Welcome to
The Boom Room
A live response practice space for when your clients know what they want to say, but can't access it under pressure.
See what your client will actually experience inside The Boom Room.
The Boom Room utilizes bespoke simulations with professional actors to give clients a place to practice how they communicate when the pressure is on.
Each session is facilitated by an experienced professional with expertise in communication, interpersonal dynamics, and high-pressure conversations.
Why refer a client?Your client may understand what they do under pressure, and even why they do it.
They may know why they freeze, over-explain, people-please, avoid conflict, or struggle to hold a boundary.
But knowing what you want to do and being able to do it when the stakes are real are different things.
The Boom Room gives clients a place to practice that gap—and stay with themselves through the discomfort.
How a Live Online Session Works
15 minutes
The facilitator helps the client arrive in their body, identify what they're practicing, and prepare for the encounter.
Prepare
01
45 minutes
A professional actor enters a bespoke, unscripted scenario built around the client's real-life communication challenge.
The facilitator watches off-camera, adjusting the pressure, directing the actor, and stepping in to coach or check in when needed.
Enter The Room
02
30 minutes
The facilitator helps the client release the intensity, reflect on what happened, and identify what they discovered about themselves in the encounter.
The goal is to discover what happens in you when the pressure is on, and practice having more choice in that moment.
Come Back Down

“[The Boom Room] has given me a great sense of confidence in terms of how much power I hold in a conversation. Whether I exert them or not, I have so many options available to me. I felt reminded that I owe nothing to others.”
Toni, Toronto—Artistic Producer
What makes it different from role-play?The client isn't handed a script and asked to perform a difficult conversation.
We build an immersive scenario around their real situation and have a professional actor respond in real time.
The client doesn't know exactly what the actor will say or do, and the actor doesn't know exactly what the client will do.
That unpredictability creates an opportunity to practice responding in the moment instead of simply rehearsing what to say.
Carli, Chico—Kinesiology Professor
“The simulation was practice for a real life zoom call I had the next day. It is exactly what I deal with in my job.
From our initial warm up to the time in the scenarios with the actors I was blown away.”
How Do We Maintain Safety?
Facilitators are credentialed clinicians. The encounter is designed to create enough pressure for patterns to emerge in real time. That pressure is intentional and actively controlled by the facilitator.
They can:
increase or decrease the actor's pressure
direct the actor's approach
pause or end the encounter
coach or check in with the client in real time
The client also has a predetermined stop word they can use at any time.
The session begins with preparation and grounding and ends with time to come down, reflect, and integrate.
“I felt a lot more emboldened to defend myself and my rights... I am not to be fucked with.”
Jessica, Toronto— Media Arts Professional
“The whole program is cohesive. I was surprised how immersed I became.”
Ben, Los Angeles— Director Of Photography
Who is this for?The Boom Room may be useful for clients who...
know what they want to say but struggle to say it under pressure
repeatedly avoid difficult conversations or struggle to hold boundaries
people-please, over-explain, freeze, or shut down when challenged
replay conversations afterward and wish they'd responded differently
are preparing for a specific high-stakes conversation
want to practice being more direct, visible, or embodied in relationships or professional settings
The work can be especially useful when a client has already developed insight but wants an opportunity to practice a different response in real time.

One session can stand alone. Clients can also choose three progressive sessions, with the level of challenge increasing over time.
Where does The Boom Room fits alongside therapy?
The Boom Room is not therapy or counseling.
It is a practice environment that can complement therapeutic work by giving clients an opportunity to experiment with communication patterns in a live, facilitated simulation.
The client's therapist remains their therapist. The Boom Room does not provide ongoing treatment or build a separate therapeutic relationship with the client. Facilitators do not take on referred clients as therapy clients. Facilitators operate under a strict non-compete with the clients they work with
With the client's permission, facilitator observations from the practice are shared with the therapist, giving them another window into how the client responds under pressure and something concrete to continue exploring together.
Jessie, Washington— Senior Program Manager
“This gave me grounding for a difficult conversation with a team member who is not meeting expectations. Both to give me confidence in holding space for difficult emotions and to not mitigate them with unearned smiles.”
Not role-play. Not AI.
The experience is live, unscripted, and responsive to the client in front of the actor.
The actor can interrupt, misunderstand, push back, get emotional, change direction, and respond to the client's choices.
Help Them Overcome The Moments That Hold Them Back In A Safe Container
SINGLE SESSION
$455 USD
90 Minutes
One encounter, built around their real-life needs.
A focused opportunity to practice a specific conversation, pattern, or response under pressure.
3 PROGRESSIVE SESSIONS
$1355 USD
Three 90-Minute Sessions
Designed to build on what emerges in the first session, clients work with a different actor each time, creating new opportunities to practice and build responses under pressure.
Progressive sessions are typically spaced a few weeks apart, over a few months — complementary to your ongoing work with the client.
Clients work with the same facilitator across all sessions in a progressive series, so the practice builds on a relationship of trust, not a new stranger each time.
Miriam, Munich— Accounts Manager
“I had to tell my colleague I was uncomfortable with a decision he had made. I was very confident in these moments... It felt like a weight off my chest. Once I had those tools, my confidence truly grew.”
Have someone in mind who might benefit from live response practice?
They'll complete a short form with their contact information and let us know that you've referred them. A Boom Room team member will then contact them and guide them through the next steps.
With the client's permission, you can identify a specific communication challenge you'd like them to practice.
