Coaching

There are two primary kinds of coaching sessions that ONDO offers. Both use an interactive, client-centered approach. Most sessions can be held in the comfort of your own home via Zoom, (typically 60 minute sessions) so this means location is not a barrier. In-person sessions can be booked within the greater Los Angeles area and can be combined with 1:1 Somatic Sound into longer sessions of 90 or 120 minutes — a truly beautiful combination! Travel to other locations can also be arranged.

Embodied Coaching 

These guided sessions follow the individual needs of each human, offering a somatic oriented and trauma informed approach. The aim is to help clients move through difficult times or long-held patterns (emotional or otherwise) that may be stuck in the soma (aka “bodymind”). In contrast to conventional therapeutic modalities, working with a somatic coach offers another POV, and allows for exploration of how stress, trauma, or unprocessed feelings may be manifesting (or have long-ago manifested) in the body, allowing for a more holistic approach to healing

As a coach, Shane strives to create a safe, non-judgemental, and supportive space, from which he can support the modalities that resonate with each client: invitational somatic inquiry and exploration, meditation & visualisation, movement, breath, somatic sound, and more. The sessions are informed and influenced by Shane’s longtime study of contemplative traditions as well as numerous holistic modalities including: Integrated Vibratrional Therapeutics, Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Meridian Yoga Technique, EFT (Tapping), Bilateral Stimulation, Nidra (aka Non-Sleep Deep Rest), and many other somatic centered techniques. The process of working with Shane is gentle and gradual, focusing to create embodied self-awareness and empower emotional resilience through inquiry, exploration, and curiosity.

Integration Coaching

While this category of coaching will inevitably also incorporate some aspects of embodied coaching, the primary focus here is to work with clients who may be:

  • Preparing for transformational or healing work through expanded states. This might include (but is not limited to) working with sacred medicines*, as well as practices such as intensive breathwork, getting ready for a silent meditation retreat, etc.

  • Seeking support for integration of an expanded experience. Many times, proper support is not available for people after a big and expansive experience (which can also mean “difficult”, “confusing”, etc.) ONDO is here to help out with resourcing, as well as offer embodied transformational coaching in periods of heightened neuroplasticity.

  • Getting ready for (and integrating) a somatic sound + ketamine session in a clinical setting with ONDO & Pala Medicine (see below.)

*ONDO (and any affiliates) offers this service to promote healing, safety, education, and harm reduction. We do not provide medicines which may possibly be illegal in your state/country/territory.

Healing Sessions with Ketamine + Vibrational Sound

ONDO has partnered with Pala Medicine to offer clients the powerful healing aspects of holistic sound and vibrational therapy within a physician administered ketamine medicine session.**

Serving the greater Los Angeles area, we provide a safe and legal context to combine, deepen, and take advantage of the synergy between two profound modalities. Ketamine’s powerful psychedelic healing potential is known to play a significant transformative role for many who struggle with issues such as addiction, depression, PTSD, OCD, anxiety, or chronic pain. While ketamine (or any other psychedelic medicine) is not a magic solution on its own, treatment with this medicine can be even more effective in combination with the right kind of Preparation & Integration Coaching (which can be combined with other talk therapy). Adding in the somatic processing of modalities such as vibrational therapy & sound healing can take the work to another level altogether!

ONDO offers Preparation and Integration Coaching for our clients. All ketamine medicine sessions are co-facilitated with Pala Medicine at the clinic in Pasadena.

**Medical screening / intake are mandatory beforehand

ONDO x Pala Medicine Offerings

  • Individual Session

    The individual sessions offer each client a profound and deeply somatic experience of Vibrational Therapy to enhance and potentiate the benefits of ketamine. Though the ketamine session itself is recommended in conjunction with Vibrational Therapy, there is also the option of a recorded music-directed experience (curated by ONDO) if preferred. These two offerings may also be combined for a unique experience. Pala will provide medicine administration and additional support on the day of the journey.

    You’ll receive advance guidance through one or more Preparation Sessions with ONDO, as well as a medical screening with Pala. ONDO will also provide one or more Integration Sessions to continue and support your healing process.

  • Group Session

    Group sessions provide the option for connection and sharing with others in a supportive container and with an expanded sound bath experience. These sessions may include some vibrational offering, however, the entire experience is geared more towards a traditional group sound healing experience, incorporating meditation gongs, sound bowls, tuning forks, and more.

    The sessions include Preparation and Integration Sessions, and also provide a dedicated time before and after the session for community connection. The group setting allows for intention sharing, as well as a sharing circle afterwards to begin your integration process.
