"With you, trust comes naturally; you have honor woven into your fabric and that goes a long way when entering new territory in a coach’s office. Something that I learned early on in my sessions with you was that I truly was in the driver’s seat"
Are You Checking Out In Your Life? Wondering What’s The Point?
Get Up off the Couch, Down From the Ceiling, and Through the Door to Your Own Vitality and Power
Does Everything Look Fine, But You Feel Numb Inside?
You have a career, a home, a family. On the surface, your life may look fine. But something’s missing.
Do You Recognize This? What once felt existing... now feels like:
🌀 Dragging yourself to work
🌀 Surviving meetings
🌀 Fighting burnout
🌀 Coming home exhausted
🌀 Doom-scrolling or binge-watching TV
🌀 Collapsing on the couch—night after night
Then there’s the sleep: all the worries and regrets that the day distracted you from come pouring in, and rest eludes you. If I were to ask you, right now, what you were actually physically feeling, would you know? If a friend were to ask you how you’re feeling, you’d probably reply, “not much.”
Every so often though, you may ask yourself, is that really all there is?
When someone experiences overwhelming stress, the natural ability to flow between the calmness of everyday reality and the urgency of fight and flight becomes “stuck.” People can then experience constant anger or anxiety, even though there is no apparent reason for this, or have difficulty becoming motivated about anything although the reality of their lives has much to offer.
We often avoid feeling, because we believe that if we open that Pandora’s box, we would be overwhelmed by our fears, our anger, our shame. The cost is not only to ourselves, but to our relationships, leaving us isolated and lonely. We lack vitality, and purpose.
There Is Another Way
You don’t have to stay stuck.
You don’t have to feel numb.
There is another way forward.
What If Life Felt Like The Way You Always Wanted?
What would it be like, to wake up fully rested, primed to meet the challenges and adventures of the day ahead? To own your life as its master, and to create a life you would want to be in?
To be truly alive is to be embodied, all senses awakened. In a healthy body, we’re able to shift our gears. Move from ease to activity, and back to ease when the work is done, mastering the art of putting just the right pressure on our internal accelerator…when needed… and tap on the brake to return to normal. To become resilient, and well-regulated.
I welcome you. In my experience, clients like you benefit from my holistic skills for body, mind and spirit. Whether in my office or online, our journey together is shaped to your specific needs and goals.
WHO AM I?
Hello, I'm Inga!
For the past 25 years, I’ve worked clinically with people who were under extreme and chronic distress.
I’ve supervised clinicians, and presented my somatic healing techniques to many professional groups.
Before then, I worked with domestic violence, heroin addiction, and created groups that supported prevention of child assault and the strengthening of those who identified as GLBTQIA+, as well as in-patient and intensive outpatient with those who were suicidal.
Wherever you are, I get you. Through my years of practice, I’ve been able to guide over a thousand people as they cast aside the numbness blocking their vitality. I know that this work has allowed my clients to find relief and purpose. To harness stress and make it your workhorse, to find true comfort and ease, enjoying each sensual moment, and to glide between the two like a sailboat in a lively breeze.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to help you feel informed and confident in your next step.
What are some things about your practice I need to know in determining whether you’re a good fit for me?
After being in clinical practice for over two decades, I’ve brought my focus to two main areas. I address the needs of adult children of emotionally immature and personality-disordered parents, Defy Gravity, as well as those experiencing overwhelming stress and the revitalization of numbed lives, Overcome Overwhelm.
For each of these areas, Defy Gravity and Overcome Overwhelm, I provide both in person and zoom coaching. The full program for each of these includes both individual sessions with me and an online course which you can access at any time, with no time restrictions.
I also make the online course available on its own, for those who want additional hacks to the existing health regimen they feel confident about.
To understand my approach, it’s also a good idea to read some of my “Deeper Dive” articles.
To be absolutely clear, I do NOT accept clients as a psychotherapist. Some among you may be experiencing clinical-level depression or PTSD, as opposed to the blues or an accumulation of stress. The hybrid model of using my coaching offerings in conjunction to working with a licensed psychotherapist towards a common goal–your ultimate vitality and purposefulness–is highly effective in my experience.
I like your website, and think you might be a good choice for me: what’s my first step?
You can immediately sign up for one of my coaching courses. However, if you want a more tailored experience, or have more questions before you take the plunge, scroll down to the contact form below, and send your question. After I respond via private email, we may also hop on a discovery call. You’ll have an opportunity to ask me what you need to know in order to make a well-informed decision, to get a sense of who I am and what I might offer you, and see how comfortable you are in my real or virtual office.
I’m actually in a fairly good place, I just want to become even healthier, more whole. How do you work with this?
Welcome to coaching! Life coaching is designed for those who want to further enhance their lives. I myself have benefited greatly from other life coaches as I’ve made significant transitions in my life, and have found that, along with clarifying the presenting issue and goal through practical problem solving, parts work (similar to IFS) and narrative therapy, can be extremely helpful.
As I am also a Licensed Massage Therapist, I may also include bodywork for my in person clients at their discretion. Bodywork includes Somatic Experiencing and CranioSacral Therapy to help regulate the body, allowing people to slow down and think more clearly. It also unearths hidden negative beliefs and stressful experiences, where they live, in the body.
My clients may do intensive work for a while, then not see me again for a month or a year, until they want to include my work to once again enhance their health and wellbeing. I absolutely welcome this as-desired (PRN) relationship, and look forward to exploring with you a unique plan that suits your needs.
What are some pointers to keep in mind, so that I can get the most for my investment?
Show up, on time, ready for the work. If we’re meeting via Zoom, please set yourself up for success! A quiet room, where you will not be disturbed, as well as a solid wifi connection, is best.
I’ll give you something to think about, some activity or exercise to perform, after every session, so that you can bring our work into the life you want to improve. Do it.
If my approach isn’t working for you, let me know. Through my twenty five+ years in practice, I’ve become skilled in multiple areas, so I can certainly adjust my approach to better serve your needs.
Particularly if you struggle to get in, stay in, your body, you’ll find that we work better if we initially build some momentum. It is important that you make time to come on at least a bi-weekly basis. After this, we’ll explore a schedule that works for you. We’ll also check in to see if my approach is right for you.
Recognize that the work we’ll be doing, regardless of which coaching option you’re interested in, is somatic (embodied). It digs deep, and actually impacts your body physically. If you don’t believe that you’re open to somatic work, or that it might be too much for you, be honest. I may not be the right person for you. You decide whether it’s worth a try.
I’m already working with a therapist and am looking for complementary services. Would you be open to working with me and my therapist?
My coaching packages’ fees are listed, with an option to pay over time. Additional coaching, depending on the time you need, is available at $225 per 60 minute hour, $150 per 30 minute half hour. Extended sessions are also available. Extended sessions are also available in 2-hour blocks, including coaching outside the office, and are available at $375
Do you accept insurance or sliding scale?
No, but I am willing to create a payment plan for well-motivated clients whom I believe the courses can help.
Be well, and I look forward to meeting with you!
Feel free to contact me.
