HEALING SESSIONS
(remote or in person)


~PHYSICAL THERAPY & PRIVATE YOGA: Dr. Somer offers in-person or virtual sessions to help one with structural alignment, common muscle imbalances and rehabilitating their body with a combination of Yoga and Physical Therapy. She also teaches Kundalini Yoga, which is Yoga for the energy body, as well as Kundalini Meditation, which is a more active style of meditation and great for beginners.

~HYPOPRESSIVE BREATHING & LOW PRESSURE FITNESS: Dr. Somer teaches individual in-person or Skype sessions and workshop for this revolutionary breath and postural method, which decreases pressure in the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities (the opposite of traditional core work). It is a paradigm shift in how we approach core and pelvic floor recovery. This rehab method is ideal for: - Poor posture and breathing patterns - Core dysfunction, back pain or neck pain - Preparing the body for pregnancy - Pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis recti or hernia - Pelvic floor disorders, such as incontinence - Decreasing waist size & flattening abdominals - Improving circulation and athletic performance

~CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY: CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch, CST improves the functioning of the central nervous system, complements the body's natural healing processes, bolsters resistance to disease and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction. In-person session required.

~SOMATOEMOTIONAL RELEASE: A process where the therapist facilitates a dialogue that supports the connection between the client and their own subconscious mind to release stuck emotions stored in the body. It also helps to connect one to their intuition and help you get clear on what and where you are holding stagnant energy in the body. This can be an in-person or phone session.

~VISCERAL MANIPULATION : A manual therapy consisting of gentle, specifically placed manual forces that encourage normal mobility, tone and inherent tissue motion of the viscera (organ), their connective tissue and other areas of the body where physiologic motion has been impaired. Tissues lose their normal motion when they become inflamed. Many factors can cause tissue inflammation including infections, direct trauma, repetitious movement, diet, environmental toxins and emotional stress. "90% of musculo-skeletal issues have a visceral component." - Jean Pierre-Barral

~REIKI HEALING: (Pronounced ray-key) A Japanese energy healing technique used for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. The body and mind store patterns of negative thoughts, as well as energy blocks. This can lead to chronic illness, anxiety and depression. Reiki removes these energy blocks and assists in shifting these patterns. It also reduces stress, anxiety, grief, pain, swelling and discomfort due to medical procedures. This can be an in-person or distant Reiki can be performed during a phone session, usually alongside a SomatoEmotional Release session.

TESTIMONIALS


"At some point in our lives, we all need help. We need somebody to lift us from the darkness and show us the light. We need a friend to believe in us when we have lost hope. When I was living on Kaua’i, Dr. Somer was the help I needed. I was stuck in my trauma and I was overwhelmed by my bipolar diagnosis. I found Somer at one of the lowest points in my life. After taking a class with Somer, I learned that she was so much more than a Kundalini teacher, but also this amazing healer having studied many modalities. I began working with Somer to heal my old traumas and reconnect to my inner truth. During one of our sessions, I remember lying down on the table and suddenly my body jolted up into a seated position, I looked at her in the eyes and said, “I am not bipolar anymore. That was just a phase of my life.” It was over two years ago that I made that statement. Since then I have not had a manic or depressive episode.⁣" - J.R.

“The CranioSacral work I received from you was profound for me. You are a channel for energy that can gracefully receive, transform and emit energies at the Highest level. You are connected, grounded and gentle as you naturally flow and create a pathway for others to flow with you. Absolutely incredible and I am grateful for your Light.” -S.S.

"I am really, really appreciating your website. I have practiced some yoga, but mostly your meditation videos. The one entitled for "Absolutely powerful energy" truly did help me come into my own power on a day where I could have let my head float up into the clouds and get lost when I needed to be grounded here on earth. The meditation for the healing of past childhood angers and the difference I feel is amazing and made more receptive to healing. I really appreciate your energy in your videos, you give instructions so fluidly, it is very easy to follow with you!" -D.P
