Soma—vitality for your mind, body & spirit

Soma Structural Integration takes a wholistic approach to health

Each bodywork treatment builds on the last: The Soma Series (11-Sessions)

  • All the parts of your body are connected and affect each other. The Soma Series recognizes that a whole-body perspective is necessary for any treatment to be effective.
  • If you want to change your body, you have to change your mind. In the Series you are invited to take a journey of self-exploration through introspective readings, exercises and dialogue.
  • Working incrementally with each part of your body, the Series guides you to healthier posture and more enjoyment in everyday activities.

“With other forms of bodywork I felt like I was being worked on, in Soma I feel like I am being worked with.”
~ Fred S. | Renton, WA

Address the Root Causes by Working with Fascia & the Nervous System

  • The whole body network of fascia and its interwoven connection to the nervous system is integral to your posture and the way you move and feel.
  • Soma addresses deep, long-standing patterns using specific techniques that target the nervous system and fascia in gravity. In Soma sessions you’ll experience deep tissue releases and guided movements to remap neural pathways.
  • Creating new neuromuscular connections allows for ease of movement, better posture, reduced pain and less tension.

Somatic & Movement Education Creates Lasting Changes

  • Life is movement. Whether you’re walking, cooking, or simply breathing, the way you move (or don’t) impacts the way you feel.
  • In the Series you will refine fundamental movements so that your daily activities feel easy, comfortable and just plain good. These healthy movement patterns will perpetuate ongoing improvements in your whole being.
  • Soma invites you to discover true embodiment; to move from a place of authenticity so you can fully express yourself—body, mind and spirit.

Gar's Soma Story

Slide

Soma had a profoundly beneficial effect on my life. Having undergone seven spine surgeries, plus shoulder, knee, and other surgeries, I had grown accustomed to living with chronic pain and assumed it was inevitable. By the end of the Series, I felt entirely different in my whole body, having regained an ease of movement throughout that I believed had been lost forever. The reduction of pain, the postural improvements, and the overall return of well being in my body that Soma gave me was life changing and brought back a lot more wag to my tail.

Before & After the Soma Series with a Student Practitioner: Notice how Gar’s head becomes more upright and his chest is lifted in the after photos. His shoulders are naturally back and there’s a sense of ease and alignment in his posture. In our program you’ll learn how to analyze posture and movement, but even to the untrained eye you can see why Gar is feeling so different in his body.
