Somatic Therapy
for adults, teens, & relationships
Change is inevitable, and healing is possible.
Welcome
I’m Shallyn.
I am a relational somatic therapist.
I work with my clients—adults, teens, and couples alike—gently and collaboratively to move towards more ease in their bodies, their relationships, and their lives.
“To pay attention: this is our endless and proper work.”
— Mary Oliver
Who I work with
I work with people who want to feel more at ease in their bodies, in their relationships, and in their lives.
I specialize in offering somatic support in the following areas:
trauma (PTSD, C-PTSD, Developmental Trauma, and Oppression Trauma)
living with chronic illness or chronic pain as a teen or adult
recovering over-thinkers, overachievers, and/or perfectionists
identity exploration (gender, sexuality, etc.)
anxiety, panic, dissociation, and depression
grief, loss, and change
burnout at school or work
conflict, communication issues, and changes in relationships
We work together, moving at the “speed of trust,” to be with your body’s experience as it unfolds in the present moment.
There will be space to notice your thoughts, emotions, and sensations and let them guide us towards what wants to be held in the space we share together.
We get to invite in company where there’s been isolation, curiosity where there’s been judgment, and patience where there’s been urgency—in the doses and at the pace that your body can take it in.
How we work
Our work together will hold space for what’s hard while also inviting us into connection with the
joy
play
transformation
multiplicity
embodiment
resilience
relationship
wonder
pleasure
awe
liberation
healing
that is already available, already here, already happening.
“Only deep attention may notice the exquisite richness beyond the surface merits, the shy peculiar details by which we matter to ourselves.”
