In a typical session we begin with an arrival process, giving you time to ground into the present moment after the drive here. We may do a short guided meditation or body scan to sense into what is present in the body for you in the moment.

From here we will have a short check in about what has been coming up lately, and if there is anything you were hoping to explore.

Sessions could include several different modalities, depending on need:

Transformative Touch, passive hands on body awareness work on massage table
Inner Sensing, a Taoist approach to interoception and reflection.
Dream work; Active Imagining, a Jungian tool
Co-regulation, relational presence to foster safety
Inner parts work, relating to “parts” with outdated or unhelpful beliefs
Movement or Breathwork, engaging in helpful activation to move stuck charges
Alchemical Acu-points, using flower essences or essential oils on specific “spirit” points in the body to help aid in the movement of energy
Educational Nuggets, giving you the science behind the sensations.
Nutrition and Somatics, recieving messages in cravings and exploring nutritional needs

The pace is always unique to you and your body’s needs. Some sessions are reflective and some are more expressive, but in all we are learning to honor what’s really needed.

Sessions are collaborative, experiential, and non-judgmental explorations.

Each somatic therapy journey will look different, but often in the beginning we are cultivating safety and connection and then gently move into more activated places. In the beginning we tend to talk more.

I am not. I am a certified somatic therapist, which is different. I do not pathologize, prescribe, or diagnose.

As a somatic therapist I teach you about the nervous system, and help you understand yourself from a perspective that is commonly bypassed and overlooked.

I see my role as a somatic therapist to be more of a guide and facilitator, someone that holds the space for you to access your body’s wisdom and intuition, reflect back what I am hearing, and share some neuroscience nuggets along the way.

In traditional therapy you can expect to talk about what’s going on, get into the past with story and narrative.

In somatic therapy we are taking what you “know” intellectually about your issues and learning how to re-wire and re-pattern the brains experience of them into personal bits of wisdom for you to get out of the loops and ways of thinking that keep you in a victimized role. You will learn how to apply what you know intellectually into real lived wisdom and ease.

Since the body has carried you through your whole life, it remembers everything that has happened to you. Sometimes in talk therapy we go to uncovering parts of our story in hopes of finding answers to our suffering, but for some that can be difficult to remember, and sometimes re-traumatizing. In somatic sessions we encounter the story through the way the body feels it, and learn to allow the felt experience to teach us more about what is happening with us and how to resolve it. Physically and mentally.

Anybody! Somatic therapy is for anyone that feels called to process their life through their body.

This work is for anyone seeking to integrate whole body emotional wellbeing into their life.

I work with people from all walks of life! Activists, artists, teachers, healers, leaders, parents, elders, workers in all fields.

for many it’s a self-care ritual that energizes them to continue doing their work in this world

Because this deep, transformational work is most effective with a certain degree of consistency and commitment, I mainly work with folks who are able to meet weekly or every other week.
