Sessions, Pace and Coaching Price
All sessions are online, so we can work together wherever you are.
Before the first session, you'll choose one of two tracks: Awakened Mind training with EEG, or brainwave fluency training without it. If you choose the EEG track, we schedule the first session once your Mind Mirror arrives.
If you're using the EEG, the first thing we do in session one is get you hooked up to your own Mind Mirror (I can walk you through it).
We begin by revisiting the goals you shared during our initial call, to see if they're the same or have evolved since then. We fill in any gaps you feel were left out of your story, and I answer any questions that remain from that conversation. Whether you came for help with tech capture or something else entirely, your goals are my priority.
Next, we'll walk through a series of questions designed by Anna Wise, followed by a relaxation and visualization meditation, to see how well you respond to guided work. With the EEG, I read how your brainwaves organize as we go, and that reading becomes the baseline we work from as we move through the meditations and train toward the optimal pattern.
Without it, I take notes on what you say and what I observe in your body language, and work them into the assessment materials Anna developed, which include landmark guides and sensory scales. Each brainwave category has well-known, accepted qualities and characteristics, so those materials let me infer which frequencies are most dominant and when, and this gives me a baseline to work from.
Afterward, I'll review all the material from our first session. I'll email you my insights and a suggested plan for moving forward. If that looks good, we dive in at session two.
In each session after that, we work with Anna's meditations in the order laid out by the protocol, to help you develop a felt sense of each bandwidth and find your own internal landmarks: sensory associations, images, sounds, smells, textures, a word, or a combination of those, which you'll use as a cue to re-engage those specific frequencies.
With practice, you develop a kind of muscle memory for accessing different frequencies. In both tracks, while we begin with the standard order, I'll adjust it when your needs call for it.
We process the psychological material that comes up as we work through the frequencies, particularly in theta, the storehouse of your subconscious mind. It holds your unacknowledged gold as well as your buried fears and roadblocks.
Later in the series, we work with the meditation that brings all of the frequencies together. This was designed to cultivate the optimal pattern. With the EEG, we can see when you produce it. Without it, we identify your subjective landmarks unique to the state this meditation cultivates, and we measure your progress using the same assessment materials from your first session, along with improvements in your day-to-day life, which are what ultimately matter.
With time and practice, between sessions and long after our work together ends, the aim is greater sovereignty over your own mind, especially when the stresses of real life are pressing. Regardless of what you produce on a meditation mat, the ultimate measure of success is holding it together when you'd otherwise come unglued.
There's no final mountaintop. There's always another level, always room to grow.
Where the workbook fits in
Not everyone comes with clear goals right away. Some simply want to strengthen their ability to catch themselves in reactive moments. Others are specifically motivated to disentangle themselves from tech capture. Whichever group you fall into, the workbook goes home with you, with a guided structure for Inner Witness development, including detailing each time you catch yourself reacting. Whether it's an angry boss, an annoying kid, or the urge to check your phone, the point is building the ability to stand back and choose what you do.
We review your entries together in session. Over the weeks, patterns you'd otherwise miss become visible. What you write guides what we work on next.
Tech capture education
If tech capture is what brought you here, we may start with that education before the brainwave work. We'll look at how social media and chatbots are designed to work on us, then at your own use: how much is necessity, how much is distraction or passive entertainment, and how much actually benefits you. From there, we'll build your personal tech plan together.
Pacing and pricing
Sessions last anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes, depending on your needs.
The protocol takes at least seven sessions: one opening session, one for each of the four frequency bands we train, one for the peak performance pattern itself, and a wrap-up session to review what you'll take home with you from this work. Many people want to continue and go deeper. Theta work often needs more than one session, and people frequently return to other bandwidths to embody the training at a deeper level as well.
Sessions are typically every other week. On that schedule, the protocol averages about four months, and many clients work for six months or more. There's no upfront commitment to the full protocol, and I'm open to discussing alternatives that may be a better fit for your needs.
Sessions are $90 each. A limited number of reduced-rate spots are available. Ask about them on your initial call.
