About
Somatic Healing for Sensitive Souls
Conscious embodiment is medicine.
Learn to cultivate nourishing embodiment
for inner growth & healing.
In each session, we ​
-
choose an area of exploration (life challenge, physical symptom, emotional block, etc.)
-
gently experience how this issue lives in your body and what it might be saying or asking for
-
explore somatic patterns beneath the issue for greater ease, belonging, and freedom
-
draw healing support from the natural world
-
listen for other approaches that want to arise
-
root in compassionate awareness throughout
Each session is a fluid blend of
Hakomi mindful self-study, somatic processing, & earth-based awareness.
Here's more about each approach.

How this work can help
Sessions can explore many different areas of life, such as:​​​
-
anxiety & overwhelm
-
releasing & integrating emotions
-
regulating the nervous system
-
unblocking stuck-feeling areas of life
-
emotional roots of illness & physical symptoms
-
ecological grief & disconnection from nature
-
cultivating boundaries (inner & outer)
-
feeling safer in your body
-
learning to rest/let go
-
navigating 'sacred thresholds' (loss, change, big experiences, etc.)
This work is highly organic and follows the inherent wisdom of your body, mind, & spirit.
This means that each session is unique, and while we might begin work in one area, the process itself often reveals new layers & pathways as we go along.
​
So if you're drawn to this work,
start where you are,
knowing new areas of exploration
will open as you go.
Poetry often says it best.
If these practices were a poem:
​
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
​
- Mary Oliver, "Wild Geese"
