Because the body remembers — and the body can let go.
Somatic work is the practice of listening to the body as the wise, living, feeling instrument it has always been. It's slow, tender, and often surprising — a way of meeting yourself that talking alone rarely reaches.
What "somatic" means
Soma is the Greek word for the living body. Somatic work begins from the simple, radical truth that you are not a mind riding around in a body — you are a whole, breathing, sensing being. Stress, grief, overwhelm, and old patterns don't only live in thoughts; they live in muscle, breath, and posture.
When we make space to feel the body — gently, without rushing — those held patterns can begin to move and soften.
What sessions feel like
A session is a conversation that includes your body. We might pause to notice your breath, feel where your shoulders are landing, sense a place of holding or warmth, follow a small movement, or simply sit together in the quiet.
Nothing is forced. There is nothing you have to perform, perfect, or "work through." Your pace is the right pace.
A gentle invitation, in many forms
For when life feels too loud
Burnout, overwhelm, the always-on-edge feeling. We help your nervous system find a softer baseline.
For old patterns that linger
That tightness in the chest. The breath you keep holding. The body remembers — and can also release.
For reconnecting
After long stretches of pushing through, somatic work is a quiet doorway back to yourself.
For transitions
Big changes — moves, losses, new chapters — land in the body. Together we make space for them.
For curiosity
You don't have to be in crisis. Many come simply because they want to know themselves more deeply.
For rest
Sometimes the most radical thing we can do is teach our body it's safe to soften, and to rest.
Honest questions, gentle answers
What is a somatic session, in plain words?
We talk, we pause, we notice what the body is doing as we talk. We may breathe together, follow a sensation, or experiment with very small movements. It's a conversation that includes your whole self.
Is this the same as therapy?
No. I am not a licensed psychotherapist. This is somatic-based wellness and personal development support — closer in spirit to practices like breathwork, yoga therapy, or embodiment coaching. If you're seeking treatment for a mental health condition, please reach out to a licensed mental health professional.
Do I need to be flexible or "good at feelings"?
Not at all. Most people arrive feeling disconnected from their bodies — that's often exactly why they come. We start where you are.
Can we do this online?
Yes. Telehealth sessions work beautifully for somatic work. You'll need a quiet, private space and roughly an hour. In-person sessions happen in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
