The Body versus The Soma: Understanding the Difference

Most somatic trainings teach you that when you offer somatic therapy, you’re working with the body.

But you’re about to discover why client shifts don’t have staying power when you work with ‘the body’ instead of the soma (and just how much changes when you understand the difference)

You're trained, you’re skilled, and you care deeply about your clients. You've learned powerful somatic techniques, and they work... to a point.

But what about when your clients' shifts don't hold – chronic pain returns, stress patterns come back, trauma responses resurface – even when you're doing everything 'right'?

You're missing the distinction between working with 'the body' and working with the soma – and that difference really matters.

In this free guide, you’ll discover:

  • The fundamental difference between ‘the body’ and ‘the soma’ – and why most somatic training doesn’t teach (or even touch on) this crucial piece of somatic wisdom

  • Why treating techniques as body-based keeps your clients stuck in temporary relief (and what shifts when you work with the soma instead, and expand what those techniques mean and do)

  • A guided self-exploration to experience the difference in your own soma (which is where all my training has you start!)
