Stress Coaching

An Ancient Science

These days we are a more stressed society than ever. Disconnected, neurotic, fatigued, overwhelmed, lost, stuck in ruts and habits that no longer serve. 


Stress is essential to our life, much like water and food.. but just like with food and water, it is about the appropriate amount at the appropriate time.. too much or too little and problems arise. 


Our relationship with stress, when functional, can help us achieve all of our lives potential and desired goals. When our relationship with stress is dysfunctional, we are left crippled in all areas of life. Often we create a variety of coping mechanisms in an attempt to regulate this stress..most only serve us for a short period, if at all. 


Let’s work together to improve your relationship with stress. Whether that means techniques for de-stressing, or techniques for bolstering functional stress in certain areas of our Lives that may be hindering us.. I’ve got the tools to help get you back on track. 


Drawing from ancient Yogic practices and modern Nervous System regulation strategies as well as Life Coaching techniques 


$150/session.Approximately 90 minutes.

Meet Derrick

Welcome to Grounded Therapeutics – where healing begins from within. I’m Derrick, the Founder of Grounded Therapeutics. Over the past 20 years, I’ve walked the path of self-discovery and holistic healing, learning that true transformation begins when we listen to our bodies and honor the emotions hidden within.  

 

My journey started with a passion for helping others, and through years of dedication and training, I discovered the profound, transformative power of somatic bodywork: unlocking and accessing the layers of our inner world.  What began as a personal journey soon became a mission to ignite that spark in others, guiding them to unlock their emotional states and foster profound healing. I’ve trained in a variety of healing modalities, from Restorative and Neuromuscular Massage to Myofascial Active and Passive Release. I am also a Physical Therapist Assistant, a 500-hour certified Yoga Instructor with diverse Eastern practice training, and a Somatic Coach focused on emotional regulation. Each of these experiences has shown me that no two people are the same, and healing is never a one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why I blend these tools together, creating a personalized, holistic plan for each person who steps through my door. 

 

Throughout my career, I’ve seen how the body holds onto past traumas, stress, and unprocessed emotions – sometimes without us even realizing we’ve ignored, blocked, over-activated, or avoided them. By integrating a unique combination of bodywork, somatic experiential practices, functional movement, ancient nervous system regulation traditions, and modern emotional processing techniques, I help clients unlock these blockages, giving them the ability to process emotions and memories that may have been stuck or hidden deep within.

 

I’ve witnessed countless individuals experience moments of deep clarity, emotional release, and empowerment when they give themselves the space to heal from the inside out. Together, we’ll explore how your body and mind communicate so you can access and process emotions in a safe and supportive environment. Each session is an opportunity to release what no longer serves you and move closer to the healthiest, most balanced version of yourself. Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, enhance mental resilience, or release emotional baggage, I’m here to guide you with a tailored approach that honors your unique needs.  

 

Stress and tension manifest differently for everyone. Some days, you may need deep tissue massage to relieve tight muscles; other times, a more subtle energetic approach may bring the shift you’re seeking. Some clients come seeking to bolster life skills, while others may need to cultivate strength and resilience in their mental, physical, or emotional realms. 

 

At Grounded Therapeutics, our core principle – and the most important aspect of our work – is the connection with you, our client. When we prioritize this relationship, we can facilitate deeper healing and transformation. By blending Eastern and Western practices, we create a holistic experience that is both effective and nurturing, empowering you on every level.  

 

Healing isn’t just about addressing physical pain; it’s about creating lasting change across every facet of your being. It is my honor to offer a variety of therapeutic tools, allowing you to find the healing you seek without the need to consult multiple practitioners. So, if you’re ready to embark on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and transformation, it would be my privilege to walk beside you every step of the way.  

 

Let’s uncover the vibrant, resilient version of yourself that’s waiting to emerge. I look forward to supporting you on your path to wellness!

“We suffer when our mind and bodies make permanent that which was meant for impermanence”

Derrick is one of a kind! He listens to whatever's ailing me and is able to breakdown the many causes of those problems. He is an amazing therapist and has an array of magical tools that he intuitively knows how to use!

Sabrina M

Derrick is insane! I went to him with a stiff neck that wouldn't let me turn to the right. He worked my neck like I figured but then he was working other areas that i didnt know were even hurting and i felt twitching and stuff going from my neck to my lower back.. I left being able to turn both directions without pain!!!

Daniel T

The massage was phenomenal. I am also a massage therapist and it was one of the best massages I have received. Very professional!

Sveta B
