Letting the Body Finally Let Go
These sessions aren’t just about what you’re feeling today. They’re about anything your body’s been carrying—sometimes for years. Loss, heartbreak, anxiety, chronic pain, intimacy challenges, numbness, hypervigilance, difficulty expressing emotion or sexuality, and even avoidant or anxious attachment patterns can all arise from experiences that never had the chance to move through the body.
We often call this “trauma,” but trauma isn’t the thing that happened. It’s what didn’t happen—the response you couldn’t have in the moment or over a period of time. When fight, flight, or freeze gets cut off, that energy doesn’t disappear. It gets stored in the body. Even if your mind has moved on, your body hasn’t. It’s just learned to live with a new “normal.”
Somatic release gives your system the space to finish what got interrupted. That’s when the body can finally let go.
What This Can Look Like
Release shows up in all kinds of ways: trembling, crying, yelling, moaning, laughter, convulsing, or even going completely still. None of it is odd or wrong. It’s just your nervous system finishing something it never got to finish before.
Your body is wise, it won’t bring everything up at once. If something feels too big to process right now, your system won’t surface it until you’re ready. That’s why healing often happens in layers—like peeling an onion. Each time, you uncover a little more, and only what you have the capacity to meet.
What Happens in a Session
Sessions are three hours long. We start by talking, grounding, and setting intentions. We make sure boundaries and consent are clear. From there, we might use breathwork, guided awareness, touch, or other body-based practices—whatever feels right for you that day.
Every session is unique because every body’s story is unique. We go at your pace. You’re in control the whole time—you can stop, pause, or change direction whenever you want.
It can also take time for the body to accept change—or even touch. And by that I'm not referring to your mind thinking or knowing it want's touch, I'm talking about your body. Sometimes the most important part of the session is simply resting in prolonged, still contact. That may feel like “nothing is happening,” or you might wonder why I’m not moving. But stillness itself can be deeply therapeutic. Think of a scared dog at the pound that barks and bites if you try to approach too quickly. You can’t force comfort on it. But if you sit nearby, quietly and patiently, the dog eventually feels safe enough to approach on its own. The body is no different—it needs safety, time, and choice in order to open.
Breathwork
Breathwork can be a powerful way to unlock what’s stored. It can bring big shifts—but it isn’t for everyone. Breathwork is not recommended if you have:
-
heart or blood pressure issues
-
epilepsy or seizures
-
severe asthma or other respiratory conditions
-
recent surgery or injuries
-
severe psychiatric conditions (like psychosis)
-
a personal or family history of aneurysms
If any of those apply, no worries—there are gentler options we can use that are just as supportive.
What to Expect Afterwards
Sometimes you leave feeling light and energized. Sometimes tired, emotional, or tender. Both are normal. Integration is part of the process. Rest, water, journaling, a walk in nature—these all help. Think of it as giving your system space to land after letting go of something it’s held for a long time.
Is This For You?
This work is for anyone who wants to feel more connected, more alive, more at ease in their body. It supports people healing from trauma, working through intimacy struggles, living with stress or pain, exploring sexuality, or simply wanting to feel safe being touched.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Some people experience big change in just one session. For others, it’s a process—layer by layer, each time uncovering something new. There’s no right timeline. We’ll follow your body’s lead.
A Few Things to Know
-
Nothing happens without your consent.
-
You’re in control at all times.
-
This work isn’t about re-telling your story. It’s about letting the body speak for itself.
-
This work isn’t a replacement for medical or psychological care, but it can beautifully complement them.
Ready to Begin?
Sessions are three hours long All sessions are outcalls only—I come to you. Because releases can sometimes be loud or unpredictable, I don’t offer hotel visits. It’s important to be in a safe, private environment where you can truly let go without holding back.
Somatic Sex Education sessions may involve touch in intimate areas—not for sexual gratification, but as a way to explore your body as a whole. There are limitations in other fields like mental health or massage therapy, but held stress and trauma can reside beyond those limitations and that's why it's amazing alternatives like this were legalized. For work on/around genital or pelvic floor work, I wear gloves or use a cloth as a barrier to stay within legal bounds.
This work is about you turning inward, with me present to guide—not to be the focus. Touch is one-way and not reciprocal. If attention turns toward me, or toward wanting something more, it takes you out of the moment and away from your own process.
When Deeper Feelings Arise
Connecting, helping, and showing kindness to others brings me the most joy in life and that can be misinterpreted as something more sometimes.
Should feelings arise, it’s called transference, and it can happen when we finally feel safe or connected in ways we’ve gone without for a long time.
While this work invites real connection, it’s not an open invitation to my body.
I care deeply about the men I work with. I want you to feel safe, seen, and fully received.
But I’m just one person—and I can’t become everything to everyone. I can’t offer friendship or more to everyone I touch. That’s not rejection. It’s how I protect my own energy, capacity to give, and ability to stay fully open and present with you.
If something big arises—emotionally, physically, or energetically—you’re not alone. Some people feel a profound calm. Others describe the release like an emotional earthquake—pressure leaving the body in a sudden wave.
If you want to explore meaning or delve deeper, I recommend working with a qualified therapist.
My role is to let your body speak and offer tools to stay connected, but I'm not a psychiatrist and won't offer interpretation or give mental guidance. Just talking, sharing, or venting can be helpful though and I'm always happy to listen! I genuinely love hearing what this work brings up for you.
Touch on any body part is meant to bring awareness and bring about release of deep-seated energy, not to sexually gratify, please understand the difference. I understand in today's culture that with certain areas people have a hard time experiencing touch and presence without confusing it. Especially with gay men and shame or stigma associated in these areas, I understand, and it's my responsibility to maintain the boundary. I don't want you to take this as an excuse to intentionally do anything or control any outcome, but when releases come they are involuntary ( sounds, words, crying, shaking, twitching, thrusting of hips). There's no faking it, I know what's going on and don't want you to stress. When your body is taking over I don't want you to worry about anything, or me, or if you are okay boundary wise... See it through. When I sense that's not the case I will adapt or let you know and guide you back.
A Space Beyond Judgment
These sessions are designed to be a space beyond what external influences condition us consider certain thoughts, feelings, emotions, beliefs, or behaviors. Whatever comes simply is. Suppression or avoidance of parts of ourselves often leads to dysregulation and disconnection.
It takes time to build trust, but please know: I don’t judge. Many of the things we fear, we may not even be conscious of, and they can manifest in complex ways. The mind often goes to great lengths to obscure the source of pain, especially in cases of trauma or dissociation, where blocking memory was once a survival mechanism. We are wired for survival first—our brains prioritize safety and coherence over accurate recall.
The Mind and Its Stories
The human mind is a storyteller. When it doesn’t have all the information, it fills in the blanks. This can protect you, but it can also create narratives that feel true yet don’t reflect the full picture. Under stress, the part of the brain that organizes coherent memory (the hippocampus) can shut down, while the amygdala and nervous system stay highly active.
That’s why when you experience something overwhelming—whether in childhood or adulthood—the memory may not be stored as a clear story. Instead, it gets encoded as fragments: sensations, emotions, or sudden reactions. This is why you may feel strong emotions, tension, or waves of energy long after the event, without fully understanding why. It’s not that the memory is gone—it’s that your nervous system stored it differently to help you survive at the time.
In this way, our inner “narratives” can be as misleading as outer ones. Just as AI can now generate convincing but false images, videos, and voices, the mind can generate convincing but incomplete stories to make sense of experience. History itself is full of repeated narratives that became “truth” through acceptance rather than accuracy. The same process happens inside us: the story may not be exact, but the emotion is real.
The Truth Within
This is why what matters most is the felt emotion itself—the energy moving through you. What’s real in the moment is not always the story, but the sensation, the wave, the truth your body is carrying.
When emotions are felt and expressed instead of suppressed, your nervous system can begin to regulate itself, reducing stress and building resilience.
Instead of running from these emotions, welcome them with open arms. Recognize them as parts of you that once carried you through a difficult time and kept trying to protect you, even if the strategy no longer serves you. Embrace them, feel them, and allow them to retire.
If you feel called to this work, I welcome you into a space of safety, presence, and compassion—where all of you is allowed to be seen.
