Somatic Body Therapy

Healing plus transformation.

Open restrictions in your fascia, movement, breath, and ways of thinking. Unlearn the habitual patterns that keep you stuck in your ways.

Embody new possibilities.

Our patterns are often invisible to us because they happen under the level of conscious awareness. Whether it’s clenching a muscle as we walk, or holding ourselves back through self-limiting beliefs, these holding patterns can have a profound effect on our lives and sense of self.

Somatics is about introducing more awareness, more choice, more resilience, and more possibility into our bodies and lives through consistent practice.

Great for…

• increased bodily awareness

• understanding how stuck emotions and limiting beliefs show up in your body and your habits

• transform stuck patterns into new embodied possibilities

• working through physical, emotional, and/or creative blocks

• trauma integration

• regenerating an embodied sense of safety

What is a session like?

Sessions include a combination of embodiment practices, Polarity therapy, deep tissue bodywork, breathwork, and dialogue to help you build resilience, deepen awareness, release out-dated stories that live in the muscles, nerves, and tissues.

Sessions are designed differently for each person, depending on what you want to get from it. We’ll begin with an intake and go from there.

I work both on and off the table through movement practice, somatic coaching, relational skill-building, and somatic bodywork.

The 1st introductory session is always 1/2 off!

It’s hard to understand the potential of this work without experiencing it, so come on in! This first 45 minute introductory session will act as in intake. We'll discuss your healing goals and my approach, and make sure it's a good fit . I will also lead you in a foundational somatic awareness practice for you to get a sense of the work and how it might support you.

(If you are familiar with Strozzi/gs somatic bodywork, working with another coach or therapist, and want to schedule a single bodywork session, please email me at Thirdspace.Somatics (at) gmail.com)

How often do I need to come in?

Somatic transformation is a process. Like any form of therapy or new embodiment practice this work in intended to be longer term, process oriented work.

Shorter term option:

2-3 sessions can be great to increase body awareness, regulate the nervous system, or work through a pressing issue.

Longer term option:

If you are interested in deeper healing and transformative work, ongoing sessions are necessary. To heal and transform long-held patterns requires time, consistency, practice, and building resource in the body. At least 6-8 sessions are necessary to begin with.

I also offer free consultations for those who want to learn more about the work before coming in.
