Somatic Integration Sessions

Why "Somatic Integration"?

The word somatic means "relating to the body" and I use this word because our bodies hold important information about our experiences that our thinking minds alone often can't access. I use the word integration because growth isn't about becoming someone new - it's about developing a more compassionate and connected relationship with all the parts of ourselves that already exist.

What is Hakomi?

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

-Hakomi as defined in the Hopi Language

In early 2024, I completed the Hakomi 2 year professional training and it has been a foundational influence in my work. The "many realms" refers to the different layers of our human experience - physically, emotionally, mentally and beyond. Images, thoughts, feelings, sensations, yearnings, intuitions, assumptions. These are the things we bring our awareness to and explore while following the Hakomi principles of organicity and non-violence. We gently follow the natural unfolding of your experience rather than trying to force change. Many different things can emerge in this process: memories, emotions, younger parts of ourselves, moments of insight, or unexpected shifts in perspective. Every person's 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 experiencing, polyvagal theory, Buddhist contemplative science, and more.

Ultimately, this work is about developing a more compassionate and honest relationship with ourselves. As we begin to understand and care for the different parts of us that have developed over the course of our lives, we experience greater clarity, wholeness, and freedom.

As we become less caught in old protective patterns, more of our energy becomes available for living with intention, presence, and deeper connection to ourselves, to others, and to what matters most.

What Clients Are Saying:

"Working with Chelsea over the past year has been one of the most profound experiences of my adult life. Through her deeply attuned presence and rare ability to hold space with both tenderness and curiosity, I've been guided into layers of emotional awareness and embodied wisdom I didn't know I had. During our sessions she often invites an intelligence that feels ancient and intuitive to emerge from within, allowing for healing that is not just emotional but truly transformational.

In a short time, I have felt my inner landscape reorganize around wholeness, my relationships have gained depth and clarity, and I move through life with more authenticity and calm than ever before.

I cannot recommend Chelsea any higher, it has been a gift and a blessing to have her in my corner throughout my healing journey."

-Y.M. Asheville, NC

“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
