Since there are so many benefits for somatic or embodiment work, there are many reason why you would attend a class.

Here are a few of our favorites!

Chronic Pain: As you mentioned, a significant chunk of chronic pain is tied to emotions, and somatic therapy can be a great way to alleviate this pain by releasing those emotions.

Stress and Anxiety: Our bodies often hold onto stress, creating tension. Somatic therapy helps release this tension, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety.

Trauma: For those who have experienced trauma, somatic therapy can be a gentle way to process and release stored emotions without necessarily having to verbalize everything.

Improving Body Awareness: It’s like getting to know your body on a deeper level. Somatic therapy can enhance your awareness of bodily sensations and help you understand the mind-body connection.

Emotional Regulation: Learning to connect with and express emotions through the body can contribute to better emotional regulation.

Mind-Body Integration: Somatic therapy is all about bridging the gap between the physical and emotional aspects of our experiences, fostering a more holistic sense of well-being.

During a hypnosis session, one is often lying down on their back with eyes closed. The facilitator will guide you through a meditation session using hypnotherapy as a modality to be able to access a level in your subconscious mind that will allow a shift within you to shift any patterns/behaviors one deems necessary.

Hypnotherapy sessions can be used for many situations, so it depends on what your end goal is (i.e.: self, relationships, career, finances, addictions, etc.) Every facilitator will have a different approach and each session will be different depending on goals and personal progress.

Most energy sessions take place while lying down in a dim-lit room with some meditation music. Usually the facilitator will open the session with a little meditation or a prayer and will follow by focusing on different parts of the body throughout the entire session.

Some facilitators practice no-touch modalities while others will ask permission to touch your body at different points in the session.

For group sessions, facilitators will dedicate a few minutes to perform some one-on-one energy work.
