Bio

Hello dear human!​

I’m Rysse, like Still I Rise.

Masters in Mindfulness-Based Therapy and Buddhist Psychology, Naropa University

Certified in Indigenous Focusing-Oriented Therapy

I weave Buddhist teachings on liberation with an Indigenous, collective, intergenerational lens. 

We begin each session with a guided meditation to ground and attune our nervous systems. 

From there, the work unfolds intuitively as we navigate what wants to be witnessed, processed, and moved. 

With mindfulness we journey to decolonizing the mind. 

With radical compassion, we shine a light to the places you do not have to navigate alone.
