S-O-M-A
Sense.Open.Move.Awaken™
The language of S-O-M-A will arise and awaken your client's subconscious and support the processing of what was once unsafe to feel.
Sense.Open.Move.Awaken
Sense: tuning into the felt experience within the body.
Open: surrender protective contracted states;
Move: attuning to how the body wants to express emotion,
Awaken the voice of wisdom or intuition
To heal the Psyche, the S.O.M.A must speak.
The Language of S-O-M-A
Sense contraction and emotion, Open to what is present without resistance; become vulnerable; open the armored body, Move the unfinished trauma response somatically and Awaken the voice of wisdom.
The Sensing Dialogue
Body Communication begins with tuning into or sensing from the bottom up: cognitive meaning emerges through sensation.
Clients are guided to drop down into their implicit felt sense through sensory awareness and tracking
(Methods: IFS and Gendlin’s focusing work are utilized).
The Opening Dialogue
Client’s attune to safety (shifting neuroception from threat to ease) through compassionate connection welcoming whatever emerges.
An opening of protective defenses naturally occurs as permission, acceptance and non-resistance is perceived.
(Methods: inner-child dialogue, resourcing, neuroscience and organization of adaptive personality shapes)
The Moving Dialogue
As client continues to attune to sensation and emotion, we explore what wants to move within the body... what wants expression?
Using breath-work and other somatic practices, stuck emotions are invited to move using sounds, shaking, emoting, sighing, and various expressive gestures.
(Methods: Somatic Psychology and breath-work)
The Awakening Dialogue
Following movement, the client’s nervous system generally shifts towards Ventral Vagal states of rest, digest and play. They are guided from this state to tune into their Authentic self viscerally.
During the final integration phase, attuned intuition is used to “hear” healing messages. To integrate is to awaken to ones wholeness. The brain reorganizes and uploads new pathways as the mind mirrors the peace sensed in the body. (Methods: integration and somatic attuning).

Client testimonial: "This felt like psychedelics without drugs! I felt like something deep within me shifted." --Cam S.
S.O.M.A
Sense.Open.Move.Awaken
Clients are guided to Cycle from mind into body through the felt sense, where adaptive patterns/parts and emotions begin to awaken.
Ones whole persona organizes around trauma. Trauma is not about what happened to you it is what happens inside of you. So in order to heal, we must make contact with our physiology and nervous system.
SomaTalk™ transitions clients from words to somatic listening/attuning and expression; communication occurs through the language of the body (sound, breath, emotion, gestures).
SomaTalk™ processing invites surrendering into deep states of belonging, inviting the emergence of suppressed emotion. Protective nervous system states and patterns sense safety and soften, expression occurs and new beliefs are uploaded.
The veil of separation (the burden of trauma) is lifted and shadow stories and protective shapes awaken to their natural states.
