
Craniosacral mentoring supports ongoing practitioner refinement, perceptual development, and case consultation. While I am a teacher of Biodynamic craniosacral therapy, this work integrates my own orientations alongside modern context specific craniosacral and somatic principles.
Focus may include
Listening depth and perceptual layers
Treatment planning
Practitioner presence and regulation
Session structure and clinical reasoning
This is continuing professional development and does not confer certification or organizational recognition.
Rates follow Integrative Mentoring or Skill Intensive structures depending on format.
Professional Training Pathways
These offerings differ from mentoring and intensives. They involve structured curriculum, supervision, developmental progression, and formal practitioner formation that can lead to professional certification.
NAIO Mentored Practitioner Pathway
An individualized pathway equivalent to the NAIO practitioner training program. This includes structured knowledge domains, supervised practice, ethics framework, and competency development.
Outcome: NAIO Practitioner
Somatic Movement Education & Therapy Pathway
A structured mentorship route aligned with the standards of the
International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association. This pathway supports progression toward Registered Somatic Movement Educator/Therapist recognition.
Outcome: Professional registration pathway
These pathways are program-based and priced separately from mentoring, and per individual situation.
