​What to expect in your first intake/new client assessment?

A detailed follow up email with reminders and recommendations for further practice.
"After my first session, I knew I needed to sign up for more. The trauma I endured as a child stemmed deep and has caused me to feel stuck in my adult life in many ways. It is through your somatic therapy that I feel I finally dove deeper and I now feel I have the tools to tackle the stressors that come my way going forward. ~ CM

"Joy has made a huge difference in my life. I worked with several different people before meeting Joy, and am really grateful for her approach. Joy takes great care in offering her insights and experience while being so present with me during sessions. I can see - and feel - the passion she has for her work. Each session has allowed me to make more and more progress towards using somatic-based skills to manage stress and anxiety. Joy has been encouraging and gentle while guiding my sessions and teaching very helpful exercises for breathwork." ~ Lisa
