Sessions for queer, trans, non-binary folks and women
Nurture your relationship to your body
If your body is calling for more —more depth, healing, pleasure, and connection —welcome, you’re in the right place.
You may be here because you’re carrying old wounds, grappling with challenging relationship patterns, or longing to feel grounded and safe in your body. Or you may be seeking relief from the physical and emotional tension of chronic stress and overwhelm, or wanting to reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom and capacity for creativity and pleasure.
I’m River, and I’m a somatic practitioner and bodyworker, trauma support guide, and embodied pleasure educator. I work with individuals and groups seeking heartfelt transformation to create profound and sustainable change.
My approach is curated and highly attuned to each person’s needs. Each session is intentional and rooted in over a decade of training, study, and supporting folks with deep somatic healing.
Clients come to me for support with:
Release from chronic tension, pain, or longstanding holding patterns
Restoration after trauma, surgery, or emotional overwhelm and wounding
Rebuilding grounded boundaries and embodied consent from a place of clarity and self-trust
Deeper intimacy and reconnection to self
Renewed capacity for pleasure, aliveness, and creative flow
Sustainable embodied presence in relationships, work, and daily life
If you’re ready to invest in a transformative journey that expands your capacity for pleasure, confidence, and connection, book a private phone consultation, and let’s explore the ways this work can support you.

Tension and Trauma Release Exercises (TRE®)
A somatic pathway to recovery
Healing is a dedicated and honorable journey, one that mends your relationship with yourself, your body, and your capacity for connection with others.
Tension and Trauma Release Exercises (TRE®) comprise a refined body awareness practice that supports the body in completing stress responses, releasing chronic holding patterns, and restoring a felt sense of safety and presence after overwhelming or traumatic experiences.
TRE® is a somatic self-help tool that, once learned in just three sessions, can be used for ongoing emotional and physical support. TRE® teaches clients and groups to become more aware of subtle body signals before stress escalates, allowing for earlier intervention rather than solely on recovery, so that you can spend less energy coping and more energy living.
