Body Wisdom: My Journey Into Somatic Therapy and the Birth of ZenSomatics Therapy

When I began my journey as a somatic therapy practitioner in 2014, I had no idea how deeply this path would transform not only my clients’ lives but my own. As a client of somatic therapy, I was drawn to the powerful idea that the body holds wisdom — stories, sensations, and memories — waiting to be heard. The work spoke to me so powerfully that I chose to enter a certification program with the Rubenfeld Synergy Method, founded by Ilana Rubenfeld. Her work taught me how to facilitate therapeutic dialogue with the body — to listen with compassion and help people reconnect with the parts of themselves that carry what some of us lovingly call the “issues in the tissues.” After learning the foundational work of Ilana Rubenfeld, I continued my journey with the practice of Transformative Touch, an approach that deepened my understanding of how our physical sensations, emotions, and core beliefs are intertwined. I’ve witnessed how trauma-informed somatic therapy helps people build body awareness, regulate their nervous system, and develop self-trust — even after years of living with overwhelm, anxiety, or disconnection. Through it all, one truth guides me: The body always holds the truth, and when we meet it with presence, love, intention, and care, transformation begins.

Introducing ZenSomatics Therapy

I’m honored to bring together what I have learned over the years as an occupational therapist, a somatic therapist, a ScarWork practitioner and Reiki Master into my evolving approach: ZenSomatics Therapy. ZenSomatics weaves together the grounding principles of somatic therapy with Reiki and ScarWork to create a space for clarification, self-advocacy, healing trauma, and deep connection of mind, body and soul.

✨ Somatic Therapy — Guided touch, movement, and mindful awareness invite you into a therapeutic dialogue with your body’s wisdom. Together, we explore the mind-body connection, helping you understand how your trauma history and beliefs shape how you feel and move in the world.

✨ Reiki — A gentle, energy-based practice that supports deep relaxation and healing, helping release patterns held in your energetic field, calming overwhelm, and nurturing self-awareness.

✨ ScarTalk — Scar tissue holds its own stories in the body’s fascia. This respectful, gentle bodywork softens fascial restriction, restores flow, and acknowledges the emotional layers that scars can carry.

An Invitation to Reclaim Connection

Whether you’re living with old trauma, chronic stress, or seeking to deepen your self-awareness, ZenSomatics Therapy invites you to come home to yourself — to listen to your body’s wisdom, cultivate nervous system regulation, and remember your innate wholeness.

🌿 Here’s to listening deeply. 🌿 Here’s to your body’s wisdom. 🌿 Here’s to your healing.
