SOMATIC HEALING

The benefits of somatic work include:

• More confidence, personal empowerment, self-compassion, and self-awareness;

• New choices in how you respond to pressure, conflict, stressors, and triggers;

• Greater confidence in setting boundaries and asking for what you need;

• Deepened intimacy, agency, connection, safety, and presence in relationships;

• Reduced or alleviated physical pain, tension, and immobility;

• Expanded sense of purpose, presence, creativity, aliveness, and spiritual connection;

• More capacity to cultivate and track somatic awareness, integration, and coherence;

• Increased executive functioning and ability to focus;

• Greater capacity to discern safety and trust yourself, others, and the world; and

• Increased capacity to show up resiliently for the work of collective liberation.
