FAQs

What is somatic wellness?

Somatic wellness focuses mainly on the felt sense of the physical body to get to the root of a variety of psychosomatic symptoms. I educate my clients on their nervous system, and by learning how to work with and regulate the nervous system we are able to restore the body to more vibrant health. I combine somatic therapy with my personal training practice to address both emotional and structural imbalances in the body. Somatic work can be helpful in healing from PTSD, anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts or behaviors, auto-immune conditions, chronic stiffness or pain, gut related issues, relationship attachment issues, low self-esteem, and general stress.

How is this different than regular fitness training?

Because my work is very functional in nature we are introducing movement with the purpose of alignment rather than specific aesthetic or weight loss goals. With correct inner and outer alignment, and proper lifestyle and nutritional support, the body will naturally find its most ideal weight and shape without any restrictive measures. Additionally there’s a big emphasis on tissue release and mobilization.

How is this different from therapy?

Traditional talk therapy can be wonderful in processing emotions and understanding your psyche more completely. It’s also helpful if you’re someone who needs to be referred for medication, or just needing more intensive work from a licensed mental health professional. My work aims to focus on the mind body connection in an attempt to bring about a more holistic way of healing. I am also focused on helping you set clear goals and collaborating with you on how to make them happen. I am not a therapist and I reserve the right to deny services to anyone who I believe would be better suited to work with a licensed mental health professional.

What is energy healing?

Energy healing is an alternative healing technique that has been used throughout various cultures for centuries. Energy healers work with individuals spiritual bodies to bring about a deeper level of healing that continues on past the time of the session. The branch of energy healing I practice is called Reiki and was developed in Japan. This method is completely safe and is non-denominational.

What’s your cancellation policy?

Clients are able to reschedule their session with 24 hours of notice either via text or email. If a cancellation occurs within the 24 hour window that session will not be available to reschedule. If there is some kind of emergency I will make adjustments on a case by case basis. Enforcing this cancellation policy is imperative for me to make a living off of my work and to be able to have a work life balance, I appreciate your understanding.
