Hi, I’m Rachel (she/they), the practitioner behind Somatic Healing Arts — a trauma-informed somatic practice rooted in reverence, presence, and the body’s innate capacity for healing.
In a world tangled in chronic overthinking, this work invites you to return to sensation and to self — to the heart-belly place of deep knowing.
I guide individuals through the gentle unwinding of trauma held in the autonomic nervous system and encoded in the belief structures of the brain. Because trauma isn’t what happens to us, but what happens inside of us as a result, this work tends directly to the residue — the protective patterns that once kept us safe but now shroud our aliveness.
Through integrative, body-led sessions, we begin to learn the language of your nervous system. We create space for what was once held in tension to move, soften, and release.
In the space that emerges, we reconnect with your aliveness and a deeper sense of self — the core of you that lives beneath the imprint of survival.
I offer 1:1 mind-body integrative trauma healing sessions that are designed to safely unwind and process trauma while promoting deep regulation of your autonomic nervous system.

In-Person
These integrative sessions draw from Somatic Release Technique and PsychoNeuroEnergetics, and primarily take place on a massage table, fully clothed. With sustained, gentle pressure on neurosomatic points like GB20—where the vagus nerve exits the skull—we stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system to support deep regulation. As we attune to your body’s internal language, we follow the subtle unfolding of sensation, emotion, belief, and movement. This process accesses trauma held in the autonomic nervous system and the subcortical brain, allowing survival patterns and limiting beliefs to surface, soften, and reorganize. Clients often leave sessions feeling more regulated, emotionally clear, and connected to a deeper sense of self and inner stability.
Virtual
60min
Virtual sessions draw from Somatic Release Technique and PsychoNeuroEnergetics to support deep regulation and integration through body-led awareness. Together, we track your internal experience in real time—following sensation, emotion, and belief patterns as they arise. Without physical touch, we rely on presence, attunement, and nervous system mirroring to access stored trauma and facilitate the safe release of survival energy. This process helps unwind outdated protective strategies and reorient the system toward safety, clarity, and connection. Clients often leave sessions with a greater sense of inner stability, emotional resilience, and reconnection with their embodied self.
