Somatic Body Therapy
Open restrictions in your fascia, movement, breath, and 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. Sometimes what gets stuck in the tissues is emotion or trauma, but more often, and more simply, it is a collection of tension, unprocessed memories, life experiences, muscular habits, and protective holding patterns that have stacked up over time to create our “embodiment.”
Somatic Body Therapy is about introducing more awareness, more choice, more resilience, and more possibility into our bodies and lives.
Great for…
pain relief
increased bodily awareness
unwinding tension patterns
as well as…
emotional regulation/release
moving through stuck places
trauma integration
regenerating a bodily sense of safety
transitions of all kinds
What is a session like?
Sessions include a combination of bodywork modalities*, movement and breathwork, as well as coaching (if applicable) to help you move toward your healing goals.
Sessions are designed differently for each person, depending on what you want to get from it.
This form of Somatic Therapy happens mostly on the table, but can also include off the table somatic practices, movements, and coaching conversations, depending on your desired goals.
This form of bodywork happens fully clothed, so please dress comfortably.
_________
The 1st session is always 1/2 off!
It’s hard to understand the potential of this work without experiencing it, so come on in!
The 1st session also includes an intake. Depending on your healing goals, multiple or ongoing sessions may be recommended, but you are always welcome to come in just once.
I also offer free consultations for those who want to learn more about the work before coming in.

*Bodywork modalities I use include Strozzi/generative somatics, myofascial release, Ortho-Bionomy, Rosen Method, and craniosacral.

Thirdspace Somatics is a project that continues to bloom in new ways. It is my private practice as well as my passion project. It’s about embodiment. It’s about time-tested methods of healing, as well as experimentation and embodied research. It’s about cultivating new social practices to create new worlds as this one continues to unravel.
