Our Holistic Approach:

At the core of SomaShift lies a holistic approach that combines a wealth of transformative methodologies, each carefully selected to empower you on your path to true healing and lasting transformation:

Somatic Experiencing: Navigating the Body's Wisdom: Somatic Experiencing forms the bedrock of our approach. Drawing from modern neuroscience, this method guides you through gentle yet profound processes that allow the body to release stored tension and unlock its innate capacity for healing. With a deep understanding of the body's language, you'll embark on a journey of physical and emotional renewal.

 The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) by Stephen Porges: Grounded in neurobiology, SSP offers a safe haven for your nervous system. Through specifically designed auditory stimulation, SSP helps regulate your physiological state, fostering emotional resilience and offering relief from the impacts of stress and trauma. It's a step toward healing that echoes through every aspect of your being.

 Certified Sex, Love, and Relationship Coaching: Your journey is an exploration of the self, and that includes your intimate connections. With certified coaching in sex, love, and relationships, we dive into the complexities of human connection. This approach supports you in fostering healthy relationships, nurturing intimacy, and embracing the beauty of authentic connections.

Feminine Embodiment Practices and Sensual Movement: We embrace the wisdom of feminine embodiment. Sensual movement becomes a sacred practice through which you explore your body's innate wisdom, connect with your sensual self, and celebrate the unique power of your femininity.

What Our Approaches Offer You:

 Embracing Transformation Through Embodiment: Our holistic methodologies empower you to embrace transformation through embodiment. Your body becomes a canvas upon which you paint the tapestry of your healing journey. Through this deep connection, you'll cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and an unwavering sense of self.

 Unearthing Root Causes and Parts Work: Within The Soma Sanctuary, we journey beyond surface-level understanding. We explore the root causes of challenges, uncovering layers that may have long been buried. Through parts work, we integrate different facets of your identity, fostering a sense of wholeness that transcends limitations.

 Nurturing Emotional Resilience: Your emotional landscape is as integral to your healing as your physical experiences. We offer you the tools to navigate emotions with grace, nurturing emotional resilience that empowers you to face life's challenges with authenticity and strength.

 Cultivating Curiosity and Patience: The path to lasting transformation is a journey of curiosity—one where every step is an opportunity for growth. We cultivate curiosity as your ally, allowing you to traverse this path with patience, self-compassion, and an open heart.

Welcome to SomaShift—a place where your healing journey becomes a symphony of body, mind, and soul. Step into this sacred space, and know that your transformation is not only possible but inevitable. With each session, each breath, and each act of self-discovery, you are reclaiming your power and embracing the beauty of holistic healing. Your journey is unique, and I am honored to walk alongside you every step of the way.

WHAT IS A SOMATIC APPROACH TO HEALING?

Through somatic healing + coaching + holistic embodiment techniques, I help you: 

  • Gently integrate traumas

  • Regulate your nervous system

  • Feel more freedom and confidence in expressing your sexuality

  • Revitalize your energy so that you can design your dream life

  • Be yourself without fear of judgment or external expectations, this will help you develop self-confidence

 

​

In order to step beyond surviving, amplify your human purpose, and ignite a deeper passion for life.

​

 

Discovering the radiant fulfillment that comes from within starts with a foundation of self-love.

 

But the question remains: How do you truly achieve this profound self-love?

 

Perhaps you've explored self-love affirmations and immersed yourself in mindset

work. You've diligently documented the qualities you appreciate about yourself within your journal. Luxurious spa days and self-care rituals have become integral to your routine.

Yet, beneath it all, a deeper truth persists.

​

Can you relate to the sensation of not yet anchoring yourself fully in self-love?

I understand this journey well, as it took me years to shift from feelings of unworthiness to a space of embracing and celebrating every facet of who I am—even on the days when it's a bit more challenging. The pivotal lesson is that this transformation requires choice and dedication. It's a journey of self-love that demands consistent practice.

​

So, what was my approach?

​

I chose the path of embodiment.

​

Traditional self-love methods often overlook the body and the profound shifts that must occur within the depths of the nervous system. True, lasting change necessitates healing wounds and releasing old patterns etched into our very cells...

​

Only then can we nourish our bodies with love, honor, security, and jubilation. We can rewire the nervous system, igniting a revolution of radical self-love.

​

This process allows you to genuinely cultivate deep and enduring love for every aspect of yourself—even those parts that may pose the greatest challenges.

​

This is where my expertise enters the picture—I can guide you through this transformative journey.

Unearth and heal old wounds while shedding outdated patterns.

​

Transition from self-doubt and self-criticism to the profound embrace of every facet of your being. I am here to show you how.

​

By forging a connection between healing, embodiment, and self-love, I offer you the tools to embark on a journey toward profound transformation. The radiant fulfillment you seek in your relationships starts within you, and I am here to help you uncover it.

Why I Chose Somatic Coaching Over Therapy


How is Coaching Different from Therapy?
You are here because you’ve tried talking about your problems, and it hasn’t led to lasting change. Let’s explore why a somatic approach could be the transformative approach you need.

Intentional Choice: Why I'm Not a Therapist
I intentionally chose not to become a therapist because I believe in the power of somatic coaching to create profound and lasting change. Therapy often involves introspection and dialogue, which can be beneficial, but coaching—especially somatic coaching—focuses on practical steps to achieve deep transformation. By engaging in somatic work, we uncover and address hidden obstacles that may be restricting us without our awareness, helping us to release subconscious and primal blockages that impede our progress.


The Distinct Benefits of a Somatic approach
Unlike therapy, which often focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health disorders, somatic guidance emphasizes:

Practical Action: We take dynamic steps to create real change, addressing the physical manifestations of stress and trauma.
Holistic Integration: By incorporating the mind, body, and energy, we foster a more comprehensive approach to growth and healing.
Resilience and Self-Trust: Coaching develops skills that enhance resilience, self-confidence, and embodied self-trust.


Why Somatic Healing is Effective
Traditional mind-focused approaches often center around talk therapy, but our methodology goes beyond this. We recognize the importance of integrating the body into the healing process. This is what creates lasting change. 

 

Our approach:

Completes Stress Cycles: We address and complete stress cycles within the body, fostering authentic healing.
Nurtures Body Wisdom: We tap into the body’s wisdom and the nervous system’s role in emotional and energetic states.
Facilitates Inner Alignment: By aligning mind, body, and energy, we create a nurturing journey towards well-being.

As a somatic practitioner, my primary aim is to empower you to cultivate self-reliance and self-support. Together, we will work towards achieving your goals and transforming habitual patterns, allowing you to manifest the life you've longed for.

 

Our work involves:

Acknowledging Challenges: Understanding the challenges you face and exploring effective ways to navigate them.
Fostering Healing and Growth: Nurturing a harmonious connection with your body.
Establishing Meaningful Desires: Setting meaningful life desires that propel you towards a fulfilling life.


Conclusion
Somatic guidance offers a unique, body-centered approach that goes beyond traditional therapy. By focusing on practical steps, holistic integration, and the body’s wisdom, we can achieve profound and lasting change. If you're ready to experience this transformative journey, I am here to guide and support you every step of the way.
