what is somatics?
Ancient Greeks used the word soma to refer to the body. To put it simply, somatics is pertaining to the body, where our experience resides.
There are many modalities and lineages that inform the word somatics, and how I view this word is informed by a handful of these.
The soma (the body) contains multiple interconnected layers from the physical, to the mental and spiritual. In somatic work we turn toward our experience and view our mind-body-spirit as a deeply intelligent and wise ecosystem that knows how to heal itself.
what is somatic coaching?
Somatic coaching is a process where I offer my grounded presence and attunement, creating a safe container to be fully present with your experience. We will tune into aspects of your experience through sensation, emotion, meaning, image, and behavior, and let your system guide the way.
What this looks like is different for everyone and is a uniquely individual experience. While I am trained in a number of somatic based modalities, the foundation of my work is rooted in somatic experiencing.
what is somatic experiencing?
Somatic experiencing is a body-based healing modality developed by Dr. Peter Levine. Somatic Experiencing (SE) works directly with the nervous system to gently build one's capacity to be with and witness their own felt experience without shutting down or becoming stuck in overwhelm.
In our SE informed sessions, you will access your own experience in real time through sensation, emotion, meaning, image, and/or behavior. I will gently support you in connecting to these aspects of your experience and together we will be a witness to your experience, allowing your bodies wisdom to speak.
unconscious experiences may come into awareness
unprocessed experiences may rise and begin to process through one's physiology
experiences that haven't been felt may begin to be processed and felt through the body

We attune to your nervous system as a pathway of love and compassion — growing into deeper alignment and truth.
Somatic Guidance
Cultivating awareness and capacity to be with and witness your embodied experience. From here, life has the potential to open into greater depth, fullness, and meaning.
Spiritual Guidance
Support for navigating awakening experiences, spiritual openings, and the excruciatingly beautiful terrain of expanded consciousness. I help you cultivate contemplative practices that support your path and integrate openings into daily life.
Integration
Integration is the art of being presently embodied while being with the felt sense of experiences while they land, metabolize, or complete.
integration is a big word that gets thrown around a lot these days, and it looks different for everyone. In some ways, you could say as we move through the world we are always integrating, becoming different versions of ourselves. But specific integration sessions can be particularly helpful after big experiences or processes, or when there is a lot of unrooted energy that needs support landing.
Resonance or Curiosity?

This is not therapy: While therapeutic in nature, my services do not replace licensed mental health treatment. I encourage all individuals to maintain relationships with therapists when appropriate.

Jenna is a warm, heart centered-healer that brings respect, dignity, and clarity to the healing process. I found her to be highly professional, a great communicator, and I felt supported through every step of the process. I'm so happy she's doing this work and sharing her gifts with the world.

Jenna held a beautiful ceremony for me. Its echoes reverberate through my system as time marches on and this powerful experience continues to integrate. I felt Jenna's intuition and presence so strongly in the space she lovingly held for me. Her personal spiritual and ritual practices felt so elegantly woven through the entire day, yet there was spaciousness for me to bring my own. It was a wonderfully harmonious balance which yielded an experience that will stay with me for a long, long time. Thank you, Jenna.
