Lis Elle (she/they)

We live in a world full of paradoxes; the weave is not an exception to that.  A lot can come up and swirl around at the gathering, so I hope to be able to sit with anyone seeking some security, validation, camaraderie, allyship, grounding, and some laughs.  Afterall, “we’re all just walking each other home”! (Ram Dass)

Uma Kahn

I specialize in mindfulness-based, body-integrated psychotherapy… supporting clients in exploring the vantage point through which they see and experience their worlds. My practice is deeply informed by Buddhist psychology, Hakomi and my own history with physicalized spiritual traditions, including yoga and martial arts.

With equal parts gentleness and honesty, we uncover the strategies and limitations that contribute to discontent. From this clear seeing, choice emerges. We then collaborate to stabilize their tender, newer Self. I think of this process as cultivating “self-agency.” It’s one of the most important things we can do to increase our vitality and thus, happiness.
