Somatic Therapies

Somatic therapies are body-centered therapeutic approaches that focus on the connection between the mind and body to address physical, emotional, and psychological issues. These therapies emphasize the role of the body in storing trauma, stress, and emotional experiences, and they aim to help individuals release these stored tensions for healing and wellbeing.

This category incorporates embodiment practices, dance, Pilates, EFT, shaking and more.

  • Shaking medicine is based on our bodies intuition and reminds us that we, like mammals, have an innate tremor mechanism to self regulate the nervous system and shed excess energy that can cause daily tension and chronic pain.  All indigenous cultures of the world acknowledge this as an important part of their culture and place it at the center of what keeps their people strong and resilient.  Reconnecting to this intuitive body knowledge allows us to release stored trauma, unraveling root causes of many physical and psychological issues and live more freely in the moment.

    As a certified Shaking Medicine Teacher, our video session involves muscle activation and release through various exercises: disbursement principles of Qi Gong; Intuitive/ Ecstatic Dance; and Guided Yoga Nidra Savasana are all part of the journey.  Helpful for those who may have suffered traumas and want to heal from PTSD, acute and chronic pain or want to add this somatic tool to their future experiences.

Lisa • Mindful Body Healing Arts

  • I offer a hands-on Mind-Body Experience for people living with chronic conditions and mobility issues to discover more ease of movement and reduce impingement and pain so they can enjoy life more fully. This trauma-informed, holistic and multilayered approach center's the body’s deep healing wisdom, and facilitates clients’ increased empowerment in their personal healing, embodiment, and well-being journey.

    I work intuitively, using a unique blend of hands-on bodywork, guided mind-body awareness, gentle breathwork, energy work, and movement facilitation to regulate the nervous system and activate the body’s innate healing capacities.

    Some of the conditions I have supported clients with are partial paralysis, symptoms of MS, surgery prep and recovery, and chronic pain and stiffness.

Jen • Somatic Processing Coach

  • I am a somatic processing coach that works with repressed emotions to get to the core of your patterns of suffering. These manifest in the body as contractions which is actually a defense mechanism against feeling what we have buried.

    Working somatically with the Kiloby Inqiries, you will find more openness and freedom in your body and mind than you could have ever imagined.

Mandy • Somatic Therapist

  • I'm a licensed therapist with a Masters and a PhD in Counseling. I'm also a clinical supervisor and have worked in graduate counseling programs training psychotherapists. I specialize in somatic therapy and incorporate breathwork, attachment, and somatics to support you in your healing work.

    Life’s challenges—stress, pain, and unresolved experiences—often settle in our bodies, shaping how we move through the world. These experiences impact our nervous system, relationships, and sense of safety until we learn to work with them. By gently turning toward these parts of ourselves, we create space for healing and growth. My goal is to support you in feeling heard, seen, and empowered to transform these challenges. Through mind-body-spirit integration, you'll reconnect, find balance, and discover what transformation means for you.

    I work with adults ready to deepen their healing journey, especially around family dynamics, relationships, and attachment patterns. I meet you where you are, honoring your unique lived experience. Together, we’ll focus on your needs and build on your strengths to support meaningful, lasting transformation.
