Private Somatic Session
YOUR BODY KNOWS THE WAY
Are you experiencing:
​
-
Tension and stiffness that won't budge
-
Challenges with your breath, sleep or digestion
-
Always in your head, trouble slowing down, constant worry, lack of focus
-
Stuck, lack motivation, keeping yourself small, numbing out.
-
Yo-yoing between highs and lows
-
Sense there is 'a piece missing' in your wellness puzzle
-
Have no idea why your body reacts the way it does
"Her holistic approach was what was missing in my life." ~ Aya
Despite your best efforts and various therapies over the years, do you:
​
-
Repeat patterns that limit your peace, presence and joy in life?
-
​Sense your body might be holding onto chronic stress and unresolved trauma?
-
Desire a body-based, natural approach to resolving your health challenges?
-
Want to address root cause and shift from reaction to mindful response?
​​
I help adults safely explore and process the tension, emotion and sensations stored in their bodies from chronic stress and traumatic life events so they can restore resilience and be present for their lives.
​
What to expect in your first intake/new client assessment session
-
Intake with compassionate inquiry about your life experiences, symptoms and desired outcome.
-
Breath analysis (in-person clients receive screening with biometric device that measures C02 to identify detrimental breathing behaviors that can be foundational to nervous system dysregulation).
-
Client-centered, body-based practices to increase self-awareness and shift your states
-
A detailed follow up email with reminders
-
Most people report a sense of deeper self-understanding of what's going on, validation, relief, hope, and possibility after their first session.
​
​Based on your needs, I weave body-based practices into your follow up sessions;
-
Somatic inquiry (we explore the sensations that are connected to circumstances)
-
Somatic Breathwork (Inquiry, C02 measurements for in-person, and tailored practices)
-
Somatic Movement ​
-
Nervous System Literacy & self-regulation tools
​
Any precautions?
All the practices are modified and are customized to suit your unique needs. In general, this work is suitable and beneficial to those experiencing complex symptoms (i.e. chronic pain/illness, trauma recovery, chronic anxiety and depression).
-
Movement practices are very gentle.
-
Techniques are used to ensure sessions are digestible and not overwhelming
-
Breathwork is client-centered, and a biometric device is used to aid in determining most suitable practices.

"Joy has made a huge difference in my life. I worked with several different people before meeting Joy, and am really grateful for her approach. Joy takes great care in offering her insights and experience while being so present with me during sessions. I can see - and feel - the passion she has for her work. Each session has allowed me to make more and more progress towards using somatic-based skills to manage stress and anxiety. Joy has been encouraging and gentle while guiding my sessions and teaching very helpful exercises for breathwork." ~ Lisa
Needing consistent support for complex, chronic symptoms?
-
Symptoms related to complex trauma history (i.e. childhood adverse events, intergenerational trauma, addictions), require consistent support over time.
-
A 10-week container of support is available for those needing weekly support and co-regulation.
-
Additional care from a licensed therapist may be recommended (referrals and collaborations with therapists are welcome).
-
Clients report increased self-awareness and capacity to handle stress, improved sleep and digestion, sense of agency, and increased self-kindness.
