Coaching

There are two primary kinds of coaching sessions that ONDO offers to enhance your healing journey. Both use an interactive, client-centered approach. Most types of sessions can be held in the comfort of your own home via Zoom, (typically 60 minute sessions) and 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, 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.

∞ Prep & 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:

  • Getting ready for and / or integrating a somatic sound + ketamine session in a clinical setting with ONDO & Pala Medicine.

  • Preparing for any transformational or healing work through expanded states. This might include (but is not limited to) working with sacred medicines* via P.A.T. (Psychedelic Assisted Therapy) or other (i.e. spiritual or self-discovery) intentions, as well as practices such as intensive breathwork, getting ready for a silent meditation retreat, etc.

  • Seeking support for integration or processing of an experience. Many times, proper 1:1 support is not available for people after “big” or “expansive” experiences (which can also mean “difficult”, “confusing”, etc.) ONDO is here to help out with resourcing, as well as offer embodied & transformational coaching during periods of heightened neuroplasticity.

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

Client Testimonials

  • Shane’s gentle guidance helped me sense and release emotions that had been stuck in my body. My integration with Shane continues, and most notable changes I have embodied are no longer needing alcohol to numb emotions, enjoying using my voice and feeling emotions with my heart. I only wish I had found this healing experience sooner. Thank you Shane!

  • Shane is a wonderfully caring, safe, and skilled coach. This process noticeably increased my capacity to be gentle and patient with myself, and to return more and more frequently to a feeling of self love and trust. I worked through some sensitive issues and didn’t feel judged even for a moment. I highly recommend working with him; you are in excellent hands.

  • Shane, I want to tell you how grateful I am for your support and thoughtful facilitation. I felt safe with you and you were very attentive throughout the entire process. Your openness to receiving feedback allowed me to have a powerful and meaningful experience. Thank you for doing this life changing work.

    — P. Lennon, PhD., 78

  • In my eyes Shane was meant to be doing this work. My experience was better than I could have ever imagined. The attention to detail from the cozy set up, to the sound and the experience as a whole was stellar. Shane makes sure his presence is known but gives you the space you need at the same time. The integration coaching Shane offers is helping me so much in my day to day life.

    — Maggie, 36

  • It was a transformative, serene, therapeutic, and at times blissful experience, full of soulful insights and awareness. I gained a lot of insight about my life purpose and received many reminders about how I’m allowing myself to be held back by attachment, conditioning and fear. I learned that many of the blocks in my life were self-created through limiting beliefs and habitual thoughts and I was able to shatter those blocks by reclaiming my power. Although my life has not changed on the outside, how I view the world and my inner world has changed dramatically.

    — C.Y., 56

  • Shane’s guidance was truly exceptional—his presence created a space where I felt completely safe and supported, allowing me to explore my mind, heart, and being with ease. His wisdom and care removed obstacles before they could arise, making the process one of true openness and discovery.
