Join Sycamore Now

A potent and spacious year-long learning space for tender-hearted beings to discover healing, feeling well, and doing what makes your heart (and body) sing.

As a member of Sycamore, you’ll explore somatic ways of nourishing yourself, in a welcoming and curious community of learners committed to wellbeing and growth.

Through co-created lessons based on your needs and interests, and a handful of focused 1:1 sessions, you’ll learn to integrate wellbeing and groundedness into every aspect of life!

Lee is an exceptional teacher and human being. She has an ability to communicate which is direct and heart-felt. Her understanding of movement and the connections between movement and our psychologies runs deep as well. I would recommend her workshops and classes to anyone interested in deeper exploration, personal growth, and better communication skills.

After over 10 years — the suffering with chronic pain and fear was gone — it felt like a total triumph :)

—Anonymous, client and stuent
Lee’s instruction and guidance allowed me to reach deep states of relaxation and quiet that has expanded my sense of well being and enabled me to work and live with a greater sense of ease and comfort. I also am able to accomplish tasks with far less effort.

-Jeff DeLone, Sr Partner at Velocity Concepts, VP/Owner of Brain Balance Centers Springfield & Cherry Hill
I am also so proud that I have learned to look and listen to others from a place within myself.

—Ana Goldenberg, Psychotherapist
The way I felt emotionally and physically grounded sold me on Lee’s teaching.

—Deborah Vogel, Neuromuscular Educator, Retired Professor of Dance & Somatics at Oberlin College
Lee has a calm presence and immense well of patience that she shares in her classes and sessions. She provides a safe place for exploration and guides with a gentle hand and open heart. People of all experiences can learn from Lee, both from her wisdom about the human body, and from her genuine way of engaging with the world.

Weekly Group Reiki Boosts

Distant Reiki treatments support your mental, physical and emotional wellbeing, as well as address any particular challenges and goals, by request.

Mid-month, you’ll get a chance to share directly with me about your somatic & wellbeing goals and interests via our optional Walnut WhatsApp group, and I’ll design each lesson with these in mind.

I’ll also chime in on a weekly basis responding to questions and themes emerging in the group thread.
