In-Person Sessions in Kirkland WA
This is an offering of my heart. Personal, powerful, and grounding strength training yoga movement sessions.
Create a strong and resilient container with personalized strength, mobility, and yoga programs.
Sessions take place in person at my strength training and yoga center, also known as the healing center/gym I’ve created in my home garage in Kirkland, Washington.
Looking to Work Individually? The first step is to complete the Intake Form. Once received, we’ll schedule a meeting in person or online. This first session is a 30-minute movement assessment which will enable me to create a program customized for your needs. It is free-of-charge.
Additionally, clients are given personalized homework and programming, breath practices, stretches, strength training drills, habit coaching, and more between training sessions.
Programming may include modalities to cultivate self awareness, presence and connect to the authentic self with Breathwork and Trauma Release Exercise®. Read More
Looking to Work as a Team? Are you part of a Company, Group or Organization?
Cultivate strength and embodiment: move with a friend or two by requesting to book a 2-3 person Group Training or apply on behalf of your organization. Once received, we’ll schedule a first meeting, in person or online. This meeting will enable me to ascertain the needs of your team, group or organization and create a program customized for you all.
My work with Teams, Groups and Organizations involves providing In Person and Online Autonomic Nervous System Regulation training.
This training may involve yin yoga, Trauma Release Exercise (TRE®), Integrative Breathwork or a combination of all three. By developing greater awareness of our internal experience, we deepen our ability to be in the present moment. This creates opportunities to thrive as as a cohesive, safe, and resilient team of individuals.

Men’s Retreat
An Intentional Weekend
A weekend away with the boys. Good food. Mountain air. Real conversations.
About the Retreat | This is a few days off the grid with a small group of men who want to slow down, laugh, eat well, and get honest — without hype, posturing or forced vulnerability.
We’ll spend time in the mountains, unplugged, no rush, with space to hang out, move our bodies and talk.
One afternoon includes a guided MDMA session, held intentionally and supported with real preparation and integration.
No fixing.
No performance.
No pretending to be someone you’re not.
Most men don’t need another productivity hack or self-improvement framework. They need:
time away from responsibility
space where they’re not “on”
being in the company of men they don’t need to impress
nervous systems that can finally come down a notch
conversations that don’t stay on the surface
containment that honors their presence
This weekend creates those conditions — simply and deliberately.
Not by pushing. Not by breaking people open. But by intentionally slowing things down enough for honesty to emerge on its own.
Interested in booking?
This weekend is for men who are doing well on paper but feel stretched thin, carry a lot of responsibility and don’t want a guru, coach, or motivational speech.
This weekend is for men who value honesty over hype and are comfortable enough with themselves to be real.
Does that sound like you? Apply for the Men’s Retreat below by filling out the questionnaire. We’ll reach out once we receive your application.
You don’t need prior medicine experience but…
you do need self-responsibility, curiosity, and respect for the container.
The Men’s Retreat is an application-based weekend in order to ensure group coherence.
We invite you to apply. After receipt of your application, we’ll have a short, straightforward call to confirm our intentions and details.
We’ll be staying at Snowgrass Lodge, a quiet retreat lodge in the Washington Cascades designed for people to unplug and slow down.
Snowgrass Lodge sits in open mountain meadow land with forested trails, wide views, quiet nights, and limited cell service. It’s simple, comfortable, and human.
The environment naturally supports nervous system downshifting without trying to impress you.
We’ve chosen Snowgrass Lodge because it removes distraction without austerity, supports connection without performance and lets the weekend unfold naturally.
While the lodge isn’t the highlight, it is the container that makes everything else possible.

We keep the structure loose but intentional.
The Rhythm of the Weekend
You can expect shared meals, time outside, unstructured hang time, light movement, grounding practices and one guided MDMA session and integration through conversation & rest.
No packed schedules. No 6am wakeups. No forced circles.
What’s Included
+ 4 days / 3 nights at Snowgrass Lodge, a private mountain lodge located in the Cascade Mountains
+ Guided group sessions and rituals
+ Chef-prepared, nourishing meals (with accommodations for dietary needs)
+ MDMA-assisted medicine day with preparation and facilitation
+ Intentional space for rest, connection and brotherhood
+ One 90-minute group Zoom call one week before the retreat
+ One 30-minute individual Zoom session prior to arrival
+ One 90-minute integration Zoom call one week after the retreat
What happens before the retreat?
Preparation is part of the experience. You’ll receive one 90-minute group Zoom one week before arrival. We’ll cover expectations, logistics, safety, intentions, and orientation so you arrive grounded.
Additionally, you’ll receive one 30-minute individual Zoom with a facilitator before arrival. This is a personal readiness check-in and space to ask questions.
What happens after the retreat?
Integration is built in. We host a 90-minute group integration Zoom one week after the retreat. This helps make sense of what came up and supports bringing it back into daily life in a grounded way. You won’t be left open without support.
What type of sleeping arrangements are available?
Room options and pricing tiers are shared after acceptance. Room amenities may include: large shared common areas, a mix of private and shared rooms, clean, comfortable beds and shared bathrooms in some cases.
What about food? Is there a chef?
Yes, we have a dedicated chef. Meals are nourishing, balanced and supportive of energy and clarity. We can accommodate common dietary needs and food sensitivities (gluten-free, dairy-free, etc.) when communicated in advance. You’ll be fed well without micromanagement.
Do I need prior MDMA or psychedelic experience?
No. First-timers and experienced participants are welcome. Readiness matters more than experience.
Is participation mandatory?
No. Participation is invitational. Silence is welcome. There is no pressure to share or perform vulnerability.
Can I opt out of the MDMA session?
The MDMA session is a core part of the weekend. If you’re unsure, let’s talk before you apply.
Is alcohol included?
No. This weekend is about presence and clarity.
What’s the physical demand?
Low to moderate. Movement is optional and designed to feel grounding, not intense.
This weekend is not a good fit if you have:
+ A history of psychosis, bipolar I disorder, or schizophrenia
+ Unmanaged PTSD or severe dissociation
+ Active substance dependence
+ Significant untreated mental health conditions
+ A need for acute psychiatric care
This isn’t a judgment — it’s about safety and appropriateness.
Screening is part of the process.
About the MDMA Session
What this Men’s Retreat is… and what it isn’t.
This isn’t a motivational weekend.
It isn’t group therapy. It isn’t a party. And it isn’t a silent monastery. It’s a long weekend with:
good food prepared by a professional chef cooked for you
time outside
movement that feels grounding, not punishing
long conversations and long silences
laughter, swearing, and real presence
ritual and ceremonial elements to support connection
one guided MDMA experience, held carefully and cleanly
support before and after so nothing is rushed or sloppy
You won’t be asked to share more than you want.
You won’t be pushed toward catharsis.
You won’t be told who to become.
You’ll be treated like an adult.
The MDMA Session
One afternoon includes a guided MDMA experience.
This session is intentionally prepared, consent-based, facilitated by trained professionals and focused on emotional openness, clarity and connection.
This is not about chasing peak experiences. This is not therapy cosplay.
MDMA, when held correctly, softens defenses without overwhelming the system. It allows for honesty without collapse and connection without pressure.
The medicine is not the point.
The conditions around it are.
That’s why preparation and integration are built into the weekend.
