Sharing my skills relationally & collaboratively.
I am happy to see you here.
If you've found this page, I trust there's something pulling you towards me in a particular way.
A survivor of many things, a creator of many kinds, and a very, very determined woman, Alida is here to support you in unearthing more of yourself and mapping your own terrain.

I have gone through many Tower Moments/Rebirths/Hard Restarts in this life. I offer companionship on your journey through that fog.
My skillset is broad and ever-expanding, and each relationship is unique, making it difficult to define what I practice in static language.
What I can say about my services, though, is they are attuned to you and the space in between us.
I think of myself as a doula, of sorts, providing companionship through gestation, presence as you cross the threshold, and prideful support while you stabilize on the other side. Whatever you're moving through, whether it's a relationship ending, the birth of a major creative project, or just some stuckness or funk you feel ready to release, I am here.
In the space below, I will provide some more specific details, to the best of my ability.
Truly, this space is whatever you need.
I am prepared with art supplies, energetic tools (tarot, somatic movement techniques, in-process reiki attunement), and a wealth of experience in healing, change, and mental/emotional reconfiguration. Whether you need guidance, support, or resources, I humbly offer myself as a safe space for exploration through periods of upheaval.
More simply than that, though, we can talk about anything and everything you feel comfortable bringing to the space.
I believe journeys are sacred, and I am fortunate to be witness to yours, beginning wherever you are now and ending whenever the time is right.
Initially, we will schedule a no-cost consultation call. This is an opportunity for both of us to assess the potential energetic match.
From there, provided we are aligned, we'll meet on a regular cadence, with sessions between 60 and 90 minutes (cost discussed below).
Early sessions will focus on gathering information on your background, the things leaving your life, and the directions you're moving towards. (I will yield to your vision, of course. When I last sought out a therapist, I came into the relationship with criteria & intention, which has worked wonderfully. I honor a directed expression of needs.)
Through exploration, we will find the shape of what works together. If your body needs to dance, we will dance. If your spirit needs to make art and rip it to shreds, I will provide witness for that. If you need to just GET YOUR THOUGHTS OUT, I'm absolutely here for that (because, yeah, me too).
The process is your process.
I am simply here to remind you that your natural ways are the right ones.
I offer both virtual and in person sessions.
My preference is in person, as I believe energetic work is best felt in the same space. I tend a studio for this work out of my home in Pittsburgh, PA.
My goal in withholding the price is to make sure you can hear me.
In the past, my own nervous system was oriented to the needs of finances ahead of my internal knowing. If I'd read this page and seen a dollar sign, even a "sliding scale centered on $X," it would have rudely interrupted any other signals of, "This person might be able to help me."
We will openly discuss your individual session pricing during the consultation phone call.
Hesitance is information. Trust is earned through consistency of engagement, not sensed profoundly through the text on a website.
Reach out.
There is no harm in letting your intuition decide how you feel when you hear my voice.
Talk soon,
~ Alida
