Somatics is a perspective that privileges the internal subjective experience of the body. Therefore, it honors the body as a primary vector of knowledge.

Somatics comes from the perspective that we don't merely have bodies, but rather we are bodies. As such, our bodies are continuously being written upon through our lived experiences. Somatic principles align with depth psychological and homeopathic principles because all three disciplines seek deeper access to the most vital and liberated Self.

Through somatic education, clients learn how to attune to their bodily experience, not simply in terms of body image, but also by becoming more conscious of how mental, emotional, and physical experiences inform their movement style. From this nexus, clients can begin to unpack the sociocultural, intergenerational, and sometimes spiritual influences that have contributed to the bodies they inhabit and the nuances of what it is to be them in the world.

Attunement to our bodily experiences and expressions helps us to build rapport and trust in our experiences as embodied individuals, as opposed to our bodies sort of running on default mode in the background of our lives. Somatic attunement helps to validate the wisdom of our body of knowledge, which inherently fosters embodiment.
