We Solunakēn

Throughout my life, I have been interested in the relationship between the body and the mind. I have worked in many different roles and have had the opportunity to help people of all ages with many types of issues. I am deeply honored to have witnessed so many people find healing and more happiness in their lives.

​

Somatic is defined as "the living body in its wholeness". When we work from a somatic perspective, we look for balance and healing in the body, the mind, the community, and the environment. I began my first company, Somatic Therapy Associates, in 1989, so I could help individual clients improve the quality of their lives and help other health and wellness business owners deepen and grow their practices.

I have over 30 years of experience and training in integrative bodywork and exercise, Physical Therapy, Somatic Psychotherapy, and Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Most recently, I became a Reiki Master and completed practitioner training in Embodied Mindfulness.

​

I am also a recently widowed mother of two amazing young boys, my greatest teachers. This life journey has certainly deepened my understanding of loss and love and healing.  I am here to share what I have learned through the good times and the tough times to help my clients on their own path of healing and wellness.
