"Your body is where your deepest and most profound wisdom lives.
Your body is the sacred temple of your soul."
The Work
Welcome. This work began in 2000, and deepened profoundly after a traumatic accident and near-death experience in 2018. As part of my recovery, I was shown a unique way to apply and integrate a profound set of tools for transmuting trauma, shifting habitual patterns, and clearing what no longer serves. What emerged was Solar Somatics — a whole mind-body reset that draws on ancient wisdom and the intelligence of the body itself.
Many somatic healers view the body as the warehouse for our emotional memories and life experiences — both conscious and subconscious. Solar Somatics brings awareness to those places, gently unwinding the knots of pain, anxiety, fear, and stress, until what's underneath becomes available: your most authentic self, luminous and at ease.
These sessions are especially nourishing as preparation before, and integration following, any expanded state experience, major life transition, or psychedelic medicine journey.
What to Expect
Every session begins with a conversation that creates a nurturing container. This shapes the healing arc for everything that follows — so the work is always yours, not a template.
Drawing on 38+ years of Buddhist practice, 25 years of massage therapy, intuitive energetics, IFS, and Qi Gong, each session facilitates a natural opening of the body's systems — an effortless, relaxing flow.
Clients often describe leaving feeling lighter, more whole, and deeply reconnected to themselves — in a way that lasts long after the session ends. You carry the tools with you.
Offerings
A full mind-body reset. We begin with conversation, move through bodywork, energetics, and somatic practices tailored to what your system needs. An ideal complement to any healing journey or expanded state work.
A seated meditation using ancient healing sounds, colors, and gentle movement to nourish the body's organ systems and restore emotional balance. Available as a recorded practice to use anytime.
A devoted session to prepare your nervous system, clarify your intention, and help you arrive at your experience with openness and resource. A safe, loving way to care for your innermost self.
The days and weeks after a profound experience deserve the same care as the journey itself. These sessions help you land what arose, integrate the insights, and carry the medicine into everyday life.
Qi Gong is one of the most profound practices available to us — an ancient art of harnessing personal energy and moving in harmony with the forces of the earth, nature, and the universe. Through gentle, flowing movement and conscious breath, we become more attuned to our spiritual self, to our heart, and to the current of energy that moves within us and all around us. Whether you are new to energy practices or deepening an existing path, these classes meet you exactly where you are.
Structured courses and personal coaching that bring the wisdom of somatic awareness into your everyday life. Whether you are moving through a life transition, integrating a profound experience, or simply ready to live with more presence and ease — these offerings provide the tools, the guidance, and the ongoing support to help you come home to yourself, wherever you are in the world.
These words belong to clients who gave permission to share them. They are offered with deep gratitude.
