TUNING
for relief, ease, & presence in embodied experience
TUNING is a word for the approach to somatic, intuitive, spatial, and creative facilitation that I have accumulated through decades of movement study, creative and contemplative education, individual mentorship, and lived experience. Named for Pauline Oliveros’ “Tuning Meditation” and informed by the work of a multitude of individuals and modalities, TUNING began as a series of group workshops and has since evolved to include 1:1 somatic|intuitive sessions, spaces work, and individual creative facilitation.
1:1 somatic|intuitive sessions work to bring connection, balance, and relief to the physical, emotional, mental, and metaphysical bodies through intentional breathing, subtle touch &/or gentle movement practice, creative visualization, deep rest, intuitive reflection, and collaborative conversation. Spaces work applies this lens to outer surroundings to cultivate functionality and ease in home, work, and other environments. And creative facilitation provides somatically rooted entry points into writing, making, and collaborative + community work.
My objectives as a practitioner are to support clients in cultivating deep attention with body & surroundings; bringing relief, ease, & connection into daily experience; finding routes to equilibrium, healing, & care; defining & undertaking purposeful contribution; releasing fear & limitation; and building meaningful approaches to living & dying. Please navigate the colors above for more on each offering and don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions. If you are interested in longer term death/grief care, please find more information here.
RATES
Rates vary by modality and are offered on a sliding scale with openness to alternative payment structures. I offer a 20-minute phone consultation to all new clients free of charge, where we can discuss objectives for our work and possible approaches, and determine if we are a good fit for each other; this is also an opportunity to establish format, frequency, and pricing for longer term work.
LOCATIONS
In-person work is available in the Wood River Valley. I offer work in Boise and Seattle regularly as well, and in other locations occasionally. 1:1 somatic|intuitive sessions & creative facilitation are also available in a virtual/phone spaces. Scroll down for community workshops and please keep in touch here & here to learn about future offerings.
I have had the privilege of experiencing several 1:1 sessions with CL. I initially approached this work with a bit of scientific skepticism, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, I came out of each session feeling truly seen, and with a deep sensation of peace. CL is an intuitive healer who is in touch with human emotions and our connection to the greater natural world. The remarkable thing about these sessions is how CL is able to help others experience these beautiful connections.

TUNING was exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. Because of the workshop I feel that I was able to reconnect with my body in a positive way after all the medical trauma I've been through and create space for an attention/meditation/creative practice in my life again. I know I will take the things we worked on as a group and in our 1:1 session forward into my day to day. Working with CL has contributed greatly to my healing and recovery.

It was a joy having CL as a creative coach. We worked together when I was just getting started on the seeds of a project that would turn into my memoir. CL gave me insightful writing prompts and gentle guidance on where I might dig deeper, and helped me learn to trust my own voice. My book filled out in a meaningful way because of CL’s guidance, and I feel like a more thoughtful writer after our time together.

Grief Release
01.11.2025
1 - 3pm
free
A gently guided somatic experience that will invite participants to locate grief of any form that is ready to be let go, and tend to & release that grief to make space for the new. With equal focus on the physical body & outer surroundings, this walk is an opportunity to be in deep attention alongside others while regulating the nervous system & is intended to be clearing, steadying, & uplifting for those who attend.
We’ll meet at the parking lot just before crossing the river on Curtis/Veterans Memorial (left on Stilson Road if moving north to south, then immediate right into the first parking lot), & then slowly make our way to the bridge near the wave in Garden City. We’ll move along the river on a wide, well-maintained dirt path for about a mile with stops along the way (plus another mile to return to the meeting spot). Anyone who would like to continue on to The Common Well afterward is welcome.
This event is offered free of charge thanks to support from the Alexa Rose Foundation and The Common Well.
