Hi, my name is Rochel Spangenthal

If you're craving freedom from that which is holding you back and a deep return to your body, your voice, and your truth – this space was made for you. 

I’m a Columbia-educated Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Somatic Coach, and Breathwork Facilitator based in Brooklyn, NY.

Like many of us, you might be living a life that looks successful on the outside, yet feels stuck, anxiety-filled, or simply less vibrant than you know it could be. You have a longing for deepened joy, connection, and groundedness, but have felt unsupported by Western medicine and standardized therapies.

If you are tired of coping and ready to become your next iteration of self, you’re in the right place.

You’ll find no ‘symptom-management’ here. My holistic, trauma-informed approach weaves together evidence-based psychiatry, somatic embodiment, and soul-work to unlock your innate healing capacity. Together, we’ll explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit, and unlock deepened capacity to engage in full, expansive living.
