Services

All of my work supports one core process:

Moving from survival in a body shaped by illness toward safety, agency, and meaning.

I offer programs for individuals navigating illness and recovery, as well as education and consultation for healthcare professionals seeking more integrative, patient-centered approaches.

Survival to Sovereignty: An 8-Week Embodied Integration Program

A guided, trauma-informed program for individuals who have lived with illness, medical trauma, or chronic stress — and want to reconnect with their body, identity, and future.

This program supports participants in:

  • Understanding nervous system responses to illness and trauma

  • Rebuilding safety and trust in the body

  • Exploring identity beyond diagnosis and lost timelines

  • Cultivating agency, self-regulation, and self-compassion

  • Approaching life transitions (relationships, fertility, purpose) with greater clarity

The program integrates education, guided embodied practices, reflection, and group support in a way that is accessible, non-pathologizing, and deeply respectful of lived experience.

Reclaiming Safety: Nervous System Foundations

A shorter & accessible program focused on stabilization, regulation and understanding stress responses in the body. This program is ideal for those earlier in their healing journey or seeking foundational tools.

Life After Illness Workshops

Topic-specific workshops exploring identity and major life transitions through an embodied and trauma-informed lens.

Beyond Biology: Trauma-Informed, Patient-Centered Care

I offer education, workshops, and consultation for healthcare professionals and organizations seeking to better understand:

  • The lived experience of illness and survivorship

  • Medical trauma and nervous system dysregulation

  • Patient identity, agency and meaning

  • Integrative, collaborative approaches to care

These offerings are grounded in lived experience, clinical research, and years of speaking at multidisciplinary conferences, and are designed to complement existing medical practice.

If you are interested in working together, as an individual or organization, I welcome you to reach out.

Thank you, Montana, for your help and support during this difficult time of my life to help me find myself and my new tribe!"

  • "I just wanted to send a quick note to thank you again for starting off my wedding day with such a wonderful yoga class. I loved your focus on the heart during the flow, and about how the heart needs strength and balance. It was so wonderful looking out into the trees as the sun peeked behind them, and even though it was early, it really helped me get into the right headspace for the day! Thank you for being a part of my most special day. I would tell someone who is considering incorporating a yoga/meditation practice into their celebration or transition that it really helps center the mind, body, and spirit, and helps prepare one for entering this milestone."

    —Amanda Freedman

  • “Montana’s yoga classes are thoughtful, engaging, and truly one-of-a-kind. Her virtual yoga class for myself and 8 friends made my birthday special, fun, and easy to plan. I highly recommended Montana for any of your virtual or in-person yoga needs!”

    —Astrid Marschall

  • "I listened to your podcast interview and it was amazing! The interview really made all my feelings around this experience completely validated so thank you! The podcast made me feel completely understood in my feelings... I am thankful that there are other people who feel exactly the same and can relate to my experience so thank you for much!"

    —S. L.

  • "I recently watched your Youtube video, Healing from Within: Somatic Embodiment in Cancer Care, I responded deeply to your distinction between 'cured' and 'healed', as it was the first time to hear this truth verbalized about cancer care and the treatments involved. I could feel your integrity around your own experience with cancer care and found it most impressive and positive that you have harnessed your situation and are now able to educate and support others."

    —L. M.

  • "Thank you so much for your thought-provoking and valuable contributions, Montana! I’ve seen so far looks outstandingly important. So thrilled with our work together!"
