Jason von Halle​​
My work is devoted to supporting people in learning to allow and trust the natural unfolding of their being.
​
​I am a Realization Process Senior Teacher and Somatic Coach offering group classes and private sessions. My work integrates subtle attunement practices from the Realization Process and other meditation methods with several depth-oriented approaches to healing and integration (see below).
​
Before entering this field, I spent several years working in the nonprofit sector with young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, adults with mental health diagnoses, and teenagers in foster care. These experiences shaped how I work today and taught me the importance of meeting people exactly where they are—with patience, curiosity, and sincerity.
​
My path into this work is also personal. In my mid-twenties I began to recognize how difficult it was for me to truly inhabit my body. Despite being intellectually curious and drawn to contemplative traditions, much of my life was lived in the narrow band of my thinking mind. A series of powerful life experiences eventually forced me to confront the extent of this disconnection.
​
When I encountered the Realization Process in 2019 while recovering from a life-altering back injury, something in me immediately recognized its refined clarity and depth. These practices have offered a gentle yet powerful way to gradually reclaim this precious instrument of my experience. Along with countless other supports, this, of course, is an ongoing process.
​
Today I bring reverence and wholeheartedness to this work. My intention is not to solve what appear to be problems, but to support the uncovering of what is already present: the felt sense of wholeness that becomes accessible as we deepen contact with the internal space of our body. With this profound inner resource, we can respond to more and more of what arises in our life experience with clarity, flexibility, compassion, and understanding.

*My training as a Coherence Coach is within the psychotherapeutic modality of Coherence Therapy. Because I do not have a counseling license (see important note below), my certification is as a Coherence Coach rather than a Coherence Therapist. The training for the two certifications is the same, both founded on Coherence Therapy's Methodology for transformational change.

Important Note -- Scope of Practice
​
​
​
I offer therapy-informed somatic coaching, not psychotherapy. I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. While this work is trauma-informed, it is not designed to address major or complex developmental trauma, which is best supported by a licensed trauma-specialized psychotherapist. I am committed to working within a clear and ethical scope and will gladly offer referrals when deeper clinical support is needed. --------------------------------------------- I am not offering psychotherapy, counseling, or mental health treatment. I am not a licensed psychotherapist, and I do not diagnose or treat mental, psychological, or physical disorders. My work is best described as therapy-informed somatic coaching. I take a non-pathologizing approach and support clients in cultivating awareness, regulation, and relationship with their lived, embodied experience. While I have training in several trauma-informed and trauma-resolution modalities, the treatment or resolution of major, complex, or developmental trauma is not the focus of my work.​ Because somatic exploration involves listening closely to the body, it is natural that trauma-based holding patterns may arise in our sessions. Based on my training and experience, I feel equipped to support clients in navigating the challenges that can accompany deeper embodiment and increased internal sensitivity. That said, this work is not a substitute for psychotherapy, and it is not intended to address unprocessed or overwhelming trauma as a primary focus. If you know or suspect that you carry significant developmental trauma, complex PTSD, or trauma that has not been worked with extensively in a therapeutic context, I strongly recommend working with a licensed psychotherapist who specializes in complex trauma. I am happy to support you in finding appropriate referrals and may also suggest pausing or transitioning our work if it becomes clear that additional clinical support is needed. This work is best suited for individuals who have a foundational understanding of their psychological history and who feel resourced enough to engage in somatic inquiry without becoming destabilized. My intention is always to work within a scope that is ethical, supportive, and appropriate for your wellbeing.
