As women, we are often conditioned to play many roles — daughter, mother, partner, friend — but beneath these roles lies a deeper, more authentic version of ourselves waiting to be discovered. In this journey of maturation, we evolve through the archetypes of the Maiden, Mother, and Wild Woman, and it is through embracing our full range of feminine energy that we can truly step into our power.

In the sacred space of therapy, the therapist is not just a guide—they are a witness, a companion, and a mirror. A somatic therapist holds a space of profound presence, where your body and heart can begin to unravel the stories it has held for so long.

Trauma doesn’t just live in the mind—it lives in the body. Every sensation, every tight muscle, every flutter of the stomach, and every aching joint can be a doorway into the story your body has been holding for you. Somatic therapy is a way of helping you hear that story, understand it, and ultimately, heal from it.

Hakomi is a word that, in its original form, means “how do you stand in relation to these many worlds?” A question that gets right to the heart of it. It’s a simple question, but one that can open a door into your inner world—a world that holds the answers to who you are, how you feel, and why you move through the world the way you do.

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, many women feel disconnected from their truest essence, their deepest knowing, and their innate sense of power. Society, family expectations, and even personal doubts can cloud the path to self-discovery. Yet, there’s an ancient archetype that calls to us from within: the Wild Woman, a wise, untamed force that connects us to our authentic, embodied self.

When we embark on a somatic journey—through practices like Hakomi and somatic therapy—we begin to awaken to this inner wildness. We reclaim our relationship with our Deepest Self and Wise Inner Knowing, stepping into a fullness of being that transcends the limiting beliefs, the doubts, and the noise of the external world. In doing so, we experience a profound sense of wholeness, and from this place of alignment, our fullest expression begins to radiate through every aspect of our lives.

As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) or an Empath, you have an extraordinary capacity to feel deeply. You connect to the world in ways that might seem mysterious or even overwhelming at times, perceiving energies, emotions, and subtle vibrations that others might miss. While this depth of feeling is a gift, it can also leave you feeling fragile, overstimulated, or scattered. In a world that often asks you to be “tougher” or “less emotional,” you may find yourself questioning your place or doubting your sensitivity. Yet the core of your being, the very essence of who you are, is needed now more than ever.

In a world that often prioritizes the mind over the body, Somatic Coaching offers a transformative alternative—one that honors the body as a gateway to the psyche and a home for your deepest self. Our approach to Somatic Coaching is unique because it combines several powerful modalities, including Hakomi Mindful Somatic Coaching, Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, nature-based therapy, and ancient wisdom practices. But the real magic lies in our unwavering commitment to compassionate presence and respect for the body’s wisdom.

When one embarks on this somatic journey, they are gifted with an embodied relationship to their Deepest Self and Wise Inner Knowing. From this place of innate wholeness, your fullest expression comes through in all you do.

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a gentle, listening-based therapy designed to help calm the nervous system and improve feelings of safety and connection. Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, SSP is based on Polyvagal Theory and helps reset the nervous system to better respond to stress and trauma.

Polyvagal Theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, helps us understand how our nervous system responds to safety and threat.

Somatic Experiencing (SE™) is a body-based approach to healing trauma, stress, and shock stored in the nervous system. Trauma isn't just about the event, but how it affects the body, often keeping us stuck in fight, flight, or freeze responses. SE helps release these stuck patterns, allowing the body to recover and build resilience.

Hakomi is a unique form of psychotherapy that combines mindfulness, somatic awareness, and compassionate exploration resulting in profound healing and self-discovery. Hakomi offers a safe nurturing space to explore your inner world, tune into the wisdom of your body, and embrace transformative self-awareness. 

Somatic Therapy is a holistic approach to healing that honors the deep connection between your mind, body, and spirit. Rooted in the understanding that our bodies hold wisdom, Somatic Therapy invites you to slow down, feel, and listen to the sensations within.

Burnout. Ooof…a bodily state that is so very primal, complex, nuanced, and human in its nature. Society often creates a lot of judgment, shame, and drama around burnout. For instance, one might feel like they aren’t “strong enough”. One may look at other co-workers, in the same situation that are thriving, and feel too sensitive, that something is inherently wrong with them, or that they should toughen up and be able to handle this. Burnout, in this instance, often gets blamed on the individual, leaving a residue of shame, blame and self judgment.

In this Somatic Therapy Practice all emotions, all nervous system states, all feelings and mindsets, and most of all…all parts of you are welcome.

Jealousy. Ooof…an emotion that is so very primal, complex, nuanced, and human in its nature. Society often creates a lot of judgment, shame, and drama around jealousy. For instance, the “jealous woman” has often been demonized as crazy, frivolous and gaslighted for her outrage of emotion. Jealousy, in this instance, often gets dismissed as this petty thing and shamed for its complex and confusing nature.

However, in truth, it takes an enormous amount of courage and vulnerability to talk about and get curious around Jealousy. At its core, jealousy actually reflects a very important set of needs and wishes. Jealousy is simply a response to life experiences. An adaptive strategy to the underlying need for safety, love, and connection. So today, I really want to start a conversation along those terms. For labeling someone as jealous is far too simplistic and stops further healing, connection, and clarity from transpiring.
