The Somatic Ceremony
A three hour ceremonial experience
This is not a standard bodywork session. It is a complete ceremonial container, held from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.
You will be welcomed with a hot foot bath and a guided arrival meditation, an intentional transition out of the pace of your day and into the space of your body. From there you move into the Somatic Swing for an AST session, suspended, fully held, and met with over two decades of attuned bodywork experience.
The second half of the session brings you to the ground, where a deeply integrated blend of Thai bodywork, Osteo Thai, and structural work continues the process begun in the swing. Rooted in traditions studied under master teachers over 20 years, this grounded work meets the body with the same precision and care as the aerial work, reaching tissue, releasing held patterns, and supporting the nervous system to complete what it began in suspension.
Before you leave you will receive embodiment practices and tools to carry the work forward, sometimes movement practices, sometimes self-bodywork practices from the AST curriculum, sometimes simply the awareness of what your body now knows. There is always tea, and always time to integrate before you go.
People leave having met something in themselves they didn’t know was waiting.

“The best way I can describe her body healing is awakening love in every cell, mobilizing spirit and energy through muscles and bones, waking up dormant parts, melting away tensions or pain.”
