A Sacred Somatic Journey is a deeply profound process that transforms the way you experience your life. Somatic Journeys combine bodywork, breathwork, sound and energy to create a powerful and effective form of deep healing. This healing takes place in the physical tissues of the body alongside the energy flow inside and around the body.

Somatic Journeys can allow us to access places within that we have been separated from for a long time. More often than not, this disconnect will relate to a time when we needed to separate our physical senses as a form of protection. Because the physical body has innate memory, the parts we disconnected from can stay in this disconnect long after the events have passed. It is through this internal reconnection and reclaiming that we can step once again into our wholeness. It is through our wholeness that we can once again feel complete.

What does Somatic mean?
Somatic is a term used when relating to the body as separate to the mind. The word ‘soma’ is taken from Latin origin and literally translates to ‘the body’. Somatic practices offer the body a space to tell its story without interpretation or  interruption from the mind.  The body has its own inherent memory and when it is allowed to express this an integration will happen that is very healing to the participant.

Somatic work generally involves movement and touch combined with conscious connected breath. Throughout the session you will focus on your inner experience as you move and expand your internal awareness. The emphasis of Somatic work is on the internal physical perception and experience. It is a process that allows you to explore your internal landscape, and as a wise woman once said, “If you don’t go within, you go without” Everything we need to heal is within us.

What form does a Somatic Journey take?
You should allow two hours for your session. This includes:
– Time for us to connect at the start of the session. You may have a clear intention that you are bringing, or simply an openness to explore the work. I welcome it all.
– Table time, where you are on the table and I am working with my hands on your body. As with massage, its best if I can have contact directly with your skin, so I cover and uncover specific areas of your body as I am working on them.
– Integration. This is still table-based, but my hands can be both on and off the body. You will be fully covered for this part. The senses often withdraw and you can journey deep into a sacred part of yourself.

How will I feel after the session?
Mostly people feel better – and what this actually means is unique to each person. I suggest that you clear your schedule as much as you can for the rest of that day so that you have space to reflect and rest. Please refrain from taking  alcohol or recreational drugs  24 hours before or after a session.

How many sessions will I need?
This is something only you will know the answer to. The sessions are powerful and I suggest you take 1–2 weeks between sessions for the work to resonate to its fullest expansion. If you are dealing with some big life-changing events you may be drawn to work with me more regularly. On each visit we will plan a journey that feels right for you.

Who are sessions for? 

I work with people for a number of different reasons. The one common motivation I see in the people who come is that they would like more peace in their lives.  Maybe some of the following situations apply to you? Stress, anxiety, depression, anger, bereavement, serious health diagnosis, recovery, PTSD, abuse.  I do not see clients who are in ‘active addiction’ but I do work with them once they are in recovery.  I also work with clients who do not relate to any of the above but would like to experience them selves, who they really are, on a deeper level.

As you can see there are many paths that will lead you to a experiencing a Sacred Somatic Journey.
