FAQ

  • WHY CHOOSE SOMA® STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION?

    In the world of structural integration, Soma® is the most deeply integrative practice.

    Soma® helps clients feel better by getting them tuned in to their core body, its feelings, sensations, and movement patterns.

    Through mindful session work and simple, rewarding take-home practices, Soma® clients heal and prevent future pain and injury as well.

    Soma results last and last!

  • WHAT’S A SOMA® SESSION LIKE?

    Sessions run between 90-120 minutes.

    You will spend roughly 60-90 minutes on the table, receiving that session’s bodywork.

    The remainder of the session is spent building new awareness and practicing healthy movement.

    Between sessions, Soma® work invites you to invest time in your own healing. You can expect "homework" outside the session. It’s optional, of course, but designed to encourage new healthy movement habits that allow clients to own the benefits of this exceptional, healing bodywork.

    This is bodywork that feels good, and helps you feel better every day!

  • WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

    Because sessions include bodywork, active & passive stretching, and movement education, all clients wear loose, comfortable running shorts, and a non-binding tube top or camisole, as personal modesty & current draping practices indicate.

    I do have extras to share if you forget yours!

  • WHAT DO SESSIONS COST?

    Soma sessions cost $200. Holistic massage and Somassage® cost $100- for an hour and $150- for ninety minutes. Tax included. Cash, check and Venmo accepted.

    I do not blll health insurance, but am happy to prepare a superbill for you to submit.
