Somatic Therapy
My training in somatic therapy is diverse and multifaceted. Rather than one specific credential, it is the result of two decades of education, study, embodiment, experience, and mentorship. For more information about my training and education, please visit the About page.
What I offer is a combination of trauma-informed bodywork and traditional talk-based therapy, using the body and felt experience as our guide. In this approach, we work with whatever is present in the moment, while also exploring how current experiences have been shaped by the past.
What is Somatic Therapy?
Somatic Therapy is a body-based method that encourages deep listening and tuning into the body as a foundation for self-connection. Each session typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes and begins with a check-in about what has been present for you. From there, you lie down on a floor or a yoga mat to connect with your body and the "felt sense," which serves as the platform for our work together. This process can help individuals experiencing stress, trauma, physical tension, or those seeking a deeper self-connection.
How Sessions Work
In-person sessions may involve touch to support the process, such as applying pressure to release tension or physical holding patterns. However, touch is not necessary for the work to be effective, so sessions can also be done remotely via video call. The premise is that when loving, compassionate awareness is brought to areas of tension or holding in the body, it allows for physical, mental, and emotional release—creating space to truly let go.
Benefits of Somatic Therapy
Clients often find that somatic therapy leads to greater self-awareness, emotional release, physical relaxation, and a sense of wholeness. It’s a compassionate approach to healing that can be both transformative and grounding.
Preparing for a Session
Whether in-person or remote, I recommend creating a quiet, comfortable space where you can lie down on a floor or mat during the session. Have a blanket or bolster nearby for support, and ensure you won't be disturbed.
Booking and Pricing
I offer individual sessions as well as packages. For more information on pricing and to book a session, please feel free to reach out or visit the Booking page.
Together, we create a space for compassionate self-exploration, release, and transformation.
~ Client Testimonial ~
"Over the past year, Reanna has supported me through somatic therapy. These conversations, her insights, her professionalism, and at times her directness, have helped me to find deeper understanding of my self and my struggles. Gratitude and appreciation are not sufficient to describe the indelible mark this work has had on my life. Her patience and timely question asking helped me to arrive at the answers I was looking for, when I was ready for them (even if some where obvious to her from the beginning!). After many different types of therapy over many years, this has been by far the most impactful. Thank you Reanna".
