Sessions are typically done with the client lying on a massage table, fully clothed, though they may also be done while seated, standing, or in gentle movement.
Through verbal dialogue and gentle touch, the therapist cultivates a safe space for communication throughout the session and guides the client to explore a deeper awareness of their body. It is in this space that your transformation will occur.
Clients often experience energy releases, expression of stuck emotions, and a heightened sense of inner peace. A common feeling upon leaving the session is feeling "less in my head & much more grounded."
Initial intake sessions are 1.5 hours, then we will typically move to 1-hour sessions.
1.5 and 2-hour sessions are available if you desire a more expanded experience or need to space out your sessions due to a long commute to the studio.
Clients often report a heightened sense of inner peace, and feel "lighter" or "cleared out" after experiencing energy releases and expression of stuck emotions.
A common feeling upon leaving a session is feeling "less in my head & much more grounded." A greater sense of clarity and a deeper connection to oneself is also commonly reported.
Some clients prefer to keep their schedule clear following a session to allow more time and space for the effects of the experience to expand, while others may use the session as a welcome break in the midst a busy day.
I do not accept insurance, though you can pay using an employer-provided Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA).
Somatic Therapy is done fully clothed and the therapist and client are both active participants in the session. The touch used in Somatic Therapy is a gentle touch that is intended to "listen to and communicate with", rather than "change or manipulate" the body during the session.
A Somatic Therapist addresses your whole being, and guides you to gain a deeper awareness and understanding of your patterns of tension, so that your body and mind can choose to experience release & freedom.
For those uncomfortable doing in-person sessions during this time, I offer remote sessions. We run a Molekule air purifier in the office & clean the surface of the table after each use.
I will continue to follow the recommended CDC guidelines for masking, and will always err on the side of caution. I consider the safety of my clients to be of utmost importance and will postpone sessions should I become aware of a close contact.
