Somatic Therapy in Asheville, NC
with Michele Torino Hower
Stumbling into language that comes directly from embodiment encourages change from old ways of speaking.
— Janet Adler
Your body is a reliable structure to inhabit and it has information for you about what is and what is not in alignment with your whole self.
If you want access to deeper wisdom and clarity as well as more options for how to move in the world, Somatic Therapy may be a path that helps you get there.
In Somatic Therapy, you access your body’s intelligence to help you process the content of your life. Most of us process life through the mind. And, most of us have the experience of getting stuck in a mental loop where our cognitive sorting does not yield satisfying results. Here, it can be useful to let the body speak and to listen to the wisdom it has to share.
Somatic Therapy is a space to listen to the information your body has for you. Posing questions to the body opens up access to more information. As your Somatic Therapist, I act as your guide into this new terrain and help you translate the information your body has for you.
People who work with me want a more embodied experience of therapy to help unstick patterns that are no longer serving them. I offer both tender and sturdy support for your unfolding process of meeting your whole Self honestly and whole-heartedly.
I practice Transformative Touch Somatic Therapy here in Asheville, NC and what makes this form unique is its blending of gentle touch with dialogue. Touch helps the body feel safe enough to feel and know itself. Supportive touch helps you access and dialogue with your body and the information it has for you.
I offer sessions in Somatic Therapy Sessions as well as Classes, both in-person in Asheville, NC and virtually.
