Somatic Integration for
Spiritual Evolution
Discover the innate wisdom of your body
to let go of limiting beliefs and expand into your most authentic self
Discover the power of acceptance and allowance to let go of limiting beliefs and expand into your most authentic self
Welcome to a place where all parts of you are welcome;
The joyful, the empowered, the lost, the despaired. It is an impulse of mine to see and hear others as they are, without judgement, without needing to fix. I believe the path through struggle is acceptance and allowance. When we stop resisting and get still, the universe/God/our higher selves communicates with us through a myriad of ways.
Repeated symbols, dreams, images, synchronicity, emotions, bodily sensations, stuck thoughts, physical pain, inspiration... all have something to share- the deepest wisdom of our being bubbling up to the surface, calling out to be heard. I humbly offer you myself as sounding board, as guide aiding you in the most rewarding of journeys- that of self awareness, of knowing oneself deeply. Through uncovering that which lays just out of sight of the conscious, overactive mind, we begin to build a more authentic, intentional life.
Trust me, all that is within is not nearly as scary as you think. All has a reason for being, all parts of oneself desire the same thing: to be seen, acknowledged, accepted, and nourished with the love and attention they lack. Through cultivating presence, tuning into emotion and physical sensation, we can find what each mischievous part needs to be nourished.
Somatic Integration Sessions
“Where do you stand in relation to these many realms?”
-Hakomi as defined in the Hopi Langauge
- Via Zoom -
Trained in Hakomi Somatic Therapy, I also weave in elements of Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, Buddhist contemplative science, and more to my
one-on-one sessions.
One of my favorite ways to describe Hakomi is “assisted self-study”. Using what I learned in my training as foundation, we explore together with loving awareness all that arises within your being- somatically, emotionally, mentally, and beyond. Images, thoughts, feelings, sensations, yearnings, intuitions, assumptions- all are free game to deepen into and expand beyond.
Following the Hakomi principles of organicity and non-violence, we gently follow the natural unfolding of the psyche as it expresses itself through all these planes of experience. Many things can happen here, including encountering the inner child, specific memories, running into old emotions, spontaneous releases, and more. Each persons journey is unique.
My job as facilitator is to follow where you lead and step in to provide guidance as necessary, while holding a container of loving presence and attunement to your process.
These sessions can unlock what may be hidden in the subconscious, and offer us the opportunity to see clearly what blocks us from receiving the nourishment available to us and practice taking it in.
It is a study of how we move in and out of nervous system regulation, and a practice of allowing more fluidity between them, un-sticking ourselves from a predominance in one state of being, whether it be fight/flight/freeze/shut-down.
It is a study in the impact and power of how we relate to ourselves. It starts with the seed of intention at a fundamental level. How do we relate to what arises within, and does it lead us towards suffering, or towards liberation and contentment?
Ultimately, it is a reworking of our relationship with ourselves in order to achieve coherence and integration of our many parts.
Through this, we free up energy that is caught up in sustaining habits that cause us suffering, which can then be put towards conscious and intentional use for the highest personal and collective benefit.
Hello, I'm Chelsea
Wanderer, observer of life, morphing into fully embodied woman of power, slowly but surely.
I stumbled onto a path of intentional personal evolution during my early college years. Psychedelics and books on zen buddhism were my inductors at that time, sharply marking a distinctive new phase in life, one marked by a budding self awareness and a conception of choice in my circumstances.
Since then, my most enduring hobby has been putting a magnifying glass to the inner movements of myself and those of the external world in relation to them. Like the changing colors of autumn leaves in my birth state of Michigan, I’ve witnessed myself subtly shift through shades of being.
Exuberant alignment with all of my reality at times, the crest on the wave of experience, all the way down into the troughs, lost, disconnected from source and magic. Cycling through and through, spiraling slowly up, for even when it seems I’ve taken 2 steps forward and 1 step back, I remind myself I’m still moving forward.
