SHIFT: A Somatic Weekend for Men
A Somatic Workshop for Men Focused on Nervous System Regulation
SHIFT: A Somatic Weekend for Men is a day-and-a-half, in-person workshop designed to help men feel better in their bodies and develop practical skills for emotional regulation, emotional awareness, and self-inquiry. This is not about analyzing your emotions or talking endlessly about your past.
The work is grounded in somatic education and nervous system awareness and draws from over a decade of experience facilitating men’s groups, retreats, and embodied practices. Rather than focusing on emotional labels, we work with a simple, body-based framework that many men find immediately accessible: expansion and contraction.

This 4-day somatic training is designed to help men develop emotional leadership skills. Men who come to this training are therapists, coaches, mental health workers, leaders, and men who want to deepen their ability to listen, guide, and open up. I will be co-leading this retreat with Owen Marcus, Duncan Rich, and a special guest.

THE PRACTICE
THE PRACTICE is a twice-monthly, donation-based somatic workshop for men who want to understand themselves better through direct experience. It’s a live somatic laboratory for men to feel, notice, and relate differently
This is not a lecture and it is not group therapy. It is a guided, experiential space to slow down, notice what is happening in your body and emotions, and explore how your nervous system shapes the way you relate, react, and lead.
You do not need prior experience with somatic work or men’s groups to attend.

Somatic Experiencing Coaching
You’ve tried mindset work. You’ve gone to therapy.
But you’re still feeling stuck—disconnected from your body, your emotions, your joy.
That stuckness? It’s not in your head. It’s in your nervous system.
As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and trauma-informed coach, I help men who feel burned out, shut down, or chronically stressed reconnect with their bodies and regulate their nervous systems.
This work isn’t about fixing you. It’s about slowing down enough to feel—and letting your body lead the way toward healing.
Through somatic coaching, you’ll learn how to release old patterns of tension, work through emotional pain stored in your body, and reclaim your sense of calm, strength, and aliveness.
Ready to reconnect with yourself?
