Integrative Somatic Energy Healing
Spinal Energetics™ and Somatic Energy are mind-body practices that work with the nervous system and energetic field to support regulation, reconnection, and a greater sense of ease and wellbeing.
The experiences we move through in life—stress, change, relationships, loss, responsibility, and everything in between—can influence the way we experience and move through the world. Over time, we may develop patterns of tension, protection, holding, or disconnection that become familiar to the body and nervous system.
These approaches are founded on the understanding that life's experiences, ongoing stress, emotional challenges, and our environment can shape protective patterns within the nervous system and body. Over time, these patterns may become deeply ingrained, influencing how we move, feel, and respond to the world around us. These modalities create space to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the body's innate intelligence.
There is nothing to perform and nothing to get “right.” Each session is a unique experience. As the nervous system begins to respond, the body may express itself through spontaneous movement, changes in breathing, emotional release, or vocalization. These responses arise naturally and are understood as the body's own way of processing and reorganizing long-held patterns.
Rather than attempting to correct or fix the body, the practitioner creates a supportive environment where the nervous system can feel safe enough to regulate, adapt, and reconnect with its inherent capacity for balance.
The intention isn't to fix your body. It's to create the conditions for you to feel, listen, soften, and reconnect—allowing your own innate wisdom to guide the experience.

Spinal Energetics & Somatic Energy work with the nervous system to help release stored stress, tension, and unresolved trauma, supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.
The spine is the body’s foundation, and the nervous system plays a key role in regulating how we feel, function, and respond to life.
Using a combination of light or no touch, subtle movement, and guided awareness, this technique helps restore balance in the body’s energy flow, encouraging deep healing, clarity, and improved overall well-being.
-
Sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on whether it’s your initial consultation or a follow-up appointment.
-
When first beginning this work, client sessions are typically spaced 1–2 weeks apart.
Integration can take up to 72 hours, during which the body continues to unwind and may release stored emotions that now feel safe to surface. Because of this, back-to-back sessions aren’t recommended; it’s important to give your body time to process and fully absorb the work.
-
The heart of Spinal Energetics & Somatic Energy lies in cultivating self-awareness, helping individuals reconnect with their own energy on every level: physical, emotional, creative, spiritual, and even energetic patterns shaped by life experience.
While talk therapy can be incredibly helpful, it doesn’t work for everyone, especially for those who struggle to express themselves verbally or who feel disconnected from their emotions. Integrative Energetics offers a different path to healing by working through the body and nervous system, allowing stored emotions and unresolved experiences to release without needing to be put into words.
It supports people in reclaiming their authenticity and stepping into a more liberated, aligned version of themselves.
-

Spinal Energetics & Somatic Energy is for most people, though there are a few situations where it may not be suitable.
If you're dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, headaches, stomach discomfort, digestive issues, jaw clenching, low libido, or general aches and tension, you’re not alone. Many of these symptoms are signs that your nervous system is in overdrive. You might also notice yourself stuck in patterns, feeling reactive, disconnected, or just low on energy.
Integrative Energetics offers a gentle, non-invasive way to support your nervous system. It helps the body unwind stored stress, physical tension, and emotional buildup, creating space for deep healing, reconnection, and balance.
-
Every person's experience is unique. Some may have noticeable movement during their first session, while others may not move at all, even after several sessions. For some, movement builds slowly over time; for others, it may never happen.
It’s important to understand that movement isn't a measure of how deep or effective a session is. A still body can experience just as much healing as one that moves. The process meets you exactly where you are.
-
Everyone’s experience will be unique because we all carry different life stories, stress levels, and emotional layers.
To truly feel the benefits of this work, I recommend starting with 3 to 6 sessions. This gives your body and nervous system time to adjust to the work and begin releasing in a meaningful way.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. I encourage you to tune in and move at your own pace. While one session can be powerful, deep healing takes time and consistency. This isn’t a quick fix; it’s a process of gentle, ongoing transformation.
-
This work is not offered during the first or third trimester of pregnancy. If you’re in your second trimester and feeling well, sessions may be possible with care and proper support.
-
Everyone’s experience is completely unique.
Some common things people may experience during a session include:
Sensations of energy like warmth, coolness, tingling, or gentle currents
Involuntary movements such as twitches, stretches, flowing motions, or even poses similar to yoga
Emotional release—sometimes emotions that have been held in or unprocessed may rise to the surface. Crying, laughter, or waves of feeling are all normal
Visual imagery or inner visions
Each session meets you exactly where you are
-
Many people report feeling lighter, more grounded, and at ease after a session. Common shifts include relief from physical discomfort, improved sleep, a clearer mind, fewer mood swings, reduced anxiety, and an overall sense of calm. Some also notice more energy and a stronger connection to themselves and their intuition.
Spinal Energetics & Somatic Energy work by calming the nervous system, helping the body return to a more balanced and regulated state.
-
It’s completely normal to notice subtle shifts in the days following a session. You might experience changes in energy levels, emotional releases, or sensations of ease, or even mild discomfort, as your body processes the work.
For most people, the integration period lasts up to three days, but everyone’s experience is different and unfolds in its own time.
-
Everyone responds differently, especially if you’re new to energy work or still building a mind-body connection. Some people feel a lot right away, while others may notice more subtle shifts at first.
Practices like meditation, breathwork, yoga, and felt-sense awareness can help strengthen your connection to your body and energy. Be patient with yourself, your body will respond in its own way and at its own pace.
