SOMATIC SUPPORT
TO BRING YOU BACK INTO THE FLOW OF YOUR LIFE
A PRACTICE DESIGNED JUST FOR YOU.
if you're feeling ready to:
​
-
reconnect to your sense of vitality, meaning, & purpose
-
breathe, move and feel better
-
​learn how to trust yourself, feel more empowered, & connect to your intuition
-
​reprogram negative messages you've been working through since childhood
-
identify, understand & address the non-verbal, body-based effects of trauma
​​
I'd love to talk to you about working together.
Movement, meditation, & a somatic approach to dream interpretation are just a few of the tools we might use in working together.
The real magic happens when we work together to find out what feels right for you. This client-centered approach picks up where other modalities leave off- it's relational support to help you uncover who you've always wanted to be.
WHAT DOES SOMATIC SUPPORT INCLUDE?
​​
​
-
Individualized movement practices— mobility, breathing, & strength training to change your embodied experience from the inside out.
-
Embodied approaches to mindfulness and meditation that are accessible and safe enough to keep you grounded and present.
-
Creative work—like drawing, playing, or moving together—to break through old patterns and reconnect with your authentic self.
-
Embodied dialogue— learn to hear what your body's wisdom is saying with the support of an empathetic, engaged listener.
"What I didn’t know, or expect, working with Laura is how much of what she teaches me crosses over into other important areas of my life. For example, feeling more connected with my body has helped lower anxiety, and increased my confidence and success with my writing. And my flexibility, strength and endurance in daily life-- and hiking trails--continues to bring me even more enjoyment."
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ARE YOU TAKING NEW CLIENTS?​
I currently have limited availability for new clients, and am only able to take on clients who are able/willing to commit to consistent longer-term work (that is, more than one or two sessions). If you'd like to schedule a consultation to see if working together is right for you, please fill out the form at the bottom of the page.
​
WHERE DO WE MEET, AND HOW OFTEN?
I see clients online via Zoom; I do not have availability for in person clients at this time. This type of work is most effective when it is consistent; weekly or bi-weekly sessions are ideal.
​
WHAT DO WE DO DURING SESSIONS?
This is something we'll decide together! We can use a variety of tools and methods in our work, including rehabilitation exercise, restorative practices, meditation or breathing work, strength and mobility training, and active imagination techniques.
​
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This work is for anyone who is drawn to it. In addition to being creative, intuitive, and sensitive individuals, many of my clients are practitioners themselves. Many people come to me for help with transitions; chronic pain, fatigue, injury, or burnout; embodiment support to supplement their current talk therapy (I share clients and collaborate with several therapist colleagues). These are often people who may be less comfortable in traditional fitness/wellness spaces; folks with a history of trauma, CPTSD, depression, anxiety, or eating disorders; people who crave a deeper sense of meaning in their lives, or who are interested in working with their bodies, dreams and active imagination techniques to develop a deeper connection to their unconscious.
​
DO I NEED SPECIAL EQUIPMENT?
That really depends on you, and what you're looking for. If we’re working together virtually, there’s no need to purchase anything special (unless you want to)! We can use any existing equipment that you have lying around, or get creative with everyday objects.
​
WHAT DOES IT COST?
Sessions are $140 USD/hour. While I have a limited amount of sliding scale spaces available, these are currently full. Preference is given to BIPOC and LGBTQ2S, those living with disabilities, and those living with lower income. If these apply to you, please contact me to be added to the sliding scale waitlist. I offer low-cost, unlimited access to pre-recorded classes online as well.
