Restoration Sessions
Address patterns of pain and limitation to (blessedly) get on with your one wild and precious life.
What is your body trying to tell you, anyway?
It’s hard to tell when you are caught in the spin of mystery pain, a scary diagnosis, or chronic illness, isn’t it? The discomfort of wanting to feel better (now) leaves you exhausted, frustrated, and increasingly isolated. You’ve tried all the self-help: the million “guaranteed hacks” of Instagram, checking your astrology (is it Chiron return?), physical therapy routines, personal development coaching programs, and likely physical therapy. You are secretly (or not so secretly) wondering why pissed that your body isn't cooperating with your best-laid plans. You just want the exhaustion, chronic pain, mystery symptoms, or persistent anxiety that goes along with physical uncertainty to go away so you can get on with your life. I know, sister, I know.
The anger and frustration are so valid. Trying to ignore it seems so reasonable. Admitting that you are experiencing an ongoing condition is like admitting defeat. However, you've hit what feels like an impenetrable wall with your body that has left you raw, vulnerable, and disconnected from the life, from the Self, you once knew or had envisioned.
Your sweet animal body isn't failing you—it's communicating with you.
The next step isn't forcing another strategy or informational course onto an already overwhelmed nervous system. The wisdom and healing you desperately seek already exists within your body—the very same body you may want to fix, ignore, or escape from.
Like an oracle, your pain points directly to truths you can no longer afford to ignore. While you understandably long to return to how things were, your body is inviting you into a profound transformation—when you honor this invitation and address these patterns holistically, pain diminishes and your energy returns. It’s a beautiful thing.
Find greater ease body, mind, and soul through embodied Restoration Sessions.
A Love Note on the Healing Power of Relationship
So many smart, intuitive women I work with have big, full lives and are driven to make a big difference through their work. But often, they find themselves trapped in a cycle of "I have to figure this out on my own." This isn't just stubborn independence—it's often an embedded trauma response from childhood experiences of having to be the strong one, the caretaker, or feeling fundamentally unsupported.
If this resonates, I want you to know I see you. You're the high achiever whose determination has carried you through so much, but now your body is sending you urgent messages through pain, exhaustion, or illness. Perhaps you've already experienced a scary diagnosis, the frustration of mysterious symptoms, or the uncertainty of life with chronic illness. From the traumas to the tension of not trusting your body, your nervous system can no longer maintain the vigilance required to "do it all yourself."
Your body deserves a different approach.
Pain in the body is amplified through trauma and nervous system dysregulation. Pain is diminished when you regulate the nervous system through safe, attuned connection. This invites the innate healing intelligence of the body to work magic in your sweet body. While your self-study and individual practices are incredibly supportive and valuable, healing accelerates dramatically when you're witnessed and guided within a sacred container of trust.
Our work together creates a healing relational field where:
Your overwrought nervous system can co-regulate with mine, discovering patterns of ease that have felt elusive for too long.
Your physical symptoms are received as meaningful communications rather than inconvenient interruptions, settling pain.
Your journey through chronic pain, mystery symptoms, or illness is witnessed without judgment, allowing for understanding and compassion.
Your body's wisdom is amplified through our shared attention, revealing insights that remain hidden in isolation.
Your authentic rhythms emerge as you're held in presence that honors your strength and vulnerability.
When you feel truly seen in your wholeness—not just your symptoms or struggles—patterns that seemed fixed in your body and life become fluid again. Changes that once felt impossible unfold naturally, creating a cascade of healing that flows through every dimension of your being.
Address the physical and spiritual dimensions of pain.
The Reverence Framework: A Restorative Approach
I know the physical symptoms suck. But what if the pain isn't just something to endure or ignore, but a messenger guiding you toward wholeness?
Your body holds the story of everything you've experienced—the trauma, joys, hurts, and celebrations. When chronic pain, mystery symptoms, illness or recurring patterns limit your life, it's not random. It's your body's protective intelligence trying to communicate something vital.
Through Restoration Sessions, we decrease pain and decode your body’s messages using The Reverence Framework:
The Power of Intention — This foundational process directs our sessions. By holding your intention and looking at your history, your pain, and your desires, we identify where patterns originate and apply energy medicine, movement, inquiry, and breath in ways that address root causes, not just symptoms. This approach is tailored to you, dramatically accelerating your transformation.
Regulate & Resource — Through personalized energy medicine, breath practices, and gentle movement, we quiet the pain body and you experience immediate physical relief as tension releases, anxiety diminishes, and a profound sense of calm emerges, often from your very first session.
Remember — Body Mapping reveals how your physical experiences connect to emotional patterns. As you develop the capacity to feel sensations without resistance, truly, your body releases protective patterns. Pain patterns begin to unravel, replacing confusion with understanding and frustration with compassion.
Recalibrate — Neuroplasticity allows you to rewire both body and mind actively. As old stories surface, we shift narratives that have kept you stuck and create new neural pathways that support healing. Discover newfound mental clarity and emotional resilience, breaking free from limiting beliefs that have kept you trapped in cycles of pain and self-doubt.
Receive — The deepest transformation happens beyond logical understanding. Through energy medicine, metaphor, and restorative movement tailored to your body's needs, we bypass mental resistance. Experience renewed energy and vitality as your body's natural healing abilities activate, creating a profound shift from depletion to sustainable aliveness.
Right Action — Our co-creative mentorship helps integrate physical shifts with new understanding. Gain the confidence to embody your authentic self and purpose, moving beyond managing symptoms to creating a life of meaning, connection, and embodied wholeness.
These elements work synergistically, creating a comprehensive approach that honors your wholeness and addresses your healing at all levels: physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual.
Restoration Session are for you if:
You are navigating physical challenges yet refuse to be defined by them—whether chronic pain, mystery symptoms, autoimmune conditions, or a recent diagnosis that has shaken your sense of self
You can envision who you want to be when symptoms quiet down and your energy returns—you're seeking not just relief but full reclamation of your creative force and joy
You are too busy creating and caring for others to center your health challenges, yet intuitively know that pushing through is no longer sustainable
You don't identify with being "sick" or "in chronic pain" but notice persistent limitations you've normalized or dismissed as "just how it is now"
You long for a supportive force during a significant transition like perimenopause, recovery from surgery, or adapting to a new diagnosis—transitions that have left you questioning your identity and path
You are ready to shift from battling your body to partnering with its wisdom, transforming resistance into receptivity and frustration into flow
You seek to alchemize your narrative around illness into gold—finding magic and meaning in your one wild and precious life
You feel caught between clinical approaches that ignore your intuition and alternative paths that lack practical results
I specialize in guiding spiritual, creative, and intuitive women who refuse to be reduced to just one dimension. My clients typically arrive feeling fragmented by their challenges, yet leave our work feeling empowered and whole. They initially seek relief from physical symptoms, only to discover our work catalyzes profound change throughout their lives. As we restore connection to body, mind, and soul, new possibilities emerge that weren't visible before.
What will you do with your one wild and precious life? - Mary Oliver
Hi I’m Nona
As a certified yoga therapist, master coach, energy healer, and applied psychologist with over 18 years of experience working with women, I bring a unique integration of somatic expertise, healing practices, and deep understanding of the mind-body connection to our work together.
My approach weaves together therapeutic yoga, psychology, energy medicine, and compassionate guidance—all anchored in the profound truth that your body holds the wisdom needed for your healing journey. Having navigated my own path through emotional trauma, a surprising diagnosis of M.S., and years of navigating mystery symptoms, I understand the path you're walking.
By engaging your body’s innate intelligence, we will unravel limiting patterns that are causing pain and exacerbating symptoms at their source. This opens doorways to a relationship with your body that transforms pain into wisdom, limitation into possibility, and fragmentation into wholeness.
Your body is an oracle and an ancient guide to your most authentic healing. Are you ready to listen deeply and reclaim your innate wholeness?
The Restoration Sessions Journey
A sacred container for your healing transformation
You can expect:
Three 60-minute Restoration Sessions each month tailored to your unique patterns and needs, combining therapeutic movement, guided imagery, and transformative mentorship to address both acute symptoms and underlying patterns.
Energy medicine and healing metaphor work woven throughout each session to facilitate deeper release, nervous system regulation, and renewed connection with your body's innate wisdom.
Customized between-session practices carefully selected to support integration, deepen your embodied awareness, and sustain momentum in your healing journey.
Support via Marco Polo or Voxer for questions, breakthroughs, and guidance whenever you need additional support between our formal sessions.
Visual body mapping and energetic assessment tools to track your progress, celebrate subtle shifts, and illuminate your evolving path toward wholeness.
Investment: $600 per month*
*After the first month, we will reassess how many sessions to proceed with each month, considering your healing needs we will determine the optimal number of sessions per month as we continue.
Note that I recommend a three-month commitment - while some clients experience significant shifts after just one session, a three-month commitment creates the continuity and safety needed for deeper patterns to unwind and new ways of being to take root. This timeframe allows us to work through layers of physical, emotional, and energetic patterns so you enjoy lasting, embodied change.
Begin Your Restoration Journey
The patterns that have shaped your relationship with your body, your sense of wellbeing, and your response to life's challenges didn't form overnight. They were created through years of experiences—some that you chose, and some that chose you. Together, we can transform these patterns into pathways of healing.
I invite you to a complimentary 20-minute consultation to explore whether Restoration Sessions are the missing piece in your healing journey. During our conversation, we'll:
Identify the persistent, painful physical and emotional patterns you are struggling with.
Explore the benefits of decreasing pain and healing these patterns in your life.
Determine whether my integrated healing approach resonates with your needs.
Answer any questions you have about Restoration Sessions and what to expect.
This conversation is an honest exploration of possibility—not a sales pitch.
I work with a limited number of individual clients to ensure each receives my full presence and attention. If you've been searching for a more holistic approach to addressing chronic pain, a scary diagnosis, mystery symptoms, or restoring wholeness after a prolonged illness, I encourage you to schedule a call.
What women say
“I signed up for Nona's embodied sessions not knowing exactly what to expect and yet also knowing it was going to be exactly what I wanted and needed. And of course, it exceeded my expectations.
Nona is magical and loving and I swear there is one thing that emerges from each session that literally changes my relationship with life (seriously, it's that good!). And the best part is that it is deepening my embodiment practices in such a gentle and profound way that I know that I will forever be using everything I have learned and practiced with her mastery of mind, body, spirit.
I had very specific physical pain going on in my body before we started, and the work together has helped to alleviate many of these areas while restoring my body to its natural state of being. I couldn't recommend this body-centered healing work enough!”
-Stacey Andon, Master Coach
“Working with Nona has been an awesome mind-body-shifter and healing experience for me. As a person with an autoimmune condition and resultant permanent joint damage, pain is often a companion. I am committed to a practice of yoga 5 times a week, and I was not sure what yoga therapy would offer.
Having worked with Nona before and experienced her coaching, breathwork, and sacred gifts, I did not hesitate to sign up, and the magic began. Seemingly small shifts in how I was moving, enhanced body awareness, how I was sensing within my body, have made a difference in how I feel and move and what I choose to do and what I can achieve.
The biggest shift is how I focus on my body and all the areas that are feeling good (vs where the pain is, as the pain had been louder before this shift). Now I am feeling the ongoing benefits, the gifts that keep giving, of Nona’s inspired support and genius. I highly, highly recommend working with Nona and experiencing the benefits of therapeutic yoga.
-Helen Samson Mullen, PhD.
“I am a huge YES to Nona Therapy! At 61, I wouldn’t have believed the movement and principles that Nona teaches would make such a big difference in how I move. It’s like I was given a secret code to understand my body.
As a newbie athlete, I feel incredibly lucky to have found this approach to improve my walking, hiking, and jogging. I have less pain, more ease, and increased joy with every movement of my body. Do yourself a favor and give this a try. It WILL make a positive difference.
Oh, and Nona rocks!”
-Lauren Monack, Certified Coach
