Over ons
Welcome to those of you seeking change, healing, and transformation or maybe just more aliveness and joy. This virtual group is for people interested in personal or professional transformation through connecting with the wisdom of the body. The word Soma means whole body and in Somatics, we view breakthrough change as happening not when one gains enough new insights and knowledge about an issue or pattern, but rather when one engages in new practices that transform who we are at the physical level as well.
This group will include dialogue, discussion, and practices that help you build your relationship with your body, connect with what is important to you in your life, and increase resilience for managing life stressors.
I am a Somatic Coach and Pain Reprocessing Therapist, and I have a therapeutic background as well. I completed my MSW in 2011 and worked with survivors of domestic and sexual violence and folks who have experienced various kinds of trauma. I'm trained in Polyvagal theory, Strozzi Somatics, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and Somatic Internal Family Systems. My work is especially focused on LGBTQ+ folks and people experiencing chronic illness/pain/disability, though I welcome all people interested in transformation through the body.

Welcome to the group!
Warmly,
Kristina Armenakis
