What We Do
Soma = Body
Somatic practices include a range of body based tools like breathwork, movement and massage/bodywork, and were used for 5K+ years by ancient traditions for the purpose of reconnecting to ourselves on a deeper level than the mind alone can reach. Modern day neuroscience and trauma research now show that our "issues are in our tissues" and the "body keeps the score." With practice, these tools allow us to move past the thinking mind and embody our experience, rewire the nervous system, foster brain/heart coherence, and create lasting change in our lives.
Somatic Coaching & Breathwork sessions provide a safe space for you to tap into your bodies innate intelligence to heal past trauma, release old stories, and move through stuck energy . Led through a trauma informed lens, my approach honors where you're at, and we use a variety of science backed techniques to help you reach your unique goals.
Bodywork sessions address your full body - physical, mental, and emotional. With simple breath prompts, assisted stretching and attention to you nervous system, we'll use multiple modalities designed to best suit your needs.
Soma = Body
Somatics are body based practices (breath, movement, bodywork) used for 5K+ years in ancient Eastern traditions that allow us to reconnect with ourselves for optimal living. Unlike the traditional Western top-down approach of mindset work, Somatics are bottom-up, integrating both mind & body through honoring the nervous system. Now backed by neuroscience and trauma research, these tools are making a comeback, proving that WE are the medicine we need.

If you're tired of subscribing to the 'shoulds' and ready to get real with yourself for a life with more freedom, confidence, and joy...
You're stronger than you think you are. But if you're anything like me, you need help reconnecting to that inner voice that's been there the whole time. You just need someone to show you what works.
You're done with second guessing and want to reignite your inner fire.
Somatics are the ultimate tool to optimize your life by starting from the ground up, your nervous system. The trauma informed approach prioritizes your unique window of tolerance in the form of titration (fancy word for baby steps). When the body feels safe, the survival brain turns off, leaving more space to bring in new ways of being. Coaching is offered in 3 and 6 month containers for optimal results & lasting transformation.
