Somatic Sessions

Breathwork + Sound Bath

Breathwork (specifically Soulful Breathwork) enables deep emotional release and catharsis. It has the ability to bring our minds to a state of serenity, thus quieting internal noise and chatter, which allows us to tap into a deep state of relaxation and peace. Not only does it support the heart and mind, but the body and spirit as well. It simultaneously nourishes the physical body by oxygenating our cells, promoting rejuvenation and healing while boosting our immune system.

Grief lives in your lungs. Grief is all the sadness and disappointment your body, heart and mind resists fully taking in when your nervous system is overwhelmed. Your breath is your innate lifeforce. Oftentimes when we are amidst stress or trauma we stop fully breathing and taking in our reality; quite literally, your breath can become shallow, rapid even. Breathwork is beautiful because it allows our body to release by pulling on its own life force with no external medicine, but the medicine you naturally produce within your breath.

When breathwork is paired with a sound bath the possibilities are truly limitless as our bodies are composed of 60% water. The lungs are made up of about 83% water, which vibrates and moves our cellular body with the high pitch of sound bowls. Sound bowls are an ancient healing modality rooted in Tibet. During a sound bath, the brainwave state transitions from a normal waking state (beta) to a relaxed state (alpha), ethereal dreamlike state (theta), and even a restorative state (delta). This causes the body and mind to relax, thus decreasing heart rate and blood pressure, which allows our breathing to become deeper.

A breathwork and sound bath session begins with guided Soulful Breathwork and follows into a sound bath in tandem with breathing.

Emotional Release & Nervous System Regulation

Have you ever seen a child have a temper tantrum and then become completely empty, relaxed and quiet following the emotional release? Well, believe it or not adults too need to have this form of somatic release. Although it is taboo in today’s society to have a tantrum, it is vital to release the energy charged by deep emotions (such as anger and sadness) in order to keep yourself emotionally current and grounded.

Some may say this energy is even trapped energy or trauma in your body when left unattended. Emotional release tools are the means to let go of that energy before it overwhelms you and your nervous system. Many autoimmune disorders are a result of emotional stress, duress and trauma that was never truly felt or released. There are specific tools that can be used weekly or even daily to let un-serving emotions go.

Not only are there tools to release your emotions, but to ground and regulate your nervous system as well. Your nervous system is operated by your Vagus Nerve. When you are relaxed your Vagus Nerve is in the Parasympathetic state, which constitutes rest and digest functions, such as when you are in a state of ease or reach REM while sleeping. However, when emotionally triggered or threatened the Vagas Nerve moves into the Sympathetic state which brings your body into the primal state of fight, flight, freeze or fawn.

I combine emotional release and nervous system regulation tools to aid you in emptying yourself emotionally when triggered, while also utilizing tools you can bring to your daily life to regulate your nervous system and bring your brain into a state of REM. REM is the most relaxed state your brain can move into when processing potentially stressful and/or traumatic situations of your past and present. Not only can the tools bring your brain into a state of REM, but your body into a state of catharsis and create new neural pathways, which enable new ways of thinking and processing; all of which will leave you feeling lighter and more equipped to handle what life throws at you amidst hardship and stress.

Somatic Soul Retrieval Retreat

Retreat

This retreat lasts for 3-5 days, combining Womb and/or Root (prostate) work with Bufo Alvarius, and ends with a Psilocybin Ceremony. The retreat takes place in my home in Miami, which is intended and built as a healing temple with a spare bedroom for somatic and medicine work. For example, we first start with womb or prostate work (depending on the body of the indivdual) and then move into a Bufo Ceremony immediately afterward. The following day(s) is taken off from medicine and instead focuses on coaching participants through their integration, shadow hunting the root (where the behavior began) of disempowering ways of relating, thinking and behaving and providing a safe space to just BE with all the facets of the human experience, which can be emotionally dense. On our last evening together we do a Psilocybin ceremony, which supports the download of deeper insights and wisdom to solidify the entirety of the experience, leading to deeper catharsis and clarity when returning back to normal life.

Somatic Body Work

I am Internationally trained in somatic body work, plant medicine and sacred sexuality facilitation, and education.  I teach an array of somatic and emotional release tools to show you how to become emotionally grounded through becoming attuned to your nervous system (vagus nerve). Becoming emotionally grounded and current is super power to acquire as our lives are composed of a series of nervous system reactions: fight, flight, freeze and fawn, which disempower our feelings of self worth and confidence in relating when left unattended.

The intention of somatic work is to move trapped energy out of the body, including the nervous system. Trauma is held energetically in your mind, spirit, body and heart. Lots of people feel they are “complete” in their healing journey because they’ve done traditional “talk therapy,” however your mind can be at peace with a situation, while your body never forgets and requires an actual somatic purge to let the energy go. There are several services I offer regarding somatic work. This work is very personal and misunderstood by many.
