Silence & Stillness
Within
10+ years of somatic, energetic,
& spiritual direction
Step into quiet. Ahhhh.
There is a place inside of you that is silent, still, peaceful, & grounded.
I can guide you there.
This a a transmission of silence, stillness, and peace. I do not have an easy title to describe my work, but this is what I do.
“I immediately felt safe and very open with Evangeline--like there's room for everything.”
~ SAN FRANCISCO
“Evangeline, the depth of your openness to truth is almost unbearable. Your words, everyone of them, resonate like bells in my being.”
~ ITHACA
“I got more out of one session than than I did out of two years of therapy.”
~ ITHACA
I use breath, somatic awareness, and nervous system co-regulation to guide clients into the direct experience of stillness, silence, vastness, and nurture deep within their being.
This place is often spoken of, but rarely directly experienced.
The difference between discussing the depth of your being and experiencing it is as vast as thinking about a glass of water versus drinking one. for over a decade I have facilitated actual state changes in the people who work with me.
Quiet. Peace. Nurture. Well-Being. Spaciousness.
These are all just words,
until you experience them within yourself.

“When I first got on the call I thought ‘Oh my God what is this?’ I have been looking for this for years and I didn’t even know it.”
~ GEORGIA
“It was nothing and catacysmic at the same time…for the first time I SAW the s*** coming out of them when the talked to me, and I DIDN’T ABSORB IT.”

Emotional Regulation.
Less Reactivity.
Neuroplasticity.
Adult Presence.
These are all just longed-for atributes, until they aren’t.
I work with individual clients in 1-hour sessions. The protocal is simple. First we center and ground somatically within the moment and the physical location. Then, using breath and gently guided meditation we slowly drop into a deeper state of conciousness. I travel right alongside the client. As we move deeper into their energetic and somatic experience I co-regulate with the client, lending my steady access to silence to help them open to these deeper states.
From here the session can branch in several directions, depending on what is ready to access within the client.
Sometimes a profound and direct experience of silence, stillness or peace natually opens up. If that is the case we spend time stabalizing there and steeping in this transformative place. Other times we may spend the entire session truly grounding the nervous system into a regulated state. In yet another session we may encounter inner children, protectors, and any myriad of coping mechanisims that are ready to be held and listened to. In still another session we may practice dropping down into the depth of stillness, and from there begin to be with rage, fear, or sadness in a way that heals rather than compounds it.
My practice is firmly rooted in the lineage of Adyashanti, over a decade of meditation devoted to the quiet within, and 10 years as a Certified Facilitator of The Work Of Byron Katie.
‘This is the first time I have ever realized how hard it was for me when I was 18. I never got that until just now.’

“Her presence is powerful yet gentle. It made me more present and able to share things that I have hid from myself and people. Through her compassion and trustworthiness, I was able to work through an issue that left me crippled in fear.”
~ SARE
'I have never been able to look at that darkness and sit with it before today.'
~ SWEDEN
Grow a
Grounded Adult Presence.
The capacity to return to emotional & nervous system regulation unconditioned on the external circumstances. The capacity to live life from the open, peaceful ground of your being.
Clients trust me weekly for years at a time (with retentions rates averageing four to six years, and some exceeding eight) because the transformative depth of stillness, peace, and well-being we access together cannot be overstated.
This level of longevity is truly rare in the field, serving as a testament to the work itself: an ever increasing capacity to return to a Grounded Adult Presence does not end nor stagnate, but continously expands and unfolds to meet clients’ ongoing evolution and daily life.
Unlike a title or a status, the Adult Presence cannot be taken away. It is the steady ground you take with you into every room, every conversation, and every silence. It is the only thing you truly own. This is gold. This is the real wealth you pass to your children and grandchildren. This is the spiritual gold that gets woven into the very epigenetics of a lineage and yields true riches.
“Her presence is powerful yet gentle. It made me more present and able to share things that I have hid from myself and people. Through her compassion and trustworthiness, I was able to work through an issue that left me crippled in fear.”

“The time with Evangeline was spent going deep into thoughts and traumas that have haunted me for most of my life. In that time and space, I was able to say things out loud that I’ve never been able to speak about with anyone. The compassion she had towards my innermost deep, dark secrets was unparalleled. The weight I felt lifted off my shoulders after each session provided me with a sense of ease & lightness.”
