Welcome.

I am glad you made your way here. My name is Amelia. I am a Somatic Therapist in Kansas City.

I offer in person somatic touch therapy for individuals who are seeking to tune into the wisdom of their body and shift from analyzing, to really feeling.

What is somatic therapy?

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 be with them in a safe container.

There are many forms of Somatic Therapy, to learn more about my training and what to expect in a session please check out the FAQ page

Sessions are currently held in a therapy office in the West Bottoms, which is shared with several other therapists. Exact location will be shared after our consult call.

If you are interested in becoming a client, please fill out this form and I will be in touch to schedule a 30 minute free consult call.

“The body, not the thinking brain, is where we experience most of our pain, pleasure, and joy, and where we process most of what happens to us. It is also where we do most of our healing, including our emotional and psychological healing. And it is where we experience resilience and a sense of flow.”
