Archives: Somatic Awakening

“Somatic Awakening® has been life-changing for me in that I am learning to witness what I feel in my body whether it’s emotional, physical or mental with a loving, non-judgmental and compassionate attention.

With that kind of witnessing, wherever my attention is drawn, I always come away feeling calmer, more peaceful and stronger overall. I’m amazed that even my physical symptoms significantly reduce or go away from paying attention to them using Somatic Awakening®. I am working with my chronic worries and learning to communicate better in my primary relationship as well.”

“For the past five years, I have worked with Melissa with a variety of modalities, each one addressing different layers. However, one of the most consistent practices she has used (with me) has been Somatic Awakening®. This has helped me get in touch with my own intuition…in my body and to start to finding the connection between my conditions and hidden beliefs.

This has supported me on my spiritual path toward my true self, and my body has literally begun to learn to relax from a higher level, which has helped me say goodbye to many stress based disorders, such as esophageal spasms, Raynaud’s disease and idiomatic angioedema, to name a few. Her intuitive approach has also been invaluable and has helped identify hidden triggers, such as food allergies.

Her guidance, compassion and down-to-earth approach has helped me on so many levels beyond just the physical. She has held a gentle, safe and supportive space for me to work through my fears and find my strength and power. Her generosity as a practitioner truly shows and it is clear that she sees it as an honor to guide her patients through their journey. “

“I have been working with Melissa for several years and have been so grateful for her amazing work. I have been on a journey of inner growth for many years now, and the Somatic Awakening® process has enabled me to reach areas that I hadn’t dare to go to before.

Her gentle intuitiveness and guidance in holding space for my deep growth has been such a blessing. This work has made incredible differences for me emotionally and spiritually as she has helped me break through the rough patches to greater inner peace and calm.

I am finally able to own and accept my gifts and be my authentic self which has made my life so much more fulfilling and happy. Melissa and the Somatic Awakening® process ROCK!!!”

“Melissa holds this most amazing container of knowledge, intuition, support, love and encouragement. I did not choose an easy path and to have found a “mentor” that can guide me through the trauma that my body holds utilizing Somatic Awakening® has brought profound healing.

My gratitude to Melissa goes beyond words as I continue to awaken and learn to fly.”

“Melissa and her utilization of Somatic Awakening®…(has) allowed me to deepen my inner explorations of my fears. Using her intuitive sense, she guided me toward the issue at hand, allowing me to witness the feelings around it in a protected manner such that I was able to slowly release and move beyond.

Ultimately, I traveled to a place that I knew existed but never thought I’d have the courage to experience —the Void. That experience, plus the other journeys we took, allowed me to move to a new, higher level of awareness.”

I have made profound shifts in my awareness and my health due to the Somatic Awakening® modality.”
