What is an Integrative Somatic Practitioner and how can I help you?

I’m so excited to announce that I’m officially a certified Integrative Somatic Practitioner now! Last fall when I was going through my major health issues that was severely impacting my mental, emotional and physical health, I tried every modality to help me. I tried going to a chiropractor, functional doctors, therapists, reiki, massage therapists, and finally I tried somatic coaching.

Somatic coaching was the “thing” that helped me to resolve my issues, and find relief in my body and then mind. I started to feel better and started living my life again. After that experience I knew I wanted to learn more about somatic work, and enrolled in the IWA’s Somatic Practitioner Certification Program. I spent the majority of Winter completing the course modules, reading assignments, hands on learning and finally the practicum and final exam. I passed the program and receive my certification this week. I am so excited to incorporate somatic coaching into my facial treatments for a truly holistic level of care for my clients.

So what is an Integrative Somatic Practitioner? From the IWA website:

Certified Integrative Somatic Practitioners help their clients gain freedom, peace of mind as well as grounded balanced approach to their lives and daily stressors.

The Integrative Somatic Practitioner Certification Course trains and equips you to help people more effectively deal with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma through effective tools and techniques that empower individuals to increase their capacity for stressors, process and release stuck stress and trauma and even better understand and re-write the neural pathways (behavior patterns) that have developed as a result of current and past stuck emotions.

and so much more!

I have three service offerings that incorporates somatic work: the in-person (Austin based) somatic coaching and holistic facial experience, the virtual somatic coaching experience, and the Austin based or virtual dating reset. You can find more information by going to the Services page.

I am so excited to use my skills as an integrative somatic practitioner as well as my license as an esthetician to provide services to my clients to effectively help them to restore and balance their body, mind, heart and spirit so they can live a life that is full, vibrant, and one that they are excited to wake up to daily, like I have done myself.
