What happens next
-
Schedule a session
Choose your times on the calendar — one Manual and one Somatic session each week, so the whole twelve weeks is on your calendar before day one. If you have further questions, send a note and we’ll work it out together.
-
Complete your forms
Print the Intake & Health History form and the Consent & Liability Waiver, fill them in at home, and bring them to your first appointment. Shannon keeps client records on paper, so there is nothing to send in advance.
-
Come prepared and hydrate
For manual work: shorts or two-piece flexible workout clothing. For somatic work: comfortable, loose-fitting clothing you can sit and move easily in. Drink plenty of water before and after each session.
- Session length. 90 minutes for both Manual Therapy and Somatic Therapy.
- What to wear. For manual work, shorts or two-piece flexible workout clothing. For somatic work, comfortable, loose-fitting or flexible clothing you can sit and move easily in.
- Active participation. Both approaches are collaborative — you’ll be coached to direct your breath, make small mindful movements, and say what you notice.
- Afterwards. Drink plenty of water and rest for the remainder of the day. Avoid strenuous training so your nervous system can integrate the changes.
- Ongoing change. Your alignment and movement habits continue to adapt for several weeks after the final session.
- Between sessions. Each session comes with a short review and homework, so the work continues at home.
