As a mindfulness and somatic-based therapist, Miriam offers powerful tools of transformation for people to open to, heal with, and befriend all parts of themselves.
Individual Somatic-Based Therapy
You may already understand your patterns. You can trace them back to childhood, name your attachment style, and explain why you react the way you do. Yet in moments of stress, conflict, or vulnerability, your body still responds automatically.
Somatic-based therapy focuses on shifting these patterns at their roots.
In our work together, we pay attention not only to your thoughts, but to how your nervous system carries past experiences into the present. Many long-standing struggles — anxiety, people-pleasing, self-criticism, emotional shutdown, relationship difficulties — are rooted in relational trauma and early adaptations that once helped you survive. Over time, those adaptations can begin to limit you.
Therapy becomes a space to slow down and gently explore these patterns in real time. Rather than analyzing them from a distance, we work experientially — noticing sensations, impulses, emotions, and relational dynamics as they unfold. This allows new experiences to take shape in the body, not just in the mind.
My approach integrates:
-
Somatic Experiencing®, which helps regulate the nervous system and resolve stored survival responses
-
Neuro-Affective Relational Model (NARM), which addresses identity patterns shaped by early relational experiences
-
Mindfulness-based psychotherapy, which builds awareness and compassion toward all parts of yourself
The goal is not to “fix” you. It is to help you feel more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more flexible in how you respond to life and relationships.
Over time, clients often notice:
- Less reactivity and anxiety
- Greater emotional range and clarity
- Healthier boundaries
- More authentic connection in relationships
- A deeper sense of choice instead of automatic response

Mindfulness Meditation Coaching:
Whether you are just getting started with mindfulness practices or have been practicing for a while, there are always times where we can use some additional guidance to overcome obstacles and deepen our practice. Miriam offers instruction and support to cultivate your practice in one-on-one sessions. Available virtually through online video sessions.
Cost: $180 per 50 minute session — $1000 for a 6 session package
Reiki Sessions:
Unresolved or chronic stress is acknowledged as the underlying cause of most physical and psychological challenges. Reiki is a gentle and non-invasive practice that induces a “relaxation response” to allow the mind-body continuum to adjust and re-balance itself.
Miriam uses a soft, light touch to focus and infuse vibrations into areas on or above the body to promote homeostatic balance and greater overall well-being. She will offer insights for your healing to take forward with you based on what she assesses from the session.
Cost: $250 for 1 1/2 hour
