What is Somatic Energy Healing?
My own unique blend of somatic healing and energy work:
Somatic Healing uses the sensations of the body to release stuck energy and heal the nervous system.
Energy work heals the disruptions of energy flow in the mind, body, and spirit.
Sessions combine my 8 years of Reiki and Shamanic healing wisdom with fresh and ongoing trainings in Focalizing (a mindful, somatic practice) and Somatic Experiencing.
This could look like sitting and talking, time on the healing table, noticing your body’s sensations, connecting to your spiritual side, or a guided journey.
How does it work?
We’ve been told that our minds are the “brains of the operation”, but in reality, our nervous system holds the memories and wisdom that ultimately makes us feel safe or not safe.
This work slows things waaaaaayyyy down, which can feel frustrating at first.
But for your system to feel safe (which means less anxiety, healthy relationships, confidence in your choices, etc.) you need to heal and rewire the frazzled brain waves that are telling you otherwise.
In sessions, I’ll ask you a lot of questions about what you are noticing in your body. Sounds simple? It is!
The complex part is really allowing your body to be a “washing machine” for all the gunk that’s been built up in your system, keeping you from living the full, vibrant life you are craving.
This means we give your nervous system the time and space it doesn’t normally have to process and release whatever you’ve been holding.
Who do I work with?
I’ve been witness to SO many people’s healing journeys over the last eight years and have found there are a few types of clients who benefit deeply from the work I do:
Empath Interrupted
Life was moving right along until…The Big Thing happened, or, many Big Things happened all at once. You were holding it all together before, but now, the Big Thing has cracked you open.
Instead of helping everyone else, YOU are the one who needs support.
You’re ready for someone to hold you in all the messy and the beautiful, so you can move forward and connect to your joy.
Awakening Empath
You’ve been taking care of others for as long as you can remember…caring for siblings and parents, mother hen of your friend group, the “I’ll take care of it” person at work.
But the toll of over-giving is starting to show up all over your life, and the idea of slowing down feels too scary or impossible.
You’re ready for a different way of being that feels more balanced, sustainable, and honors YOU.
Nourished Empath
You’ve been doing the work, my friend! More rest, setting some overdue boundaries, leaving that job that sucked the life out of you.
You aren’t an empath babe in the woods anymore, but it’s a brave new world with fresh things cropping up to say hello.
Judgement about your own emotions, doubts about your path, family wounds that are ready for healing.
You’re craving support as you step into this powerful and expanded version of you.
What do these empaths have in common?
You crave a stronger, trusting connection to your intuition
You want to feel at peace within yourself and with others
You are ready to heal the stories and beliefs that are blocking your joy
So that you can…
★ Feel respected at work with healthy boundaries
★ Find the things you really want to do, to feel more you
★ Feel safe enough to make changes that feel aligned in career, family, and friendships
★ Enjoy more laughter with your partner, kids, and family
★ Have a calmer family environment
★ Love and receive love in partnership
★ Help others without burning out or resenting them
So, what next? and…how much?
I work in-person and online. Both are powerful in their own ways. We have a connection call before your first session to answer any questions and to make sure it feels like the right fit for us both.

How often do we meet?
I highly encourage clients to commit to at least three sessions. These could be weekly, monthly, or somewhere in between. It’s taken a long time for your system to build-up blockages and paved neuropathways, so it’s going to take time to release, feel safe, and do deep healing.
Investment
60 minute sessions: $120
75 minute session: $150
Starter pack: 3 sessions, (One 75 minute + two 60 minute) $390
I’ve found our first session together always needs a bit more time, so I recommend 75 minutes to start, and 60 minutes after that.
