Elements of Soma
An advanced, holistic manual therapy system that combines:
Fascia Release Free up restrictions in the fascial system–the connective tissue matrix that controls how all the parts of your body relate to each other–for greater mobility and reduced tension.
Movement Re-Patterning Learn new ways of moving your body, as it becomes more available and spacious, that reinforce healthy patterns and prevent returning to your old ways.
Mind-Body Integration Discover the emotional patterns and beliefs that keep you feeling stuck and unable to change.
The Soma Series
“I noticed physical changes happening quickly. Now, I have much better posture that I can find and maintain with ease. I also have improved proprioception, and feel stronger and more aligned. Soma promoted healing all over my body in ways I wasn’t expecting.”
— Tara W., after receiving the Soma 11-Series
Transform deeply rooted patterns
Whatever your primary concern, it takes a global approach to bring your body back into harmony. In the Series, we work incrementally to re-balance the whole-body network of fascia. When all the parts are moving and communicating freely, you can experience greater ease and vitality.
The Series goes beyond bodywork. In addition to the hands-on work, it includes:
Movement re-education, primarily focused on gait
Somatic exercises
Readings that expand on the themes uncovered during the sessions
Reflective journaling prompts
Before and after photos and drawings to track progress
Each session builds on the previous ones—completing all 11 sessions allows you to receive the most lasting benefit.
The Soma 11-Series consists of three parts, with an option to take a break between each segment.
Part I: The Sleeve Sessions
Balance the existing structure by releasing the large muscle groups
Session 1: Expansive breath—rib cage, diaphragm, shoulders
Session 2: Grounding in yourself—feet, lower legs and knees
Session 3: Coming into the present moment—side body, pelvis and shoulders
Part II: The Core Sessions
Create greater alignment for the spine and the relationship between pelvis and rib cage
Session 4: Establish connection from ground to pelvis—ankles, knees, adductors and external pelvic floor
Session 5: Release the front body—upper legs, front of pelvis, abdomen, psoas
Session 6: Free the back body—calves, hamstrings, pelvis, and back
Session 7: Balance the top of the spine—head, neck, face and jaw, with option for intraoral and intranasal work
Part III: The Integration Sessions
The key to creating lasting change: bring new movement patterns to all of the newly available and aware body parts
Session 8: Grounded sense of self—lower body integration
Session 9: Levity and expansion—upper body integration
Session 10: Self expression—arms, neck and shoulders
Session 11: Completion—whole-body integration
SourcePoint Therapy®
“During the first SourcePoint session, I was amazed to reconnect with my inner intuition and energy in order to make some profound discoveries and life-changing epiphanies. Now I’ve been doing it for a few months, and every session is different but consistently eye-opening!”
— Jeana D.
How I fell in love with energy work
Before I ever heard of Soma, I received Rolfing Structural Integration from a practitioner who incorporated SourcePoint in her work, and it blew me away. That something so subtle, so unseen, could have a tangible impact on my physical body was mind blowing. I immediately attended the training to learn more. I had no experience with energy work like Reiki; it was all new to me. And then I fell in love with the simple words that this practice is rooted in:
Order • Balance • Harmony • Flow
Now, it’s one of my favorite practices—I love using it for self care, and I love sharing it with folks (and animals, and plants...) I offer it for less than my usual rate because I firmly believe that regular SourcePoint sessions can have a profound effect on your nervous system, and it can improve your ability to connect with yourself. It’s the ultimate self care.
Experience it for yourself
I recommend you try this work if you:
Want to feel deeply restored
Are feeling energetically or emotionally stuck
Need to reconnect to yourself
Seek nervous system regulation support
Everyone’s experience is different, but one of the things I hear consistently from clients is that new insights reach them in these sessions. It’s like our minds, bodies, and the greater field are all communicating more freely, and that flow of information is something our systems crave.
What to expect in a SourcePoint session
You’ll wear comfortable clothes and spend about 45 minutes on the table, usually face-up. We’ll be pretty quiet during the session, and you will hear me walking around the table as I hold points in your energetic field off to the side or above your body. I will make light contact at times, and maybe do some passive movement of your body, but tissue manipulation is used sparingly and is usually not necessary.
Beforehand we’ll chat about any intentions you have for the session, and after we’ll discuss what came up for you. When you leave, go for a short walk to allow yourself to slowly come back into the present, as sometimes these sessions can take us deep into ourselves.
I recommend doing at least 3 sessions to experience the greatest benefit. To facilitate this, contact me about receiving a discount on 3+ sessions.
