Somatic comes from the greek word ‘soma’, meaning body. This form of therapy seeks a ‘bottom up’ approach to healing, which integrates the wisdom of the mind, body and spirit as connected.

Rather than seeking to analyze or intellectualize a situation, a somatic therapy session will instead provide a space to tune into whatever your body is experiencing in the present moment without judgement. This means learning to notice the physical sensations present in your body and to explore them in a safe container.

There are many forms of Somatic Therapy. I am trained as a Transformative Touch practitioner through the Somatic Therapy Center in Philadelphia. In this modality, I integrate both talk and touch throughout a session.

I am trained, certified and insured as a bodyworker. I am not a psychotherapist or mental health counselor.
