About Somatic Therapy

Through weaving awareness between the felt sense, emotion and belief, Somatic Therapy cultivates your capacity to live from the intersection of body, mind and spirit. A union of talk-therapy and bodywork, Transformative Touch Somatic Therapy uses supportive touch and dialogue to guide you into safety and connection with your body so that you may integrate the information it has for you. 

This work is collaborative. Together, we go to your body with questions and follow what is revealed. We begin with a check-in and connect with the experiences, emotions, states or patterns that you’ve been chewing on through-out the week. We slowly bring the body into the conversation to awaken sensory information. From here, you have the option of going to the table where you can lie down to support a restful dropping in or you can stay seated in your chair. In either case, we embark on a conversation with your body, the home of the unconscious. This gives the neo-cortex, your rational thinking mind the opportunity to quiet which allows information from the limbic system or the subconscious to come forth. If welcome, I offer touch to support connection, safety, awareness, felt sense and movement of energy.

Clients who work with me have tried traditional talk therapy and want a more embodied experience of healing to unstick persistent patterns that are no longer serving them. Clients want support with: anxiety, joy, self-doubt, relationships, un-integrated trauma, grief, life changes, artistic practices, self-care, physical pain or discomfort, sleep issues, family dynamics, among others.
