Discover. Disrupt. Reroute. Rewire.
Neural Somatic Repatterning for individuals, groups & systems.
Unlocking the power of conscious change through understanding how your nervous system and unconscious patterns influence everything from decision-making to relationship dynamics to inner dialogues.
Break free from limiting patterns and cultivate new ways of being that drive personal growth and organizational transformation.
Neural Somatic Repatterning
Neural somatic repatterning leverages both mind and body to create lasting change. Our brains and nervous systems hold onto patterns—stories, beliefs, reactions, and behaviors—that are deeply interconnected and shaped by past experiences, usually without our awareness. These patterns can keep us stuck in cycles of stress, disconnection, and limitation. If we want these patterns to change, then we need to look at all the components of the patterns.
By combining body-based techniques with neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to adapt and learn), we are able to release stored tension, reshape habitual responses, and create new, healthier neural pathways that better align with our desired way of being.
The process works by engaging your autonomic nervous system while examining the interconnected layers of experience: emotional, mental, and behavioral. This comprehensive approach helps shift your body and mind together from states of stress and overwhelm into balance and regulation.
In the repatterning process, you identify unconscious patterns, disrupt those that no longer serve you, and rewire your nervous system to support healthier ways of being. We combine therapeutic insight with body-based practices to create deep, embodied change that allows you to live with greater connection, freedom, and resilience.
Integrative Breathwork
“Every breathwork immersive provides the opportunity to dive deeper into the path of awakening. By releasing what no longer serves us within our mental, emotional, physical, & spiritual conditioning, we may open more and more to the light within…”
- Deb Jacobson
The YOU Project: Austin
From Shadows to Sunlight
A 12-week, in-person experience guiding you from the shadows of old patterns into the light of who you are beneath the noise.
Rooted in Eastern wisdom and informed by modern psychology, The You Project: Austin offers a unique, experiential space to explore and transform one limiting pattern as an entry point into lasting change.
Through practices that awaken the body’s intelligence and enlist the brain’s ability to rewire, you’ll learn to work with your patterns at every level, body, heart, and mind…and let the change that begins here ripple into every part of your life.
Modalities
I believe that sustainable change only happens when the mind and body are both considered in the process. All of the modalities I use work with the mind-body, body-mind connection. We are working to access and process the neural networks that are keeping you stuck in unwanted patterns. Then shifting and building new neural networks that support and reinforce what you are moving toward.

Internal Family Systems
IFS sees the mind as made up of different "parts" or sub-personalities, centered around a core "Self." IFS helps people identify and understand these parts—both protective and wounded—while bringing forth their compassionate Self energy. Through this process, people can develop better internal harmony as their Self learns to lead and heal the whole system.

Somatic Experiencing
SE focuses on resolving trauma by paying attention to bodily sensations and gradually releasing stored physiological tension and stress responses. The practice helps people track their physical sensations, complete interrupted defensive responses (stuck patterns), and restore the nervous system's natural ability to move between states of arousal and calm.

Brainspotting
A derivative of EMDR, brainspotting identifies and processes trauma by finding specific eye positions ("brainspots") that correlate with stored emotional or bodily experiences. Through maintaining focus on these specific visual points while discussing or processing difficult material, people can access, process, and release deep trauma held in the subcortical brain.

Breathwork
Breathwork helps people have what we call ‘corrective experiences’—moments where they can move through trauma in a supportive environment, allowing them to heal in ways that trauma initially blocked.

NLP
NLP is an approach that seeks to create behavioral change by understanding and modifying the connections between neurological processes, language patterns, and learned behavioral patterns. It teaches specific techniques for reframing thoughts, changing limiting beliefs, and modeling successful behaviors through methods like anchoring, mirroring, and submodality shifts.

Coaching
Therapeutic coaching combines elements of therapy and life coaching to help people understand their emotional patterns while actively working toward specific life goals and behavioral changes. It creates a supportive space for both healing past wounds and developing practical strategies for personal growth, often incorporating psychological insights with action-oriented planning and accountability.

Yoga
Yoga brings the tools for nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and connection to the body. This mind-body connection can help clients develop better emotional awareness, as physical postures often reveal holding patterns related to psychological stress.Together, these approaches create a more complete and transformative experience, addressing emotional challenges at their physiological root.
About Me
My journey began as a child growing up in an alcoholic household. I spent years and years battling with depression, self-hatred, shame, volatile relationships, and many other things. Much of my life was spent looking for some way to fix myself, whether through a high-profile job or an intimate relationship - I just wanted to feel worthy. Somewhere along the way, one of my mentors told me that I wasn’t broken and that I had everything I needed to heal within. Really? How can that be?
Through body-based practices, integrative breathwork, therapy, spiritual practices, meditation, plant medicine, and more retreats than I care to count, I discovered the truth in her words and finally became empowered to drive my own healing process across multiple levels. As a therapist based in Austin, TX, this self-empowerment is what I hope my clients take away from our time together...
