Somatic Bodywork
Bodywork for nervous system regulation, deep healing, and getting unstuck.
We are shaped by our life experiences. Literally. Maybe we habitually make ourselves small to take up less space or puff ourselves up to prove something. Shoulders contract upward in fear and can become heavy with burden and despair. Over time, through repetition, these patterns shape our muscles, dispositions, and personalities. Through somatic bodywork we will explore these types of embodied patterns at the muscular-emotional level, and support you to invite awareness, breath, and life back into all the parts our yourself.
We look for the ways that emotions, beliefs, social conditions and social norms have literally shaped our bodies, with reverence for how that shaping has protected us - and an acknowledgment of what it has cost - and we feel for a permission to invite aliveness to flow back through.
Somatic Bodywork is great for:
learning to re-inhabit your body
reseting your nervous system
letting go of emotional holding patterns that keep you stuck
healing trauma at it’s root
What to expect:
Sessions are collaborative and different each time, depending on what you want to get from it. They can range from a focus on relaxation/reset to more of focus on releasing suppressed emotion and traumas. We begin with an intake to discuss your goals and desires. You can book a single session for $90 or a package of 4 at a time for $75 each. Deeper healing requires multiple sessions.
Bodywork happens face up and fully clothed.
The bodywork I practice is mostly informed by the lineage of generative somatics and the Strozzi Institute. This lineage is an integration of various somatic methodologies including CranioSacral, Polarity, and Bioenergetics.
