Personalized Education, Preparation & Advocacy Support

Every person brings a unique history, set of concerns, and hopes to their healthcare experiences, which means our time together is guided by you—your questions, your priorities, and what you need to feel more informed, prepared, and empowered.

After a free mini session to meet and chat we will have the one time Intake Appointment to clarify your goals and needs. I then offer individualized 60–90 minute sessions in packages of three sessions. All appointments are offered virtually or in person in my office in Elkins Park, PA.

Our time together might include:

• Understanding your healthcare: Learn what to expect during gynecologic visits, examinations, tests, and procedures.

• Unpacking past experiences: Explore how previous healthcare experiences may influence your feelings and responses to even the idea of future care. We can work to process past trauma, grief, and other unresolved experiences.

• Attunement Exam practice sessions: Attune to the needs of your nervous system! Consider what is helpful to you during an exam—from positioning, draping, clear communication every step of the way vs. silence or a little chit-chat. Lots of options exist for calming and soothing ourselves during exams - we can practice to find what helps you stay embodied. In person I offer actual practice exams - any or all parts of a gyn/ breast or pelvic exam for practice, desensitization, trouble shooting pain/ discomfort, etc.

• Finding your voice: Practice asking questions, expressing concerns, setting boundaries, and communicating your needs to healthcare professionals.

• Education for a support person: Invite a partner, friend, or family member to a session to help them learn how to provide the support you want and need.

• Post-exam follow up: Check in to ensure you’re getting care for yourself following a medical appointment, whether that means rest, reflection, calming activities, and celebrating.

All 3 session packages include messaging before and after medical appointments.

You don't need to know exactly what to ask for before we meet.

We'll figure that out together.

Whether you're preparing for an upcoming appointment, working through a difficult healthcare experience, or simply wanting to become a more confident advocate for yourself, our work begins with listening to what matters most to you.

My goal is simple: to help you feel prepared, empowered, and supported in your healthcare experiences.
