I was completely burned out in my career, talk therapy wasn’t working for me, and then I found somatics. A few years later, and I’m living in a city I love, doing what I love to do: helping other people access their inner knowing.

 

Hey, I’m Rey (she/they). I bring over a decade of experience as a university professor (tenured in an English department) to my work as a somatic practitioner. Years of curriculum design, facilitating workshops, researching, and publishing give my approach a lot more depth and breadth than if I had come to this work through a different path.

 

Although my first career gave me SO much valuable experience, my creative energy was stuffed down into the deepest recesses of my being. I had someone’s dream job, but it wasn’t MY dream job. I was miserable. But I felt incredibly stuck where I was.

 

Once I got into somatic work, I could no longer ignore my gut feelings. My inner knowing got louder and louder until continuing on as an academic seemed impossible.

 

After opening that proverbial door with somatics, I did the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do: I LEFT MY TENURED ACADEMIC CAREER!!! And I have absolutely ZERO regrets (except for that I wish I had quit sooner). I got two certifications, in trauma-informed somatics and breathwork, and I started my own practice.

 

Somatics has a way of turning the volume up on your intuition. It can be kind of overwhelming at first, but the benefits are incredibly worth it, and you don’t have to do it alone. Having a guide makes the process gentle and doable. So, I’ve made it my mission to create spaces for people to do this deep, important, soul-satisfying work.
