  • What is Somatic Channeling?
    Somatic Channeling is an advanced energy work modality which identifies and clears stagnant patterns of emotion, trauma and energy within the physical body, chakras and overall energy field. Leading to deep release, relaxation and integrated well-being.

    This integrative healing practice is a transformative tool for growth and expansion, drawing parallels to modalities such as Pranic Healing, Spinal Energetics, Classic Tantra, Kundalini Yoga, acupuncture and more. It facilitates deep communication and integration among the emotional, physical, mental, and energetic dimensions, empowering you to release deep energy blocks, unravel recurring patterns and regain balance.

    During a session, I sense, locate and release blockages in your energetic body (chakras, nadis/meridians, auric layers) which are usually the result of chronic stress, emotional repression and trauma. The work often translates to somatic and emotional release, as well as healing in the physical body. Each session is unique for the person receiving at the time they are receiving it, no two sessions are alike.

    What does a session look like?
    A session is 60-minutes (virtual) or 75-mintes (in person) where you lie comfortably on your back, on a massage table, covered in a blanket. Once you have asked any questions and are settled, we begin with a guided meditation, as you relax into the experience. Following this, I dive into the modality, channeling an energy work experience that is unique to you - as I am a conduit to co-create healing between you and the universe. I always dedicate time at the end of the session to integrate the experience together and provide intuitive guidance as desired.

    Who is Somatic Channeling for? 
    Somatic Channeling is for all those interested in experiencing transformative and healing power of channeled energy work. 

    That said, those with serious mental health conditions (e.g. untreated trauma, schizophrenia) should speak with a medical professional before engaging in this type of energy work. 

    How many sessions do you recommend? 
    This truly depends on the person. A single session can be really powerful and once experienced, most people are eager to book another one. I would recommend starting with one session to ensure this modality is the right fit for you. Following this, a 4-session package is a great place to start.

    Where do you offer Somatic Channeling? 
    I currently offer in-person Somatic Channeling in Toronto, Canada. You can check my booking page for current locations. I also offer virtual sessions for those located elsewhere. Energy work transcends physical presence and these sessions are just as powerful.

    If you are interested in offering individual or group Somatic Channeling sessions at your event, I am available for travel. Please reach out to me to discuss.

    How should I prepare for a session? How can I care for myself afterwards?
