I weave modern neurobiological models, dance-movement, & somatic approaches to help you unwind bodily patterns of trauma & oppression in the nervous system, shift self-limiting patterns, & develop tending care for all parts of yourself.

I aim to co-build a brave space so you can have a deep felt-sense experience of your body's capacity for healing. Together we traverse the worlds of sensation, image, gesture, movement, breath, feeling, pleasure, & vitality.
My approach is warm, caring, experiential, playful, & depth-oriented. I work from an intersectional, racial justice, trans liberation, anti-oppressive lens. My practice is open to teens, adults, relationships. I weave in expressive arts, dance-movement, ancestral healing, ritual space, integration of psychedelic & spiritual experiences, sandplay.

Nima's presence is warm, authentic, and loving. As a colleague, his way of being reminds me of what's possible in relationship with myself and another. His own commitment to a path of awakening and unsettling oppression shows and ripples outward.
