Somatic Therapy in Asheville, NC
with Michele Torino Hower
Hi, I’m Michele. Welcome! I’m here to accompany you on your path towards embodied wholeness. With over 25 years of experience in the somatic healing arts, I help you cultivate a refined and compassionate relationship with your body so that you have access to the information it holds.
Your body is a reliable structure to inhabit. It has information for you.
Somatic Therapy gives you access to deeper wisdom and clarity as well as more options for how to move in the world. It is a practice of sensing, articulating, conversing, re-membering, connecting, feeling and moving. It is a beautiful blend of talk therapy and bodywork.
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 unpleasant experience of getting stuck in mental loops where our cognitive sorting does not yield satisfying results. In this practice, we will pose questions to your body and I will help you translate the responses that arise. Your body is the unconscious, it records your whole life.
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.
The form of Somatic Therapy I practice is called Transformative Touch Somatic Therapy. I offer Somatic Therapy Sessions as well as Classes, both in-person in Asheville, NC and virtually.
