Somatic Integration Sessions

“Where do you stand in relation to these many realms?”

-Hakomi Defined in the Hopi Langauge

What is Hakomi?

One of my favorite ways to describe Hakomi is “assisted self-study”. With Hakomi, we explore together with loving awareness all that arises within your being- physically, emotionally, mentally and beyond. Images, thoughts, feelings, sensations, yearnings, intuitions, assumptions-all are free game to deepen into and expand beyond. Following the Hakomi principles of organicity and non-violence, we gently follow the natural unfolding of the psyche as it expresses itself through all these planes of experience. Many things can happen here, including encountering the inner child, specific memories, running into old emotions, spontaneous releases, and more. Each persons journey is unique.

What Is It Like To Work With Me?

My job as facilitator is to follow where you lead and step in to provide guidance as necessary, while holding a container of loving presence and attunement to your process.

These sessions can unlock what may be hidden in the subconscious, and offer us the opportunity to see clearly what blocks us from receiving the nourishment available to us and practice taking it in.

In my sessions, I weave in elements of Internal Family Systems, somatic awareness, polyvagal theory, Buddhist contemplative science, and more.

Ultimately, it is a reworking of our relationship with ourselves in order to achieve coherence and integration of our many parts.

Through this, we free up energy that is caught up in sustaining habits that cause us suffering, which can then be put towards conscious and intentional use for the highest personal and collective benefit!

Sessions are 75 minutes long

Sliding scale rate of $100-$70

What Clients Are Saying:

“Over the past few months working with Chelsea I’ve had many break through moments that allowed me to gain insight and resources to handle blocks in my life. I’ve learned so much about myself and addressed deep emotional blocks I struggled to understand for years.

Just a few sessions has opened me up to a new way of processing emotions and getting deeper within myself.

I’ve seen significant changes in my stress levels and find I’m more mindful and patient with my family. Being able to address the physical root of my emotions has been transformational and has improved my life immensely.

I am excited to continue to work with Chelsea as I uncover deeper levels of my emotional being that are found within my body. I love how sessions are laid out and always leave feeling like something important was uncovered. I'm very appreciative of the support Chelsea has been able to provide me over the past few months.”

-Rachel, Asheville, NC

"Chelsea’s a fantastic practitioner. I’ve had many breakthroughs with her style of guidance and specialties. One area I struggle the most with my healing journey is that I tend to ruminate, fixate & overthink, judging my feelings & emotional landscape rather than being present with them, allowing them to be there. With Chelsea, I’ve been able to meet with my inner child often & have deeply profound experiences with little Jen which is super rare & no other therapist has been able to help me connect to that part of myself.
Chelsea’s extremely intuitive in her way of asking questions that ultimately lead me to the right place where my inner child feels safe to be heard, seen & understood. I’m able to make that distinction between my adult self & the little inner child that is screaming to be heard.
Through our work together, I feel significant shifts in the way I am able to deal with stressors, depressive episodes & negative self talk."

-Jennifer, San Francisco, CA

"Chelsea is a highly empathetic and insightful individual. Whether discussing trauma or guiding me through Hakomi practices, she holds space and maintains focus for my body and mind to fully feel what is happening and connect. I had a breakthrough in being able to feel body tension and relate it back to past traumas. Bringing awareness to the body and how my thoughts and actions affect it has brought me peace, and a roadmap on how to address blockages. I routinely use the visualization exercise she walked me through in session to ground myself and regulate myself when I dissociate.
Chelsea is an intuitive soul that strives to be there for others. She is a radiating calming presence with an inquisitive approach."

-Carolyn, Seattle, WA

"I love Chelsea's vibe. She is very allowing and very accepting of what organically arises, never wanting to control the outcome. As a result, it feels like a very safe non-judgmental space and I can feel free to unfold in any way i want to. Her somatic knowledge allows me to deepen specific sensations in the body without getting lost or too taken by something specific. I definitely recommend Chelsea!!"

-Amel, Los Angeles, CA

"The session was exactly what my body needed. I appreciated Chelsea’s experience as a Hakomi practitioner as she was able to support me through an emotional release that bubbled up during our assisted stretch session. The combo was a gentle way to support my emotional and physical body."

-H.P. Asheville, NC

“Chelsea does a wonderful job integrating the body and mind as part of the healing process. I have had multiple sessions with her, and I keep coming back because she is so effective as a healer and a spiritual catalyst. Chelsea is thoughtful and very present to whomever she works with. She continually helps me be present in my body as I process complicated emotions. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to do deeper healing and emotional integration. “

-Dana, Chicago, IL

“Chelsea listens deeply, sees with clarity, and guides from the heart. She is a gem of a person and a blessing as a facilitator. Highly recommended!” -Fede, Montreal, CA
