Joy Somatics

Joy Somatics I help people overwhelmed by stress and tension, who want more calm in their life, befriend their body, and move and breathe better.

I help adults who are overwhelmed by nervous system dysregulation who want somatic body and breath-based solutions to restore energy, access resiliency and be present for their lives.

Habits are solutions & change begins with awareness.

Habits are our way of 'getting what we need' when we can't get what we -often unconsciously- really want.

Deepening self awareness means observing- without judgement (the tricky part) - how we behave & react while being compassionately curious about the why...

What motivates that habit?
What reinforces and maintains it?
Staying curious about why, even though this behaviour causes me suffering, do I unconsciously (and consciously) keep doing it?

Hmmm....with one hand on heart loving it.

This is the start gate for real lasting change.

Thanks to for this powerful reframe in my personal & professional life. It changed everything and influences my work everyday.

Ready for the start gate?

Why understanding breathing as behavior applies to everyone.

Especially to therapists & educational clinicians guiding breathing interventions to patients, clients & students.

Join the live, in person conversations happening over the next month.

Better Breathing for Anxiety Relief- SOLD OUT
Better Breathing for Improved Client Outcomes~ April 28- FILLING!
Better Breathing for Educators & Clinicians~ May 7

It will change the way you view your patients, clients & students & the way you support them with breathing.

Our nervous systems need more backyard & morning light. Not trending audio.

When we take care of basics: circadian rhythm, sleep, eating regular meals, tech-less mornings, evening windown, fill our senses with nature, connection....

We set a foundation for a wider window of regulation- a.k.a. a better day.

Anyone else creating new habits imperfectly?

Q: What's with all the colorful stuff Ol-over?

A: Sometimes the Breathe Room resembles romper room with all the balls and visuals to educate clients about their nervous systems in simple relateable ways, release tension & increase connection to their bodies.

We are highly visual & tactile learners and like to adapt to who we are working with- meet you where you are at & the shape you're in.

We love helping people who are feeling disconnected from their bodies, MOVE, BREATHE & CONNECT their way back to ease, presence & calm focus.

We also get just a tad silly on Fridays.

Tired of talking about it & want to connect to the felt sense of the matter? Book a free consult to learn how somatics can support you in your journey back to wellness.

Spring refresh at Joy Somatics

7 years ago when I was realized teaching more somatics & breathwork than yoga, I hired Eva Rae Creative to shift from Yoga With Joy to Joy Somatics.

🛸This was a time when 'Somatics' wasn't in anyone's search bars
🌬Breathwork wasn't mainstream yet.

It was a big leap. Eva doula'd me through a major transition in my career.

Fast forward 7 years...⏳️🚀
Still moving, breathing & connecting ~ in even more effective ways.

Be sure to check out my new website & join me in celebrating the birth of this latest evolution in helping people MOVE, BREATHE & CONNECT their way to wholeness.

📢Shout out!
Thank you EVA of Eva Rae Creative for your personalized and pro approach ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ & mostly for creating a beautiful space for my clients to land.

Need support with your business branding, logo, website copy & want to connect with a local, experienced professional who helps you navigate and plan for change?
