Somatic Art Session with Melissa

To learn more about my work with Somatics + Creativity, click here.

The language of the Soma is vast in memory. Our bodies are intimately connected with the earth, with our lineage, and with the events which have both shocked and nurtured them, and everything in between. When we sit with our bodies in the gentle presence of witnessing, we are able to find emergent truths as they surface in their willingness to be seen. Then, to bring our discoveries to the page and illustrate with an intuitive art expression, we have a visible record of our discoveries to support ourselves with.

Our session will be an organic blend of settling and centering exercises, somatic awareness and guidance, dialog, silence, movement, and artistic expression of what is found. You are welcome to bring any intentions of things you would like to work with. 

Some great examples are:

*Navigating life transitions or rites of passage

*Unblocking the creative flow

*Grief processing work

*A desire for deeper embodiment

*Clarity around life relationships

*Wanting to conceive a child

*Navigating birth/becoming a parent

*Miscarriage and pregnancy loss

*Connecting with your life's true purpose / mission / dharma

I find that connecting regularly to my body and my creative practice is an invaluable resource to my health and wellbeing. My somatic and creative practices are beacons and anchors that I can return to whenever I need to connect back to my truth and my inner voice. Art can be a vessel for expressing things that may not be accessible via words. It is a symbolic voice that the body can use to reveal insights into core truths, chronic issues, and healing potentials. This is why I am inspired to share these special sessions with you.

Our session will bring alive some tools for you to work with in your own life. My intention is that our time together is very resourcing for you, and will illuminate many innate resources that can support you post-session and beyond. 

For over twenty years, I've been actively immersed in the languages of the body and the creative spark. My art practice has guided me to an intimate dialog with my body, discovering ways to access my body's voice through listening and artistic expression. I will weave in my training and experience as a Holistic Health Practitioner, art educator,  mentorships in Anusara Yoga and Plant Spirit Medicine, doula training, and my continuing studies of Somatic Experiencing™ (currently in training to the Intermediate I level) into a fully intuitive, dynamic, personalized session with you.

Within 12 hours of your booking, I will reach out so that we can schedule a time for your session. I will send you details about how to prepare for our time together. I look forward to being with you.
