"Somatics" comes from the Greek word “Soma” meaning “the living body known from within”, or known to the Self. With this, we can understand that somatic work is an experiential approach towards mind/body integration, or a remembrance of the connection between these two that have in fact always been there. Somatic psychology is known as a “bottom up” approach as opposed to a “top-down” model, which means that we literally use the body as a guide in our experience of of mind/body healing.

If you find that you’re always living in your head, chances are, your body (and spirit) may have a lot it’s been wanting to say too

Somatic Spiritual Healing is an integration of somatic psychology and spiritual healing, creating a unique approach that addresses both the physical and spiritual aspects of the human experience. This method is the culmination of my 13+ years as a trauma-informed yoga educator and somatic therapist, blending with my extensive training as a spiritual practitioner.

This approach has proven to be a powerful tool in the realm of healing, and I offer it because of its effectiveness. Somatic experiencing, a key component of this approach, excels in helping individuals connect their mind and body through movement, sensations, and inquiry. It's like stepping into a 'zone of genius,' where profound transformations can happen.

My journey in somatic experiencing started when I worked with clients as a trauma-informed coach and yoga educator. The compelling research by experts such as Peter Levine and Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk, under whom I had the honor to train, convinced me of its value.

However, while somatic experiencing does a remarkable job bridging the mind and body, it tends to overlook a crucial pillar of our humanity: our spirit. This realization came to me through personal spiritual experiences and my work with my spiritual teacher, Mary Shutan, author of The Body Deva.

Recognizing this gap, I began to incorporate spiritual considerations into my practice, addressing elements often overlooked in conventional therapy like past lives, ancestral trauma, in utero experiences, power loss, spiritual attachments, and spiritual awakenings. By aligning the communication between my mind, body, and spirit, I found a deeper level of healing than I ever thought possible.

This holistic approach has personally allowed me to bypass years of therapy, discontinue anti-depressant medications, and overcome debilitating PTSD. From being a suicide attempt survivor who needed psychiatric care, I've transformed into a functioning individual who doesn't rely on substances to cope with difficulties. More importantly, I've become a mother who is emotionally and mentally present for my children. This profound transformation is what I aim to facilitate for others through Somatic Spiritual Healing.

Somatic Spiritual Healing is a transformative process that fosters deep connections between your body and spirit to facilitate emotional and spiritual healing. Throughout this journey, I serve as your guide, bridging the communication gap between your mind, body, and spirit. Together, we navigate the protective barriers that prevent us from tapping into our body's intuitive language. With my expert guidance, you'll find it surprisingly easy to harness your body's innate wisdom.

This method offers potent solutions for chronic pain management, abuse recovery, and trauma healing. The sessions incorporate self-inquiry, breathwork to heighten body awareness, and shamanic healing. Body-centered spiritual healing sessions can yield numerous benefits, propelling individuals towards a healthier, happier life.

The benefits of somatic spiritual healing are manifold. These include enhanced emotional and physical well-being, improved self-relationships and interpersonal relationships, heightened capacity for self-care and compassion, refined communication skills, increased resilience, and better coping mechanisms for stress. Moreover, these sessions foster a renewed sense of purpose and connectedness, often leading to profound feelings of joy, inner peace, and vitality.

For individuals bearing the scars of trauma or childhood abuse, somatic spiritual healing is a beacon of hope. Navigating the world and forging trusting relationships can be a daunting task, further complicated if you're a parent striving to safeguard your children in ways you were not protected. The silence surrounding the fear and hypervigilance experienced by parents in such situations is deafening.

However, it's crucial to remember that we have the power to break the cycle of abuse in our families. Each one of us possesses the strength required to take responsibility for our actions in the world.

Somatic spiritual healing provides a pathway to recover from childhood abuse and become the parents we wish we had growing up. By healing from your past, you can ensure a brighter, healthier future for your children and subsequent generations.

Spirituality can mean a lot of different things. When I speak of spirituality, I am referring to my personal cosmology of shamanism, spiritism, animism, and Zen Buddhism.

I grew up in the South where I went to church on a weekly basis so I am quite familiar with Christianity and enjoy working with others who left the institution of Christianity.

I work with a variety of forces that I have developed a relationship with and truly believe that these relationships are at the core of the work I do.

What may surprise you about this approach is that I won’t be bringing in archangels, ascended masters, a twin flame (which I do not believe in BTW) or other new-age ET’s from the star system 42.XBA. I prefer working with the elements, ancestors, and embodied healing.

Somatic spiritual healing sessions are a powerful, holistic tool that can be tailored to meet your unique experiences and challenges. These sessions aim to create a harmonious connection between your body, mind, and spirit, providing an all-encompassing approach to healing.

The effectiveness of these sessions is largely dependent on personal factors. Your commitment to the process, openness to new experiences, and the specific nature of the trauma or challenge you're addressing all play significant roles in your healing journey. It's essential to remember that healing isn't a linear process - each person's journey is unique and unfolds differently.

Many individuals who participate in somatic spiritual healing sessions report experiencing a variety of positive results. You may find yourself feeling a greater sense of peace and improved self-awareness. Anxiety levels may decrease, and your ability to regulate your emotions could improve. Some people even experience physical improvements, such as reduced tension and increased energy levels.

Over time, these healing sessions can lead to long-term benefits. Improved relationships with oneself and others, greater resilience, and an enhanced overall sense of wellbeing are just a few examples of the transformative effects of somatic spiritual healing.

However, it's important to note that while these sessions can be profoundly transformative, they are not a substitute for professional medical or psychological advice. If you're dealing with serious mental or physical health concerns, always consult with a healthcare provider. We're here to support you in your healing journey, offering compassion and understanding every step of the way. Remember, your journey is unique, and we're here to guide and support you through each stage of your recovery.

The journey towards emotional well-being and improved quality of life is a deeply personal one, as unique as you are. The timeline for noticeable improvements is not a one-size-fits-all, but rather varies from person to person based on several key factors.

Firstly, individual differences play a crucial role in your healing journey. Factors such as the nature and duration of your trauma, your inherent resilience, and your current state of physical and mental health can all influence the pace at which you witness improvements.

Secondly, your commitment to the healing process is a significant determinant of the pace of your progress. Healing is a journey that requires time, patience, and dedication. Regular attendance at sessions and incorporating learned techniques into your daily life will undoubtedly accelerate your progress.

Lastly, the strength of your support systems can significantly facilitate your healing. Supportive relationships with friends and family, a positive therapeutic relationship, or participation in supportive group settings can provide you with the encouragement and understanding you need during this period of transformation.

It's important to bear in mind that while some individuals may begin to experience improvements within a few weeks or months, others may find that their journey takes longer. But remember, this isn't a race. Each step forward, no matter how small it may seem, is a victory worth celebrating.

In the realm of somatic spiritual healing, progress isn't always linear. There may be periods of rapid growth followed by times of slower progress. This is completely normal and an integral part of the healing journey.

From the moment you schedule your somatic spiritual healing session, your journey to wellness begins. As our energies start to intertwine, an energetic container forms, subtly altering your perception of life. It's not unusual for clients to experience heightened emotions, unique dreams, and intuitive insights leading up to their appointment.

Rest assured, there's no pressure to have a clear idea of what you want to work on. It's perfectly fine to come as you are, stating, "Adrenna, I'm not sure why I felt compelled to book with you, but I just knew I needed to." This is oftentimes how the universe nudges us towards growth and healing.

However, if you do have specific issues in mind, that's great too! At the start of our session, we'll take some time to check-in, allowing you to share your intentions, desired post-session feelings, and future goals. Ensuring I fully understand your needs and aspirations is a crucial part of our process.

As a client-centered practitioner, your goals become my goals. My approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, employing techniques like categorization, descriptive language, and positive language to foster a comprehensive and compassionate understanding of trauma recovery. Your journey to wellness is my journey too, and together, we'll navigate the path to a healthier, happier you.
