Sometimes our minds understand something long before our bodies are ready to let it go.
We can talk about our stress, understand our patterns, recognize our triggers, and know exactly what we should be doing differently—and still feel tension, emotion, or protective responses arise in the body. Somatic work offers another way in.
Soma+IQ™ is a trademarked method of somatic breathwork designed to reconnect the power of the mind with the innate wisdom of the body. I completed my training and became certified in the Soma+IQ™ Somatic Breathwork method in the spring of 2026.
Rooted in an understanding of the nervous system and the mind-body connection, the practice combines intentional breathing, somatic awareness, guided verbal cues, movement, and other body-based techniques to create an experiential approach to personal growth and healing.
The word somatic simply means of the body. Instead of trying to think our way through everything we experience, somatic practices invite us to notice what is happening inside the body—our breath, sensations, tension, impulses, emotions, and the subtle ways our nervous system communicates with us.
A Soma+IQ™ breathwork journey uses the breath intentionally to move through an arc of activation and settling. Rather than breathing only for relaxation, we may first use breath, sound, movement, and somatic awareness to create space for emotion, physical tension, or energy that has been held or suppressed. The journey then moves toward down-regulation, integration, and rest—giving the body an opportunity to settle and the mind an opportunity to become quieter and clearer.
You don't have to know what you're looking for before you begin.
You may experience emotion. You may notice physical sensations, memories, images, movement, laughter, tears, insight, resistance, stillness, or an unexpected sense of clarity. You may simply discover what it feels like to stop analyzing yourself for a while and become curious about what your body is communicating.
One of the principles I especially value in Soma+IQ™ is that the practitioner is not the healer. My role is not to decide what your experience should mean or to make something happen to you. My role is to create and hold a supportive container, guide the breath and the experience, and help you remain connected to your own agency throughout the process.
Your body belongs to you. Your experience belongs to you. And the wisdom we are listening for is ultimately your own.
I offer shorter RESET-style breathwork sessions for those who want an accessible opportunity to reconnect with their bodies and nervous systems without undertaking a full journey.
For those who want to go deeper, my Somatic Breathwork Journeys provide more time for the complete arc of breath, activation, expression, release, settling, and integration. My Full Moon Journeys combine this deeper breathwork experience with intention, ritual, rhythm, and the energetic symbolism of the lunar cycle.
I also offer private 1:1 sessions and customized group experiences, allowing the breathwork to be shaped around the needs and intentions of an individual, group, or gathering.
Most breathwork offerings are available virtually unless otherwise noted, allowing you to experience the work from the privacy and familiarity of your own space.
You don't need to be experienced with meditation. You don't need to consider yourself spiritual. And you don't need to be “good at” breathwork.
You simply need to arrive willing to breathe, notice, and become curious.
Sometimes the mind has already said everything it knows how to say.
It's time to listen to the body.
