Coaching
For people ready to come back to the body — out of old judgment (religious, perfectionist, or otherwise), a nervous system that's been on high alert, or just the exhaustion of holding it together. Grounded, embodied work — tools like sound and breath, held with steady presence, at your pace.
presence over performance
Start here
Not sure which of these is right for you? That's normal — most people arrive somewhere between "I'd like a session" and "I'm curious about something deeper." The best first step is a free 15-minute conversation: we'll talk through what you're looking for and find the fit together. No pressure, no commitment.
The Intro Session
For new clients. Two ways to begin, depending on what you're reaching for:
In-person — 90 minutes — $125
Sixty minutes of 1:1 vibrational sound, thirty in conversation — the two main pillars of this work, in one first visit. A chance to arrive in the space, feel it in your body, and talk through what comes next. Highland Park studio (or your home, travel fee applies)
By Zoom — 60 minutes — $100
A full coaching conversation — no sound work, since that needs a body in the room — for wherever you are. The right start if travel isn't realistic, or if beginning with conversation alone feels right to you. Relational coaching only
Single Coaching Session — 60 minutes — $175 Zoom or in-person (Highland Park studio or your home, travel fee applies)
For returning clients, or anyone who wants a single coaching conversation without stepping into a full Cycle. No cycle commitment needed.
Looking for a single sound session or a couples experience with no ongoing commitment — or a group sound bath for your home, studio, or team? Those live at Somatic Sound Sessions.
Coaching Cycles
Longer-form containers for embodied change — Typically 4 to 12 sessions
Lasting change rarely happens in one sitting. Cycles weave somatic inquiry, relational support, and vibrational sound over time — in-person in Los Angeles, or by Zoom — typically four to twelve sessions, not a fixed program but shaped together as you go. $150 per session, however many the work calls for — sliding scale available for both cycles.
Embodied Listening Cycle
For stress, transitions, and emotional processing — a chance to listen more closely to what your body has been trying to say. Change here tends to happen gradually, through listening rather than effort.
Embodied Integration Cycle
Psychedelic preparation and integration, grounded in sound, body, and relationship. Insight is what you bring home from an experience like this; integration is what turns it into a different way of living, without forcing meaning or outcomes. We build the pacing and containment beforehand, and the support to help what opened stay open, after. For those ready to go further — including the medicine experience itself — see Sound + Medicine, below.

Sound + Medicine
The full arc — preparation, experience, integration
Continuing from the Embodied Integration Cycle above: for those ready for the complete supported arc through ONDO's own clinical partners — preparation sessions, the medicine experience itself (held with live vibrational sound, co-facilitated by Shane and a licensed clinical partner), and integration sessions afterward to help what opened settle into daily life.
Offered with partners such as Pala Medicine Ketamine Clinic (Pasadena) — physician-administered; medical screening/intake with the clinical provider is required first. Other medicines are available through additional collaborators, some out of state — ask on your discovery call.

Preparation and integration coaching stands on its own — whether or not I'm your facilitator, and whatever the setting: clinic, retreat, or ceremony. Insight alone doesn't create change; it needs time, support, and a body that's been given somewhere to land.
The Embodied Integration Cycle above is built exactly for this.
Why timing matters: neuroplasticity + integration
After a transformative experience—whether it’s a retreat, ceremony, psychedelic-assisted therapy, breathwork, or a ketamine & vibrational sound session with ONDO x Pala Medicine—there is often a gap between what was felt and how life is actually lived.
Integration support helps bridge that space.
This work recognizes that:
Insight alone doesn’t create change — experiences need time, support, and relational holding to settle into the body and nervous system
Certain experiences may open windows of neuroplasticity, when the brain is especially receptive to learning and re-patterning (as suggested by research from Dr. Gül Dölen and others)
Support during these windows can help stabilize new patterns, supporting how shifts take root in daily life rather than fading or becoming overwhelming
Integration is not about forcing outcomes, but about gently translating experience into lived, embodied change over time
The Embodied Integration Cycle is designed to offer paced, relational support during this sensitive period—so experiences can be metabolized, integrated, and carried forward with care.
Reflections from clients who worked with ONDO Coaching
-
I felt completely safe, supported, and seen... held in a space that was both protective and profoundly present. Shane has a rare gift for creating a container that allows for deep emotional work to unfold naturally. The experience stayed with me and, in an unexpected way, helped prepare me for one of the most challenging times in my life. His approach, presence, and energy as a person are gorgeous — his work is heart centered, flowing, grounded, uplifting and lasting.

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.
