Individual & Couples Work
Relational support for those moving through a personal threshold —
alone, or with someone you love.
The Work
This work is relational, somatic, and ceremonial. It is not therapy — though it works alongside it. It is not coaching — though it moves things. It is the kind of holding that allows something in you to reorganize at its own pace, without being pushed or performed.
Whether you are navigating a personal threshold alone, or doing this work with a partner through a relational crossing, Rick and Danielle meet you with the full weight of their presence — and nothing else on the agenda.
Offerings
One-to-One
Held one-on-one with Danielle or Rick. These sessions weave together somatic awareness, relational presence, and ceremonial framing. Each session is shaped by what you bring and what the moment requires. No agenda. No fixing. Just honest company.
Relational
When a threshold affects a relationship — or when two people want to move through a significant passage together. This work honours the intelligence of the relational field and invites both people to be witnessed in the truth of what they are carrying.
Ceremonial
A ceremony designed around you and your crossing. Menopause. Divorce. The end of a career. The beginning of a new chapter. These moments deserve to be marked. We co-create a container that honours what is ending and what is beginning.
Body-Led
For those in the middle of something the body started. A six-month relational container for menopause, chronic illness, somatic awakening, or any threshold where the body is leading the crossing. Held with Rick and Danielle together — present, unhurried, and oriented entirely by what the body knows.
Who Comes
You do not need to arrive with the right words. You only need to arrive.
A Note on Rates
Our individual and couples work is quoted in conversation. Rates are part of the same conversation where we talk about everything else — and we name them with care.
What to Expect
We will not describe outcomes we cannot promise.
We will describe form — what an actual session,
container, or pilgrimage looks like from the inside.
One-to-One
Online or in-person, by arrangement · Length shaped by what's asking, typically 75 minutes
A session begins where you are. Not where you think you should be, and not where the last session ended. We open with a few minutes of arrival — slowing, sensing into the body, letting the nervous system register that this is a place where it does not need to brace.
From there, we listen. You speak what is here. We may reflect what we are hearing in your body — a place where the breath got short, a tone that arrived with a particular memory, a sensation that surfaced as you began to speak. We are not interpreting. We are tracking.
What unfolds from there depends on what is asking. Sometimes the work is somatic — staying with a sensation, allowing it to move, letting the body teach us what it has been holding. Sometimes the work is relational — naming a pattern, working with a part, sitting with a story that has not yet been told to anyone. Sometimes the work is ceremonial — invoking presence, marking what is ending, witnessing what is beginning.
There is no prescribed structure. Each session is shaped by what is there. We close with a few minutes of integration — what landed, what is still open, what to carry into the days ahead. You leave with the next breath. Not a homework assignment.
Relational
Online or in-person, by arrangement · Typically 90-minute sessions, often a container of several
Couples work begins with both people in the room — and with whatever is alive in the relational field on that day. We do not require you to have a "topic." The body of the relationship will tell us what is here. Often, the thing you came to talk about is not the thing that needs to be met.
We listen relationally. That means we are not taking one person's side, and we are not adjudicating. We are tracking what is happening between you — the moments where one nervous system braces and the other softens, where a defensive story arrives, where something true tries to come through and gets edited.
A typical session moves through several layers: arrival and orientation; what is each person actually carrying in this moment; how the dynamic is showing up in the body; and a slow movement toward what is wanting to be named, repaired, or simply witnessed. We may invite practices — co-regulation breath, dyadic eye gaze, a clean communication structure, a moment of held silence.
Most couples work is held as a container: four to six sessions over six to eight weeks, with practice between. Single sessions are possible but rarely sufficient for the kind of crossing that brings couples here.
Ceremonial
Six months minimum · A weave of conversation, somatic work, and ceremonial framing
Longer work moves in phases — preparation, threshold, integration — but those phases are not rigid steps. They are seasons that overlap and return.
Preparation is slow. We meet first by conversation. We do not assume the work is ours to hold until we have sat with you long enough to see what is here. From there, the preparation phase is about regulation, nervous system literacy, and clearing the structural ground — so that when something significant arrives in the field, the body knows how to receive it without bracing.
The threshold is the actual crossing. Sometimes it is a single ceremony. Sometimes it is a season of the body teaching itself something new. Sometimes it is a relational unravelling that needs witnessing. The form is shaped by you. The container — our steadiness, our attention, our refusal to hurry it — is what we bring.
Integration is the longest phase, and often the most undervalued. The work after the work is where lives change. We do not leave you alone with what has opened. Integration is held in continued contact, paced to what your nervous system can metabolize.
What you can expect from us across all three phases: presence, honesty, and a refusal to perform expertise. What we expect from you: an honest report of what is happening, an agreement that the timeline is not yours to control, and a willingness to do your own integration between our meetings.
"The body knows how to complete what the mind
has been trying to hold."
Our work is somatic — meaning we trust the body as a primary site of intelligence. We do not talk about what happened so much as we listen to what is still alive in you. Sessions are slow, attentive, and shaped by what arises.
