I offer a comprehensive approach to personal renewal by blending somatic based modalities, ie. bodywork, breath work, guided meditation, conventional health coaching methods, and a focus on the sacred. This holistic approach recognizes the internal relationship between our mental, physical, and emotional selves and with the natural world. 

As a species, we become more aware of our body’s and mind's responses to triggers. By recognizing and understanding these reactions, we can break free from impulsive survival patterns and make empowering choices that align with our values.  We gain the power to navigate life with greater self-understanding

Our sessions strengthen the skill of being fully present in each moment, fostering emotional resilience and gaining balance by integrating somatic, mindfulness, and compassion-based approaches to challenges.

I provide a space for curious and lighthearted exploration of our complex human experience.

In short, the seeker, the high performer, and the student.

My practice weaves together threads of human growth into a framework of transformation. I draw on my modalities of energy healing, personal advancement methodologies, and sacred traditions to help you reaffirm your vitality, and realize your highest potential.

I invite your attentiveness to meet these stated goals, and to be available to make longer-term commitments to them.

I believe in the power of our natural human instinct. Through the combination of our assessment call and your thoughtful replies on the intake form, we will create a care plan that is a living document adjusting to your needs.

Quantum rejuvenation via multiple modalities can be a life-changing and meaningful journey. It not only requires courage and an open mind—it also requires an investment of time, energy, and finances. 

This is also true of your provider, as my preparation includes decades of training, a resolve to be a pure container for your present needs, and my custody of your health - treating it as seriously as my own. 

Many people find this meeting of our mutual investments to be extraordinarily worthwhile.  

Kindly read the website pages on my bio and CV for an expanded history.

The COHERENCE Subscription automates personal renewal and weaves-in a retreat experience into daily life. It appropriate for returning clients.

Five COHERENCE experiences are provided in one calendar year for a 25% discount.

Coherence is paid for at time of booking. The scheduling tool accepts major credit cards, ApplePay/GooglePay, and (some) Flex Spending/Health Spending Accounts (FSA/HSA) cards.  

If you have specific payment method preferences or if you are purchasing or redeeming a gift certificate, please contact me.

If you experience technical difficulties, please call or text 707-287-0483, or email hello@robertkaywin.health for assistance.

Out of respect for the space my practice has held for you, if you must reschedule your appointment my terms are:

Full refunds are allowed within 30 days of appointment.

Practice credit is allowed within 15 days of appointment.

In case of an emergency, at my discretion I will consider practice credit to be used within 6 months of the original booking date.

A gratuity is never expected. If you were pleased with the experience, a 20% tip is a “healing arts” standard. I encourage clients to consider the COHERENCE Subscription as the highest compliment to my practice.

Each month I offer a Community Day where individual services are discounted according to a prior one-to-one agreement we make. I am unable to provide COHERENCE in this manner.   

The duration of my practice is a testament to the transparency and connections that both I and my clients honor. It is a custom fit, and not a transactional relationship. 

On our call (aka consultation), I’ll ask what's bringing you to seek healing at this time, and your past experience with the modalities I offer.

Then feel free to ask about COHERENCE, logistics, and about my training. It can be helpful to jot down a shortlist of your main thoughts and questions before we talk.  

Our call will be informative, a time-saver in the long run, it smooths your way to complete your comprehensive intake form, and sets-us up for success.

In advance kindly read website pages on my practice, bio and CV, and these FAQ’s. 

For supplemental modalities of Health Coaching and Integration Therapy, and secondary offerings: Music Circles and Vocal Empowerment, Embodied Movement, Expressive Creativity, Meditation Walks and Wilderness Altars, can be provided online. 

We use Zoom for in-place sessions, and FaceTime for sessions where I accompany you walking or in-motion. Fees for virtual sessions are the same

I request that you provide a quiet location, adequate lighting, and a tech check to confirm your systems are ready. I have limited flexibility to change formats of our sessions, so please book the type of session you anticipate being able to keep.

Yes. Please discuss your current medications and diagnosis with me. 

I am additionally trained in working with oncology patients and late-life/end-of-life patients.

Yes, with a few exceptions. The only reason I would break confidentiality is for your safety. We will discuss this in our first session. My studio values your privacy and is informally HIPAA Compliant (as I am not a medical provider).

My practice invites the myriad of ways that bodies are non-conforming: weight, culture, subculture, gender or sexual identity, age, color, ability, and more. Many people have been kept out of healing practices due to barriers and prejudice of all types - these barriers do not exist in my studio. All are welcome here.

+ Routine conversation is welcome, and deeper communication is factored into the length of a session.  Kindly respect the time and energy I allot to our work, and that I may not have more of either to share before we begin or after we conclude.

+ All work I perform is strictly professional. At no time is sexual contact or innuendo tolerated in or outside of my studio. I retain the right to refuse services or end the session at any time without a refund due to client behavior.

+ I welcome warm referrals, and ask that they are first directed to my website which provides a practice-overview, which allows potential clients to make an educated guess about their alignment with my studio. 

You are willing to experiment with new ideas and behaviors inside (and outside) sessions; and open to the modalities I work with.

You take the tools and learnings from our sessions and try them out during the rest of your week. Healing is a lot like working out with a personal trainer at a gym. In that sense, to really reap the benefits of our work, it’s important to practice it in the real world consistently. Then we can check in when you come to session, celebrate any victories and tend to any disappointments, and talk about the arc of your care.

You use our sessions as a “laboratory” of sorts to experiment with new behaviors, as well as how you show up in your relationships. 

The dynamic between a healer and client is different in that it’s both professional as well as uniquely intimate. My studio is a space where you can show up as your authentic self (or even explore who that is if you’re not sure) without judgment. You can use the “lab” of the healing work to experiment with saying what’s challenging, vulnerable, or real for you in the moment.

Due to its more complex and thorough nature, transformative healing is generally a longer process. As a depth-oriented healer focused on ethical practice and client empowerment, our work always has a “North Star”—that is, a general aim, goal(s), or direction. It can require time for a client to have a sense of safety that enables the healing work to go to a deeper level.

This work is best done through ongoing sessions, with three months as a standard. When sessions drop off they become more about “catching up,” which can make it more difficult to uncover lasting results. I find clients see more benefit from our work when they have a standing commitment to themselves and their healing.

I am happy to recommend books, articles, podcasts, etc., for self-study outside our sessions, as well as encourage you to integrate the session learnings in your life. 

I avoid the term “homework” because it implies that I am in a position of authority or power over you.  I empower you to be the expert on your life and the author of your experience. I find ways to support accountability and development other than assuming the role of the teacher assigning homework.

Please visit my Resources page for a curated, growing list of recommended content.

Retreat participants are fresh clients, receiving guided-healing in their community or environment. Some are new to my practice but I am not new to my care protocol - which is extremely present-focused, Source-driven and rooted in abundance. My ability to privately serve individual clients is undiminished as my studio itself expands. I invite you to be enthusiastic about my growing opportunities as I bring new features and teachings into our work. 

For bodywork you only need to take off only as much clothing as you’re comfortable removing. I give you privacy while you undress. During the massage, I use a sheet or towel to drape the parts of your body that are not being massaged.  Please always advise me of anything that you would like to be changed. 

For Water Release Therapy, a water bottle, swimsuit and robe, and a change of clothes if you like for post-session conversation. I will provide all of the necessary equipment and additional towels if need be.

It is best not to eat for at least 90 minutes before your massage treatment and only a light meal at that time. The digestion process directs the blood flow away from your peripheral tissues and concentrates it on the digestive tract. Massage draws the blood flow to the area tissues being worked on, therefore drawing the blood away from the digestive tract causing poor digestion and possible discomfort.

Yes. It is best not to imbibe before your treatment. You may feel more "relaxed", but alcohol or other substances can dampen your body's ability to sense discomfort which can decrease your ability to alert me to an appropriate technique or level of pressure or awareness of your body in water. Alcohol can also dehydrate your tissues causing potential injury or increasing any soreness post-massage treatment. Thank you in advance for your discretion in this matter.

Massage does not need to be painful to be effective. Correcting a soft tissue problem (such as adhesions, tight attachments, and trigger points) can cause some discomfort, but it depends on each individual persons comfort level with pressure and how their body responds to pressure.

Open communication with your Massage Therapist is key to a massage that will be tailored to meet your needs. There are various forms of massage and techniques that can be utilized, many of which do not hurt at all and are quite soothing. If you have an injury or chronically tight or painful areas, please be sure that your therapist is aware of it before the start of the session.   

Fibromyalgia or chronic pain? Do not worry, a range of pressure and trigger point techniques will help relax your muscles and release endorphins in order to help you better manage pain.

Medical injuries or deep muscle tension? Slow, steady massage helps to open the muscle tissue and allow deeper access to the problem areas or adhesions that affect your health. Access to these deeper muscles allows for improved range of motion and decreased pain. There is a massage technique that will benefit you regardless of your condition. 

Falling asleep during a massage is not uncommon; Many people are often stressed or tired and feel relaxed that they fall asleep. More important is the fact that sleep sets your body into a natural state of relaxation in which your massage will be more beneficial physically. Sleep if you like, it will only help.

Before your massage begins, please let your therapist know if you are ticklish. Usually firm, slow pressure (and possibly avoiding certain spots) can keep you from feeling ticklish during a massage.

Although some people prefer to talk throughout the massage, please do not feel like you have to make conversation with your Massage Therapist unless you would like to. You are receiving healthcare and wellness treatment - many people close their eyes and try to relax. Your massage therapist should take the cue from you.
