What is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy is a holistic wellness modality that focuses on the connection between your body and mind to heal ailments of the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

Why would I benefit?

Your body holds and stores emotions that have yet to be released. According to both ancient medicinal traditions and newly found scientific discoveries, these unresolved emotions and unaddressed traumas can become "trapped" in your body, presenting as tension, pain, imbalances, and disease. (Check out the book "Your Body Keeps the Score" if you're curious to learn more!)

What is it like?

Your Somatic Therapy experience with Ashley is as unique as you are. You'll arrive to a peaceful environment, immediately feeling the sense of exhale as you assess your current state of wellness together. Using over ten years of study and experience in the fields of Health Sciences, Massage Therapy, Usui Reiki, Meditation, Chakra Balancing, and Yoga, you'll be guided through a gentle reconnection of the body, mind, and spirit. Your session is tailored to meet your specific needs and wellness goals with a combination of being guided through physical movements, breathwork, visualization, healing touch, self-regulation, and relaxation techniques to calm your nervous system and promote healing.

Which form is best for me?

Group somatic therapy class is an excellent way to dip your toes in and see if Ashley's style of healing support is right for you. This is also an excellent way to build a sense of community within your life of those who are in all stages but experiencing similar challenges. Classes are also a more affordable option.

​

Individual sessions are perfect for going deeper, especially if you're looking for support that is specifically designed for your needs. These sessions are also private, which can foster a level of comfort and care that allows for continued levels of release that may be harder for some to achieve in a group setting.

How should I prepare?

Come to your session with an open mind, wearing comfortable clothes you can move in. Hydrate well before if able, and bring your bottle of water (no worries if you've forgotten). Consider the areas of life you've been struggling with... physically, mentally, spiritually. Reflect upon what feeling better will mean for your life and open your heart to it happening.

Is Somatic Therapy for me?

Perhaps you've tried modern medicine and are tired of being prescribed band-aids rather than getting to the root of the problem. Perhaps you've tried talk therapy, maybe even with different therapists and feel you've hit a plateau. You know you're ready to feel good and create the kind of life you know you're capable of, you just feel like you're hitting roadblock after roadblock. Somatic therapy has been shown to successfully improve:

  • PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, pain management, ADHD, chronic ilness, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and more.
