Somatic Massage Experience
The Somatic Massage Experience is a treatment designed to support both physical relaxation and emotional awareness. Moving beyond traditional massage or energy work alone, this session incorporates therapeutic massage techniques, conscious breathwork, Reiki energy healing, and somatic touch practices to create a holistic experience tailored uniquely to you.
This treatment is based on the understanding that the body holds memory, stress, stuck emotions, which can often manifest as areas of tension, discomfort, or disconnection.  Through intentional touch and awareness, you will be guided to reconnect with your body and gently explore what it may be holding.
Each experience is intuitive and responsive. Rather than following a fixed routine, my observation, presence, and intuition will guide the process. By tuning into your body language, breath patterns, and areas of resistance or tenderness, my hands are guided toward places that may need to experience release. The integration of massage, breath work and energy work supports the nervous system in shifting toward regulation, promoting deep relaxation. The Somatic Massage Experience is ideal for those seeking more than relaxation. it is for individuals who feel called to explore underlying patterns of tension, gain emotional insight or reconnect with themselves in new ways. This is your inner healing journey and I am here to guide you and hold a safe space for you to release.

What to expect
We will start with an in depth consultation to discover what is going on for you on an emotional and physical level. I will then get you prepared on the bed and do a full body scan to see what areas we will focus on for the session.. some days a certain area may be calling for my focus than other areas, my intuition will guide me. We will do a much more relaxing style of massage focusing on lighter strokes, breathwork, holding, stretching and releasing points of tension and incorporating Reiki where needed. We will communicate the whole way through this experience more so than in a normal massage but only when necessary so its important to have an openness to the healing that’s about to unfold. I will use sage or Palo Santo to cleanse the space throughout and will play either music or a guided meditation to bring you into a deeper state of relaxation. I am your guide and will create a very loving and safe space for you to fully let go of those worries and woes.Â
