How do I begin?

Right here. Keep exploring this website. Take your time.

When you sense the Somanautiko approach is a good fit for you, getting started is easy. Contact me to arrange a free 15 minute phone consultation. This conversation enables you and I to become acquainted and make sure the Somanautiko approach is the best match for what you, your child, and/or family need and are ready to explore.

What can I expect?

It depends on what we identify to be the focus of each particular session. A session might include bodywork on a treatment table, and/or we might be moving on the floor, and/or talking while seated in chairs. No two sessions are ever the same. Expect the unexpected.

How do I make an appointment?

After exploring this website and determining that the Somanautiko approach is a good fit for you,  Contact me to arrange a free 15 minute phone consultation. When we both agree to the match, we will schedule your Initial Intake visit during this call.

Once you are an established client, we will schedule appointments at the end of your sessions or afterwards by phone, text, or email.

You can call me directly at 413.772.0078

How do I prepare in advance of a session?

If you are a new client, please fill out the intake form that will be sent to you via email or U.S. post.

  • 30 minutes prior to your session drink 2 cups of water so that you are well hydrated and more responsive to treatment.
  • Wear comfortable clothing that you feel most at ease in and does not restrict your movement. Do not wear an underwire bra, jeans, or belt as these will limit treatment options.
  • Remove anything that might affect your electromagnetic field: fitbits, smart watches, cellphones, etc.

 

Most importantly, bring your curiosity, an open mind, and a desire to engage in your own transformation and healing.

What are your fees and payment options?

Current rates are:

  • $150 for Initial Intake: a 75 minute session for all clients: individuals, children, and families
  • $150-$180 Welcoming Newborns Evaluation & Treatment: Home visits are possible with additional travel charges depending on location
  • $125 per hour for on-going treatment sessions: after initial intake

 

Payments are made by cash, personal check, online via Venmo. I will send an invoice (payable online) if you wish to pay with a credit card.

Accessibility is important.

I keep my rates intentionally low so care is accessible for everyone. No one will be denied access to care because of an inability to pay the full rate. If needed, we will work out a payment plan or negotiate a rate that is more affordable for you and your family.

Do you take insurance?

No, I do not accept insurance.

I can provide you with a receipt if you want file for out-of-network reimbursement or I will send an invoice (payable online) if you wish to pay with Health Savings Account (HSA) debit card.

What happens if I cancel at the last minute?

Please give as much notice as possible if you need to change or cancel an appointment.

Be aware that you are financially responsible for missed appointments and any cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment.

Exceptions may be made in cases of extreme weather or sudden illness. We are all human.
