When I was envisioning this space, I wanted to make sure there was room for my crystal bowls and all the sound healing tools I own.

I wanted to make sure I could add sound into the healing experience at any time during a session.

There’s something so incredibly magical about being enveloped in the resonance of a crystal bowl while in a meditative state.

Some people see colors, some people will feel energy moving throughout their body, for some different emotions might come up. It’s different every time and every time it’s exactly what’s needed.

On the physiological and quantum level, the water in our cells responds to the frequency of the sound emitted by crystal bowls or other sound tools. On an energetic level each frequency reacts with our inner terrain, bringing things to the surface, helping in regaining balance in the the flow of energy within us.

You can feel it when you get goosebumps when listening to evocative music. When you listen to sad music when you want to feel your feelings, or when you can add joy to your day with your favorite tunes.

That’s why I love working with sound so much, it’s a perfect compliment to all the things can get stirred up during a bodywork/energy work session. Sound can help ground, relax and create a deeper sense of connection between your mind and your body.

This is also why I’m so happy to be able to offer private meditation and sound bath spots now, too!

A session where the only goal is for you to relax, ground yourself and go deeper within yourself.

The meditation is guided specifically to your needs and what is true for you in that current moment.

The crystal bowls, pyramid, chimes and stream drum add a variety of healing sounds.

Gentle energetic tuning further helps the body unwind and clear during the process.

It’s also a great intro to see what a treatment in the studio can look like - you get to meet the space and me - the practitioner.

End of summer is the perfect time to treat yourself to a soothing self-care session.

If this sounds like something you might need, feel free to reach out in DMs or check out the booking link in my bio.

ANIMA SOMA SEPTEMBER BREAK

After not having a proper vacation in two years, I’m going on an extended break/holiday.

I will spend most of September in Poland visiting friends and family and will not be available for treatments.

If you have been on the fence about seeing me for either body work, energy work or the combo treatment - I suggest you book your session soon!

I will be gone from September 1st till October 1st.

The plan is to rest, play and rejuvenate so I can come back full of energy for holding space and helping you all out!

I will test my ability to set some work/life boundaries and will have limited work email and IG access to try to truly unplug.

I’m certain I will share lots with you once I’m back!

In the meantime business is as usual, you can see me Wednesdays and Thursdays at the studio!

If you would like to inquire or book, head to the link in the bio section or shoot me a DM!

Here’s a little story on being humbled by your body.

As I’m trying to get back to a regular exercise routine, I’ve been doing more work outs. Intentionally going slow, getting my body used to using particular muscles and being mindful of movement.

That still wasn’t enough to get schooled. Last Wednesday after a workout I felt my piriformis seize and compress my sciatic nerve - In simple terms I got a deep pain in my buttcheek that went down my leg.

As a physio/massage therapist/former kinesiologist and general fascia nerd, I through EVERYTHNG at it. Stretching, lacrosse ball release, taught my husband how to Rapid places I couldn’t reach, used a vibrating massage ball, did energy work on it. I mean, EVERYTHING. It would feel better and then go back.
As I am familar with pain science, I did everything to work with my nervous system too, trying to establish safety, keep moving and continue blood and lymph flow.

Today, I folded. I laid there and flat out asked that tight muscle “What do you need from me?”

I heard “Rest”

But how? I know laying down and not moving is not the answer. I’m also working and don’t want to cancel my clients. How can I approach this without stopping my life?

So I took to movement in a different way.
I put on slower music than usual for workouts (dopamine hits help me get pumped to move, today I chose this song) and flowed.
Started with lymph node openers, some qi gong and then went horizontal.
Pieced together a few moves from and moved intuitively.

While in the pictured position I asked that area again “What’s going on?”

“I don’t know where I am”

This wouldn’t make sense normally, except I recently realized I’m on the hypermobility spectrum and that’s part of the issue - the body lacks proper proprioreception and in turn engages muscles “just in case” for stability

But treated metaphorically, my whole self feels a little lost.
Sure, I know exactly how I want to work with people, I just opened my own space. But it’s also new territory in a way and my body was showing me what I wasn’t registering consciously.

Today was a special day.

We communed, meditated with our wombs and made art together.

I haven’t felt so in touch with myself and excited to be perceived in a long time.

Especially that I’m not in the best “shape” of my life - whatever that means anymore.

There’s something to be said about being fully accepted and cheered on by some awesome chicks in your life. Especially if they get so excited when creating that they sound like h***y male photographers 🤣

Thank you for leading us deeper into ourselves and for inspiring us to experiment with your delightful enthusiasm for photography

More days like this please!

Back to regular content tomorrow 🤣

It’s official, Anima Soma Wellness is open for business!

This is the culmination of a decade of studying, trial and error, constantly re-evaluating what’s for me and what isn’t.
I can safely say I have found MY WAY.

My way of tending to you, your body and your essence.

Gone are the days of seperating physical pain from your emotional and energetic worlds.
Care that only focuses on the painful spot and nothing beyond.

You are a whole amalgam of stories, circumstances and experiences. It’s time that someone tended to the whole picture.

I like to say my treatments fall on a spectrum.

Physical and energetic treatment aspects are always present, just in different ratios.

Soma sessions lean more towards the physical (but will always include grounding, relaxation and energy work techniques to allow the body to receive)

Anima sessions lean heavier on energy work, chakras, emotions of your organs, channeled messages and ancestral clearing (but might include body work modalities, sometimes performed on an energetic level)

Anima Soma sessions lands exactly in the middle with body work techniques and a full energy work session

Every session can be expanded by a sound bath

Private sound bath and custom meditations will give you just the right dose of relaxation needed

Distance Reiki sessions coming soon!

Your healing is yours, but it doesn’t mean you have to do it completely alone.
Allow yourself to fully receive and see how everything changes!

Anima Soma books are open!

To claim your spot follow the link in my b!o.

If you have any questions, drop me a message in the DMs and I’m happy to answer!

See you soon!
