This package is for individuals whose organizations pay for sessions. If you pay for your sessions yourself, please purchase this package. 

Are you stuck in behavior patterns that undermine your leadership, even though you know better? 

There is a good reason for this, grounded in biology.

Your body remembers your own/your ancestors' real, lived experiences. What it took to survive hard times and be safer.

Your body will stick to those out-of-date patterns until it gets the memo that things are different now; many more resources and options are available.    

Insight and analysis won't give your body that memo (You've already tried that).

To shift your body's sense of agency and possibility, you need to learn the language of sensation. 

That's where I come in. I am here to teach you how to collaborate with your wise body to fully embody the leader that you are meant to be. 

A typical hour-long coaching session may include:

* Educational or goal-setting conversations;

* Remote somatic and intuitive bodywork
(utilizing one or more of these resources: remote energywork + props + your body's resources: hands, breath, position, attention);

* Generative somatics standing or movement practices;

* Somatic rehearsals of new responses to familiar situations;

* Guided sensory awareness or mindfulness practices.

Introducing Generosity-Based Fees

Inspired by a beloved colleague, I am excited to try out Generosity-based fees for a while. If it turns out to be sustainable in the long-term I will joyfully make it permanent.

I invite you to join me in a practice of mutual generosity.

How does it work?

1) First, please review my current Suggested Sliding Scale for a 1:1 coaching session: $250.00-$400.00 USD.

2) Next, please consider: as a seasoned practitioner, I am a community resource.

This resource belongs to the teachers and learning communities that have shaped me;

This resource belongs to anyone who benefits from my work.

As a finite resource, I commit to steward and sustain my practice as best as I can, for the sake of all the beings that I belong to.

Thank you for co-sustaining my work with your payment. 

3) Finally, I invite you to bring loving attention to yourself, your situation and your resources. Then, you decide what to pay me. 

• If what you decide to pay me is listed on the right, go ahead and click it;

• If what you decide to pay me is more or less than what is listed to the right, please reach out and we will make that happen together. 

Thank you for practicing mutual generosity with me.

with gratitude,

Dr. Vanissar Tarakali
