A place for permission.
A space for forgiveness.
A way to keep moving.
Offering a supported and intentional
bodywork practice
for balanced, felt embodiment
while you navigate the weather of life and
come back to your self.
I‘m so glad you’re here
Do you experience your body as though it is separate from your sense of self?
Do you feel burdened by chronic pain, tension, or woe?
Do you feel stuck?
At the Center for New Systems,
you are the center
and together, we will work to establish a regular, supportive practice of new systems,
so you can feel and understand your body and emotions as one experience.
And I’m looking forward to working together.
My name is Hannah Elizabeth Bevens, MAT, MFA, LMT, EOLD (they - them - theirs), and I am deeply humbled by this opportunity to steward a path for you that leads towards release, relief, and a clear sense of well being.
I work with all individuals who are seeking therapeutic and integrative bodywork in pursuit of meaningful change for how they feel in the every day.
To support you, I weave together my professional training as a therapeutic bodyworker, educator, artist, and End-Of-Life-Doula to curate a personal practice; a container, offering a space for facilitated deep reflection, exploration, and meaning making. Together, we will address how you feel— physically and emotionally— and through the integration of therapeutic bodywork techniques with authentic expression, it is my goal to help you move sensations of pain, uncertainty, and overwhelm through and out of your body.
It is my goal for you to feel free and thrive.
I also come to this work as a peer— someone who you can feel connected to through the shared understanding of what it means to be sensitive and curious in a world of intense experiences.
Because it has been my experience that the extreme weather of life, while deeply discouraging at times, has shown me lessons from which I garner a sense of meaning to guide me through the world now.
And it is because of my experience that I recognize how difficult it can be to want to heal, and to feel better;
How difficult it can be to believe that the future is a safe place.
It is because of my experience that I recognize your presence, will, and our shared belief that this work matters.
The work of learning to trust one’s self, in body and spirit, matters.
The work of forgiveness.
What I offer…
Sessions can be 60 minutes // 75 minutes // 90 minutes // 120 minutes // 4 hours in duration.
During your session, you and I will first discuss how you are feeling and what you might like to work on. We will address the question:
What do you want to do or feel with your body that you do not currently experience?
The answer to this may simply be, “I want to feel without pain.” Or, it may be, “I want to be able to run again.” It may also be, “I just want to feel; I want to feel like my body is mine.” Your answer can also be, “I want to feel like I did before their death.” These are all real answers, they’re all good answers, and there are no wrong answers.
After some conversation, we will move to the treatment table. During this time, I keep you grounded and integrate deep fascial and energetic release techniques for you to uncover and release stuck patterns. As Dr. Ida Rolf said, we are taking the thorns out.
Once we’re done working on the treatment table, we finish with a reflective conversation and take note of any sensations you or I noticed and how you want to incorporate them into your ongoing care of spatial medicine.
Investment and Agreements…
I price sessions based on a rate of $1.75 per minute, and a sliding scale is available — please do not hesitate to ask if this is something that can support you in receiving necessary therapeutic care. I believe in making therapeutic care accessible.
Payments are made via cash, check, or venmo. Here’s a breakdown of prices per session length:
60 minutes, 105.00 ~ 75 minutes, 130.00 ~ 90 minutes, 155.00 ~ 120 minutes, 210.00 ~ 4 hours, 420.00
In order to schedule a session, you can call // text // email me directly. If texting or emailing, please include your name, if you need a reply by a specific date and time, and how you came to learn about my practice in your message.
Once we schedule your session time, I will be in touch with a confirmation and gentle reminder message.
After your session, I will be in touch again to follow up on how you are feeling and, in case we hadn’t done so already, to schedule your next session.
If you are interested in gifting a session to someone, I offer gift certificates :) Please reach out and I can retrieve the necessary details to mail out a handcrafted card and gift certificate.
Lastly, I very much value the time that goes into this work and practice, on both of our parts. Please note: Appointments that are canceled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours notice will be charged for the entire session. In order to cancel or reschedule, please call or text.
Other ways I offer support…
As an educator, therapeutic bodyworker, and End-Of-Life-Doula, I also offer my time and learned understanding for scheduling embodiment consult as well as death and grief support. This offering is something that weaves its way into the hands-on work, however, I understand that there are individuals who wish to experience embodiment and release in ways that do not require hands-on touch. This was also me at one point in life, and I have deep reverence for those who hold this boundary for themselves. To know one’s own boundaries and maintain them is an act of bravery, and it is often an act that takes great strength during a time less capacity.
If you wish to learn more about this, I welcome you to reach out either via call, text, or email, and we can set up a time for a brief conversation before making a full commitment.
If you feel confident that this kind of consult and support is what you are seeking, and no introductory information is necessary, I also welcome you to contact me via call, text, or email.
When reaching out and leaving a message, or sending a text or email, please leave your name, if you need a reply by a specific date and time, and what kind of consult you are seeking.
I schedule this kind of support by the hour, and ask for an investment of $45.00 per hour. As with my hands-on work, I do offer sliding scale for this supportive offering, though there are no cancellation policies. In the case of cancellation, I simply ask that you reach out to let me know as soon as possible.
An important note:
I am trained and skilled in many ways, and humbled by the opportunity to share what I have learned throughout that education and my own experiences with you. It is my hope that I can help you find an opening, a space, or a shift so that you can feel empowered and grow your capacity in the wake of life’s extreme weather. However, it is not within my scope of practice to offer psychological or medical analysis, advice, diagnosis, or treatment. What I offer is supportive connection, deep listening, and advocacy.
Here is a list of only some experiences this support may help with:
If you are seeking a Death Doula for end-of-life care after a terminal diagnosis or during the active dying phase.
If you are seeking grief support in the wake of a loss — this is applicable to both “little-d” and “big-D” deaths.
If you are seeking guidance or assistance in the carrying out of spiritual, sacred, or energetic rituals and practices.
If you are seeking support in reclaiming your sense of self.
If you are seeking a neutral person to connect with as you come to understand yourself in spirit, mind, and body.
If you are seeking a personal advocate, for grounding comfort and reflection.
I look forward to hearing from you ~
With warmth and humble gratitude,
H
