The Soma Satori Method weaves together movement, art, and embodied awareness. It's built from lived experience and years of professional training in the healing arts.

The Roots of Soma Satori 

Twenty-five years ago, I found yoga when I most needed it. My body felt like a stranger's house - familiar but not mine. Through movement, I began finding my way back home. Simple moments on the mat gave me what years of talk therapy couldn't: quiet in my mind, peace in my bones.

The practice showed me that healing lives in the body. This led me down new paths - meditation, somatic work, art. I learned that coming back to ourselves isn't just about talking. It's about moving, breathing, creating. About feeling safe in our own skin again.

I built this understanding into formal training: counseling, somatic coaching with the Embody Lab, trauma work with Dr. Peter Levine, and over 1000 hours of yoga and meditation study. But the heart of this work comes from walking the path myself. From knowing that we can find our way back.

The Essence of Soma Satori

At its core, the Soma Satori Method is about integration and awakening to our full potential. It recognizes that we are multifaceted beings and our healing must address every aspect of our experience:

The Body's Wisdom:

Through mindful movement and somatic awareness, we tap into the body's innate knowledge and capacity for healing.

The Power of Creativity:

Artistic expression becomes a portal to the subconscious, allowing us to process emotions and experiences that may be difficult to articulate verbally.

The Mind's Potential:

Traditional counseling techniques are woven with mindfulness practices to cultivate clarity, insight, and emotional resilience.

The Spirit's Journey:

Drawing from various wisdom traditions, we explore questions of meaning, purpose, and connection to something greater than ourselves.

A Fluid, Responsive Approach

Each Soma Satori session is a unique creation, tailored to your specific needs and experiences. We might begin with a conversation, flow into a guided movement practice, explore an emotion through artistic expression and close with a somatic integration exercise. This fluid approach allows us to address issues on multiple levels, creating opportunities for deep, lasting change.

Embracing the Whole Self

The Soma Satori Method isn't about achieving perfection or adhering to rigid rules. Instead, it's about embracing our whole selves – including the parts we might typically try to ignore, silence or change. This compassionate, non-judgmental approach creates space for true healing and transformation.

When it comes to challenges like addiction and attachments, we focus on understanding, integration and balance rather than strict abstinence. I believe this perspective recognizes the complexity of human experience and honors each individual's unique path to wellness.

An Invitation to Explore

If you've found your way here, you may be sensing a pull towards deeper self-understanding and healing. Perhaps you're navigating challenges similar to those I've faced, or maybe your path looks entirely different. Whatever brings you to this moment, know that there is potential for growth and transformation.

The Soma Satori Method offers a framework for exploration, but the true work happens within you. My role is to create a safe, nurturing space where you can reconnect with your innate wisdom, explore new ways of being, and cultivate a deeper sense of wholeness.

I invite you to reach out and discover how we might collaborate.

Together, we can forge a path of transformation, embracing every facet of who you are as you move towards greater integration, authenticity, and vitality.
