Somatic Therapy

for adults, teens, & relationships

Change is inevitable, and healing is possible.

Shallyn Wells, offers somatic therapy and eco-therapy to adults, teens, and couples in California

Welcome

I’m Shallyn.

I’m a somatic therapist.

I work with adults, teens, and relationships.

My approach is relational, gentle, body-centered, and collaborative.

 

I, most often, work with folks who don’t feel at ease in their bodies. This can look a lot of different ways, but the folks who tend to find their way to somatic work with me are often navigating their relationship to or society’s relationship to:

  • living with chronic illness as a teen or adult

  • queerness & gender identity

  • burnout, overwork, & career transitions

  • grief, loss, & change

  • attachment patterns in relationships

  • relationship models & transitions

  • oppression trauma

  • anxiety/panic, depression, CPTSD, & PTSD
