Somatic Processing Through Movement and Stillness

Updated: Apr 28

Getting caught up in semantics has often limited my ability to fully articulate what I "do" and offer through my work. Is it work or service? Is it exploration or play? In a world driven by mechanistic, commodified, and individualistic language, we often reduce complex ideas to buzzwords and sound bites. While I value simplicity and specificity, my approach to somatic movement as a way to process experience held in the body transcends conventional definitions, weaving together elements that are not easily confined to words.


Deeply integrative and boundary blurring, somatic processing is feeling your way through.

A somatic movement session with me is less about what you do and more about what you experience. Here’s what it might feel like:

Relaxed. Fluid. Grounded. Present. Rested. Heavy. Dense. Connected. Expansive. Relieved. Condensed. Revealing. Releasing. Informed. Intelligent. Different. Stable. Mobile. Attuned. Strong. Soft. Coherent. Complete.


A practice of listening, moving and co-creating a deeper sense of BEING.


Through conversation, observation, movement, and stillness, we co-create a dialogue with your body, uncovering the unique "stories" it holds. These stories—etched into your muscles, tissues, and patterns of movement—reflect your experiences, emotions, and ways of being in the world. Together, we listen to these stories, unwinding patterns of tension and distress while weaving in new, more integrated ways of moving and living.


Exploring Spaces where movement, aw(e)areness, and connection meet.


This collaborative process engages all aspects of your body, mind, and heart intelligence. Together we cultivate a dialogue with your body to uncover and release patterns, nurturing new possibilities of being. It’s an invitation to reconnect with your innate wholeness, coherence, and presence—a return to yourself in a fragmented and often disembodied world.
