Private Sessions

Virtual Private Sessions

Working one-on-one allows for a deeply personalized yoga therapy-informed experience. These private sessions are designed to meet you where you are — physically, emotionally, and in your life — and to offer practical, integrative support you can carry into daily living.

My work blends yoga therapy with mindfulness, somatic practices, intuitive and reflective work, lifestyle support and coaching, guided conversation, and more.

Depending on your needs, a session might include meditation, breathwork, gentle, restorative, or somatic movement, journaling prompts, self-inquiry, visualization, conversation, coaching, or simply space to slow down and listen. Movement may be part of our work, or it may not — everything is responsive, collaborative, and grounded in what’s actually helpful.

Practice, like life, constantly shifts and changes. My goal is to help you create a personal toolkit so you feel more resourced, grounded, and able to take care of yourself and meet yourself where you are through any season of life. You can see what past clients are saying.

What to Expect

My approach is shaped by both lived experience and ongoing study. In my late teens and early twenties, yoga and mindfulness became essential tools for me while navigating significant physical and mental health challenges, including medical PTSD following jaw and brain surgery, panic attacks, derealization, anxiety, and depression. What began as survival gradually became a way of living, which I shared about here.

Over the past 15+ years, I’ve learned how to integrate yoga philosophy, mindfulness, intuition, and spirituality into daily life in a grounded, practical way.

In our sessions, I focus on helping you understand your patterns, reconnect with your inner signals, and develop sustainable ways to care for yourself. This work isn’t about fixing or perfecting yourself; it’s about learning how to listen, respond, and support your whole system with more clarity and self‑trust.

What is Yoga Therapy?

This is taken from a Substack Post I shared on Nov 16, 2025. You can read the full thing here.

“As I said above, I’ve been studying yoga therapy for the past year and just finished the main coursework. I’m now in my integration year, where I get to apply everything I’ve learned and work with people one-on-one and in groups while I work with mentors. I’m hoping to be officially IAYT certified by the summer.

When most people hear “yoga,” they picture stretching or flowing through poses or maybe finding a moment of calm, but as most of you already know, yoga is a 5,000+ year-old holistic system from India, rooted and developed alongside broader South Asian traditions, designed to bring harmony to the body, mind, and spirit.

In simple terms, yoga therapy uses the full spectrum of yoga’s tools — movement, breath, mindfulness, philosophy, intuition, self-inquiry, lifestyle awareness, and more — in a therapeutic, customized way, to support the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.

IAYT - The International Association of Yoga Therapists defines it as: “Yoga therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the teachings and practices of Yoga. They also note that it is difficult to define because it can be approached in so many different ways, as many yoga therapy teachers have modeled for me, and you can read more about that here.

My approach to yoga therapy is less about poses and more about helping you reconnect to yourself, understand your patterns, what is influencing your symptoms and challenges, and discover what balance and whole-person well-being look like for you in this season of life. (Which is different for everyone and constantly shifting.)

It can support everything from stress and anxiety, to major life transitions, chronic pain or illness, nervous system regulation, self-acceptance, intuition/self-trust, cultivating joy, curiosity, greater resilience and ease in daily life, overall health, energy or intuitive work, emotional processing, and more.

Yoga therapy recognizes that we are dynamic beings — constantly shifting, evolving, responding to stress, emotions, environment, relationships, and life transitions. Because of that, your yoga “medicine” might look different every day. Yoga therapy is a type of somatic therapy, so sometimes it’s movement. Sometimes it’s breathwork. Sometimes it’s deep rest, energetic clearing, or honest self-reflection. Sometimes it is more of a lifestyle coaching or spiritual coaching session, and sometimes it is intuitive work. It always depends.

It recognizes that everything is connected and it can be grounded, scientific, woo, or a mix — whatever meets you where you are. Ayurveda — yoga’s sister science — is also part of the lens of yoga therapy. In Ayurveda, which is also thousands of years old and rooted in India, the opposite is often the medicine, and the goal isn’t perfection or extremes, but gently finding your middle path.

To give you an example of yoga therapy: If five people walk in with the same issue — say, chronic low back pain — each one may be caused and supported by something entirely different.

  • stress-related tension —> nervous system down-regulation

  • an L4/L5 herniation —> targeted asana + functional movement

  • emotional buildup —> somatic work, restorative yoga, journaling

  • craving joy + self-acceptance —> practices that cultivate those

  • or… they might just need a new bed

Same symptom. Different root cause. Different yoga therapy and support.

If you know anyone who might benefit from a yoga therapy session or who’s curious about how it works, feel free to share my info. I will also be offering private sessions.

Yoga therapy can be a complementary form of care for various health challenges, physical or mental, and does not intend to replace the services of mental or physical healthcare providers. It can be part of the continuum of care, as an additional layer of support.

  • “Working with Chelsea has completely changed how I relate to my body and myself. Through yoga therapy, I learned how to slow down, regulate my nervous system, and actually feel and process emotions instead of intellectualizing them. As a result, I have more energy, feel less chronically stressed, and experience significantly less anxiety in my day-to-day life. The work is gentle but profound, and it’s had a lasting impact on my self-trust, emotional resilience, and overall well-being.”

    —KATIE B

  • "To say yoga therapy has changed the way I interact with and appreciate my body is an understatement. It taught me to slow down and appreciate my body and all that it does. It also taught me to slow down and take care of it. My favorite part of the experience by far was that Chelsea 100% met me where I was. She knew I wasn't crazy about "yoga" or what I thought yoga was, and she opened my eyes to a version of it that works for me. I left every session calmer, more in tune with my body, and as a better version of myself. Truly, I cannot say enough good things about the experience. ”

    —COURTNEY

  • "“Yoga therapy with Chelsea is not about forcing calm, positivity, or flexibility — it’s about learning how to be in relationship with your body in a way that feels safe, intelligent, and deeply supportive. The work is subtle but powerful. For me, it created a space where I could slow down enough to actually feel, regulate, and process emotions through my body rather than trying to think my way through everything.""

    —Caitlyn

  • "Chelsea meets you exactly where you are, with no agenda other than helping you build trust in yourself and your own nervous system. I’d want someone to know that this isn’t about “doing yoga right” — it’s about learning how to listen, how to respond with care, and how to access steadiness and resilience in a way that carries into real life.”

    —PAST CLIENT

  • "“One of my biggest takeaways is that the goal isn’t to be happy or positive all the time, but to have the capacity to feel the full range of emotions. I’ve learned that joy can’t exist without discomfort, grief, or pain, and that trying to bypass those emotions only disconnects me from myself. I’ve also learned that slowing down and listening to my body is how I access regulation, intuition, and emotional processing."
