Making everyday joy tangible through expanded somatic capacity…
Somatic Alchemy
A touch-based therapeutic process for restoring your energy and recalibrating your body’s nervous system to hold more of the life you want.
Do you ever wonder why you feel tired, restless, and creatively stagnant even thought you’re living a life you once dreamed of?
Do you come home exhausted, burnt out, and wondering why this life doesn’t feel as good as you thought it would?
You’re allowed to want more.
Our dreams evolve as we do, and we are always evolving.
But here’s my truth:
Despite what you may have been told, there is nothing standing in the way of you and the life you truly want.
Because living a life with more laughter, more love, more joy, more freedom, more ease, and more intimacy doesn’t require more work,
it requires more presence.
And being present requires a body to be present in.
Your body is the link between how you crave to live and how you currently are.
And here’s more truth:
People say we live in a dis-embodied society, but the truth is we live in an unconsciously embodied one.
We are always embodied (because we have a body), but we are not usually consciously choosing what we are embodied by.
And the bigger the vision, the more presence is needed in your body to consciously hold it.
Let’s be honest for a minute…
Big dreams by unconsciously embodied visionaries is what’s created the world we live in.
Bigger dreams by consciously embodied visionaries is what is needed to usher in the society we all crave to live in.

FAQs
-
All n-person sessions (60 min.) begin with a brief check-in to determine the session focus before getting on the table. Once there, through vocal and hands on touch, a client’s attention is guided into exploring the body’s sensations as well as any emotions, memories, beliefs, or experiences that may arise and shift as energy moves through the body. A session then ends with a moment of integrative rest before concluding with a moment of connection and reflection.

While the objective of massage is relaxation, Somatic Alchemy is structured around teaching a client presence through sensational body awareness.
In Somatic Alchemy, the practitioner-client relationship is viewed as a dance. The client is asked to be an active participant during a session, paying attention to the sensation of their body as it is being physically and verbally touched. Talking is often utilized to help explore how sensations. memories, and thoughts change and move in the body throughout the session.
In this way, a client is actively strengthening their mental capacity to stay present in their body and feel it shift in real time on its own, allowing the work to continue off the table.

While a difference will be felt within one session, you are essentially learning a new language (sensation). We are training your “muscle” of body awareness and your ability to resource through your body in real time.
Like training at the gym, especially at the beginning, consistency is important for sustainability.
I recommend new clients come weekly or bi-monthly for at least 3 months to begin.

Please wear comfortable clothes. Depending on your comfort level and the area of the body we are working with, I may ask you to remove certain articles of clothing (such as shirts, pants, bras, and socks) for me to better access an area.
Leave at least 90-min prior to a session for food to digest.
