Somatic Therapy
The word somatic comes from the Greek soma. In the SomaFlare tradition, soma is understood as both the body and the soul of the body. The living, breathing, feeling vessel that carries everything you have ever experienced. Every joy. Every loss. Every moment your nervous system had to find a way through.
Somatic therapy works directly with that intelligence. Following what the body is already moving toward. Listening to what it has been holding. Creating the conditions for your nervous system to settle, integrate, and heal.
This work supports people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, and life's biggest transitions.
This work asks something of you.
Somatic therapy is a process. The nervous system heals in layers, in its own time, and that time is worth honoring. The clients who experience the deepest transformation are the ones who commit to showing up consistently, even as the layers deepen.
If you are ready for that, this work will meet you there.
What to expect
Every client relationship begins with a 90-minute intake session. Together we explore your history, clarify your goals, and map the road ahead. From that conversation, I create a personalized workbook designed specifically for you. A living document that guides our work together from session one forward. No two clients receive the same workbook. No two sessions look the same.
From the toolbox
Every session draws from a deep well of somatic, Ayurvedic, yogic, and social emotional wisdom, guided by what your body and nervous system are asking for in that moment. We may work with breathwork, meditation and guided visualization, gentle movement and somatic release, mudra and mantra, chakra awareness, sound and vibration, and ritual and ceremony.
Every session follows your body's lead.
This is collaborative, body-led work. I will sit in the boat with you, encourage you, and provide guidance, but you will row, as captain of this ship. Let's take the next step in your wellness journey together!
