Work With Me

Work With Me

Healing is not one thing.

Sometimes it begins in the body, in chronic pain, tension, or a nervous system that has not known rest in years. Sometimes it begins in your life, in patterns that repeat, wounds that will not close, a life that looks fine from the outside but feels hollow within. Sometimes it begins in the soul, in grief, in transition, in the slow unraveling of everything you thought you believed, in a longing for presence that goes beyond what any program or practice can offer.

Wherever you are entering from, you are welcome here.

Not sure where to start? Ask yourself: is this a body question, a life question, or a soul question? That is usually enough to point the way. And if you are still unsure, reach out.

Life Accompaniment

Walking alongside you toward wholeness, integration, and the life you were made for.

Virtual or in person

When life feels stuck, unaligned, or in transition, this is the work.

This work is for people who are done being fine.

Who have done enough growing to know that the next layer is there and that they can't get to it alone. People navigating a transition, a loss, a long-standing pattern that keeps returning, or simply the quiet exhaustion of living a life that doesn't quite fit. People who have done the therapy, read the books, built the life and still feel like something essential is missing. Like they are living on the surface of themselves.

At its heart, this is life coaching but not the conventional kind. Life Accompaniment draws from the contemplative tradition rather than productivity culture. It is not about optimizing your life or hitting a set of goals, though clarity and direction naturally emerge from the work. It is about going deeper. Meeting what has been avoided. Integrating what has been fragmented. Returning to a life rooted in your truest self.

Drawing from shadow work, inner child and family integration, somatic and bioenergetic awareness, and the wisdom of the contemplative traditions, this is an invitation to go all the way down.

If you have ever sat across from a therapist or coach and felt like the conversation stopped just short of the thing that actually needed saying, this is a different kind of conversation.

This work begins with a conversation. Ready to begin or have questions?

“I am continually astounded by his ability to hold space and guide a man to the deepest parts of himself. Not only does he bring immense healing, but he does so with joy, playfulness, and fun. Definitely don’t work with him if you aren’t ready to be asked the hard questions, told the real truth, and show up as your highest self, because he will expect nothing less.
— Joe Carr, Founder, Serenity Kids

What others have found here:

“He’s helped me gain clarity on what’s important to me, uncover the belief systems and behaviors holding me back, and facilitated the process of unblocking these areas. Guillaume has supported me through divorce, mental illness, and professional progression, and I can honestly say I’m living my best life now as a result.”
— Gareth Rayner, Director IT/IS
“Working with Guillaume has transformed me and my life in ways that other methods — both individual and group psychotherapy — had not. My relationships with my mother and sisters have deepened, and I recently got remarried — something I never thought I would do again.”
— Marcela Alfonsin, M.Ed., L.C.S.W.

Contemplative
Accompaniment

For the questions that are too deep for coaching and too alive for therapy.

Virtual — One-on-one

There are moments in life that cannot be fixed, coached, or therapized. Moments that ask something deeper, a presence that can sit with you in the unknown without rushing toward answers.

Contemplative accompaniment is one of the oldest practices of the inner life. It is not therapy. It is not life coaching. It is a sacred and intentional relationship in which one person helps another notice and respond to the movement of the deeper life within them, what some call God, what others call the soul, what still others experience simply as a pull toward something more real.

Every person arrives at this work differently. Some are new to the inner life and looking for a steady hand. Some have been walking contemplative paths for decades. Some carry a wisdom they cannot yet name, old souls who have always sensed that something deeper was real, long before they had a tradition or a language for it. Some are in crisis, some are in transition, some simply feel a quiet pull they cannot ignore.

Wherever you are arriving from, that is the right place to begin.

Drawing from contemplative Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Sufism, and the interfaith mystical traditions, this is a non-dogmatic space. You do not need to belong to a tradition. You do not need to have the right words or the right beliefs. You only need to be willing to show up honestly.

This is not a destination. It is a companionship for the road.

Somatic Integration Sessions

Bringing the body into the conversation

In person, Austin TX · One-on-one sessions

When insight lives only in the mind, something essential is missing.

You may already be doing the work, sitting with a therapist, building real understanding of your patterns. And yet something remains just out of reach. A tension that does not release. An emotion that lives in the chest before it ever becomes a word. A knowing that has no language yet.

Somatic Integration Sessions are designed for exactly that threshold.

These private, one-on-one sessions offer a guided space to slow down and listen to what the body is already holding. You rest fully clothed on a massage table in a quiet clinical setting. We begin with gentle breathing and a body scan, allowing the nervous system to settle and attention to turn inward. From there, the session follows what is present in your actual experience, and may include guided awareness, reflective inquiry, or a parts-oriented lens.

Nothing is forced. Integration tends to arrive in unhurried space.

This work is especially well-suited for those carrying anxiety, chronic stress, or physical tension connected to emotional patterns, and who are already engaged in therapy or another healing practice. It is not a replacement for mental health care; it is the embodied complement to the insight work you are already doing.

Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture

Whole-person care, rooted in over two thousand years of medicine.

In person, Austin TX · One-on-one sessions

Most people come in asking for acupuncture. What they receive is something larger.

Acupuncture is one branch of a vast and ancient medical system, Traditional Chinese Medicine, that has been refining its understanding of the human body, mind, and spirit for over two thousand years. The needles are real, and they work. But they are one tool within a complete approach to health that addresses the whole person: body, energy, emotion, and the conditions of daily life that shape all of it.

Acupuncture — works by stimulating specific points along the body's meridian pathways, regulating the flow of Qi, the vital energy that underlies all physiological and psychological function. It is precise, deeply effective, and remarkably versatile. Guillaume specializes in chronic pain, mental health, women's health, orthopedic conditions, anxiety, and depression, and brings dry needling alongside classical acupuncture for targeted musculoskeletal work.

But a session here rarely stops at the needles.

Chinese Herbal Medicine & Phytotherapy — one of the most sophisticated botanical traditions in the world, works alongside acupuncture to address root imbalances from the inside. Formulas are prescribed individually, not off a shelf, tailored to your specific pattern.

Moxibustion — uses the gentle heat of burning mugwort to warm and nourish, particularly effective for cold and deficient conditions, chronic fatigue, immune support, and certain gynecological concerns.

Ear Seeds & Auriculotherapy — bring the full map of the body into the ear, offering ongoing support between sessions for pain, anxiety, sleep, and stress regulation.

Diet & Nutritional Guidance — through the lens of Chinese medicine, not a generic eating plan, but an understanding of how specific foods affect your particular constitution, your current imbalance, and your capacity to heal.

Lifestyle & Emotional Alchemy —Chinese medicine has always understood that how you live, how you move, how you rest, and how you relate to your emotions are not separate from your health. They are your health. Sessions often include guidance on sleep, movement, stress, and the emotional patterns that classical medicine has long recognized as both causes and expressions of physical disease.

Functional Medicine Integration — where appropriate, Guillaume bridges Eastern and Western frameworks, helping you make sense of lab work, symptoms, and health history through both lenses.

Every session is one-on-one, unhurried, and tailored entirely to you. Guillaume does not see you as a set of symptoms. He sees you as a whole person whose body is trying to communicate something — and his work is to listen carefully enough to hear it.

One-on-one sessions and packages available.

A NOTE ON WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Western medicine excels at crisis intervention and diagnosis. What it often cannot offer is a framework for understanding why a pattern keeps returning — why the same pain comes back, why the anxiety never fully resolves, why a person can be technically healthy and still feel fundamentally unwell.

Chinese medicine has spent two thousand years developing exactly that framework. It does not treat a symptom in isolation. It looks for the root, the terrain, the pattern beneath the pattern. And it treats the person, not the disease.

That is what Guillaume brings to every session.

Precision Muscle Release

Neuromuscular Acupuncture, Dry Needling & Manual Therapy

In person, Austin TX · One-on-one

Sometimes the body needs direct, hands-on attention. Injuries that never fully healed. Tension that settled in so gradually it began to feel normal. Pain that comes and goes or stopped going. Orthopedic conditions that have been managed but not resolved. Layers of compensation built on top of layers of compensation, until the original problem is buried and the whole system is working harder than it should.

Precision Muscle Release is a clinical bodywork method designed to work through those layers — systematically, from the deepest structures outward — releasing what has been held, restoring what has been lost, and giving the body back its range, its ease, and its capacity to heal.

This is not massage. It is precise, active, clinical work. And you feel the difference immediately.

It is particularly well-suited for chronic and orthopedic pain, post-surgical and post-injury recovery, lingering conditions that other treatments have not fully resolved, and pain that keeps returning without a clear explanation. If you have been told to simply manage your pain, there is another option.

How It Works

The body stores tension in layers. Precision Muscle Release works with that architecture deliberately — beginning at the deepest available layer and working outward toward the surface, integrating each release before moving to the next. This sequencing matters. Releasing superficial tension on top of a locked deeper layer is incomplete work. Going deep first, and progressively releasing outward, is how lasting change happens.

Each session draws from a full toolkit of clinical techniques, selected and combined in real time based on what your body is presenting that day.

The Toolkit

Dry Needling — Trigger Point & Motor Point Therapy
Fine filiform needles are inserted directly into trigger points, the tight, hyperirritable knots within muscle tissue that generate both local pain and referred pain elsewhere in the body. Motor point needling targets the precise neuromuscular junction where the nerve enters the muscle, releasing chronic contraction at its source. The result: immediate reduction in muscle tension, interruption of pain cycles, restored range of motion, and accelerated tissue repair. When combined with electrical stimulation, the effects go deeper still.

Electro-Stimulation (E-Stim)
Low-voltage electrical current is delivered through the needles or surface electrodes to stimulate muscle contraction and release, interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, reduce inflammation, improve local circulation, and accelerate tissue healing. E-stim is particularly effective for chronic and orthopedic pain that has not responded to other treatments, nerve-related conditions, and post-surgical or post-injury recovery. It also supports neuromuscular re-education, helping the nervous system relearn healthy patterns of movement and contraction.

Cupping
Medical-grade suction cups are placed on the skin to create negative pressure, lifting the tissue upward rather than compressing it downward. This decompressive force draws fresh oxygenated blood into stagnant, congested areas; releases fascial restrictions; breaks up adhesions between skin, fascia, and muscle; and pulls inflammatory byproducts to the surface for lymphatic clearance. The result is looser tissue, reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and a noticeable softening of deep chronic tension. The marks cupping leaves behind, often misread as bruising, are simply stagnant blood and inflammation rising to the surface, not tissue damage.

Gua Sha or Scraping (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization - IASTM)
A smooth clinical instrument is used to apply firm, unidirectional strokes across lubricated skin and underlying tissue. This breaks up adhesions within the fascia, releases the superficial and mid-layer muscle, stimulates circulation, and triggers the body's own anti-inflammatory cascade, specifically the upregulation of heme-oxygenase-1, a powerful biochemical response that reduces inflammation, oxidative stress, and pain with effects that last for days following a single session. Research also shows gua sha enhances lymphatic drainage and modulates inflammatory signaling at the cellular level. Where cupping lifts and decompresses, gua sha scrapes and mobilizes; together they address both depth and surface comprehensively.

Percussion Therapy
Rapid, concentrated mechanical pulses are delivered deep into the muscle tissue and fascial sheaths, reaching layers that hands alone cannot access. Percussion therapy breaks up scar tissue, thickened fascia, and adhesions; releases lactic acid and metabolic waste trapped in muscle fibers; stimulates blood flow and lymphatic drainage; reduces delayed-onset muscle soreness; and desensitizes hypersensitive tissue by flooding the nervous system with competing sensory input. The fascial fluid itself becomes more pliable under percussion, allowing freer, more efficient movement. Used strategically within a session, percussion prepares the tissue for deeper work or consolidates the release already achieved.

Manual Therapy
Hands-on joint mobilization, myofascial release, and targeted soft-tissue work to restore mobility, address structural restrictions, and integrate the releases achieved through the other modalities. Manual therapy is the connective layer of the session. The skilled hands that assess, adjust, and confirm that what has been released is integrating into the body's actual movement patterns.

What This Addresses

Precision Muscle Release is particularly effective for:

  • Chronic and lingering pain that has not fully resolved with other treatments

  • Orthopedic conditions: rotator cuff, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, IT band, impingements, tendinopathies

  • Post-surgical and post-injury recovery

  • Neck, shoulder, upper back, lower back, hip, and leg pain

  • Sciatica and nerve-related pain patterns

  • Sports injuries, athletic performance, and recovery

  • Tension and pain connected to chronic stress or nervous system dysregulation

  • Chronic inflammation and tissue congestion

  • Limited range of motion and mobility restrictions

  • Conditions where you've been told to "just manage" the pain, and you are done accepting that

A Note on What to Expect

You will be an active participant. Sessions involve communication throughout — about sensation, tolerance, and what the body is doing in real time. The work is always adapted to where you are that day. Some sessions go deep immediately. Others require more preparation of the surface layers first. Guillaume reads the tissue and follows what it needs.

You will feel the difference when you get off the table.
