Group Therapy

Individual therapy has its place. There are depths to your healing that are best supported by exploration in an intimate 1:1 container. We believe this wholeheartedly, which is why we offer a range of services catered to depth-oriented work.

And - we also believe in the importance of community. Growing alongside others, being witnessed, and seeing your experience represented in others is what our group offerings are all about.

Softening Into You: Making 2026 a Year of Intention & Authenticity

Gathering in Mindful Presence & Self-Inquiry

Our Slow Sundays group is a weekly women’s group to support you in living with more authenticity. This group is a soft place to step into 2026 with presence, intention, and like-minded community. 

This group might be for you if you…

  • yearn for more meaningful connections with other women

  • struggle to make decisions and connect with your intuition

  • are feeling burnt out and want to be more intentional with your time

  • are feeling lost and unsure what steps to take next

  • feel called to live a more embodied, present life

It’s an opportunity to slow down and be in self-inquiry, to listen to your body, to witness and be witnessed by sisters, to gain clarity on what you want, and to be in reverence to mother earth and all that we hold as women in this modern world.

Curious if this might be for you?

I invite you to take a few moments to yourself. Plant your feet on the ground and notice the contact points where your body meets the earth – or the chair, bed, couch, or floor beneath you. 

Take a long, slow inhale through the nose, followed by a longer, slower exhale out the mouth.

Now close your eyes and visualize a person, activity, or place that you love without question. Give this image some color - what does it look like, smell like, sound like, feel like? Take a few more deep breaths, holding this in your awareness. How does this feel in your body?

Finally, from this place of love, consider why you would sign up for a group like this. What is your why? And as that comes to the surface, consider if your why aligns with the energy you hope to engage with and embody in the new year.
