IN PERSON/REMOTE

I'm Zara.


I've been working with folks in a therapeutic capacity for the last 10 years, and have been a Somatic Movement Therapist since 2018. I have trained in modalities including Body-Mind Centering, Somatic counseling, emotional release work, intuitive bodywork, and passive joint mobilization. I'm an advanced Yoga teacher, and I incorporate nondual meditation into my practice.


I am very interested in the ways we can experience a sense of homecoming and belonging in our own bodies, sometimes achieved slowly as a result of a lot of patience and care.


I am a cancer survivor, living with complex trauma. I have experience with nontraditional relationship styles, family estrangement, and exploring new identities in the face of loss or change.

I work with individuals, groups, couples and friendship dyads to clarify communication and improve emotional capacity so that things can be felt and healed.


I work especially well with folks who have tried traditional therapy and are seeking a more deeply feeling, body-based form of support.
