I trust the wisdom of your body...

As a Somatic Practitioner, I work at the intersection of bodywork and neuroscience.

I support your nervous system to heal and unwind tension patterns, trauma, and unprocessed emotion on a cellular level. This is possible through a skillful synthesis of breath, sound, movement, touch, visualization, attunement, and embodied consent. When the nervous system is restored, we find greater capacity for choice, authenticity, aliveness, and intimacy.

Ways I Can Support You

1:1 Sessions

(virtual and in-person)

These bodies are such tender creatures full of wisdom to heal when met with gentle presence, respect, and guidance. I speak and listen in the language of your body and teach you to do the same. Together we’ll play in paradox, unwind tension, honor what’s ready to be released, and cultivate the conditions mind-and-body for you to experience what you what you most desire.

We work with the body using techniques such as mindful noticing, movement, art, parts work/IFS, visualization, hypnosis, and tapping/EFT. These session are typically virtual as I work with clients all over the world.

As a bodyworker, I also provide in-person sessions that may include a variety of techniques such as body mapping or body dearmouring (a fusion of acupressure, breathwork, visualisation, sound, and emotional release).

As memories and tension patterns are released its not uncommon to experience immediate relief from pain, openness and lightness in the physical and emotional body.

If you’d like to explore 1:1 sessions (virtual or in-person) grab a time on my calendar and let’s talk. Consultations are free.

Sessions for Partners

Partnership of any variety can bring alive our cellular memory around topics of trust, freedom, power, safety, attachment, voice, choice, boundaries, and belonging. I work with partners of all configurations (monogamous, non-monogamous, polyamorous, straight, and queer) to support gentle exploration of how these topics live in our individual bodies and in the connection. This approach allows us to navigate relational challenges with more honesty, safety, and compassion. The side-effects are more ease in the connection, a softer lens through which to see the other, and expanded capacity for pleasure, intimacy, creativity, and depth in partnership.

Group Sessions

Group work can be a powerful catalyst to notice our relational patterns, lean in to growth edges, build communication skills, and understand ourselves and eachother more deeply. I facilitate group experiences online and in-person that center authentic communication, nervous system mapping, boundaries, consent, and playful exploration.

Trainings for Teams

In addition to nurturing the first Authentic Relating community of practice of over 150 folks into my hometown, I’ve facilitated over 200 events and relational experiences both in-person and online ranging from 2 to 120+ participants. I use the tools of Authentic Relating and Circling along with somatic and co-regulation practices to support folks to cultivate trust and meaningful connection while exploring topics like deep listening, safety, embodied boundaries, purpose, creativity, and play. 

I work with groups, leaders, and facilitators to teach practices that foster conscious communication, regenerative conflict resolution, psychological safety, and relational leadership. I’ve facilitated events and trainings at numerous companies and organizations including Power HRG, Authentic Revolution, Southern Growth Studio, The Connection Institute, Delta Groove Yoga, Kalapa Experience Weekend, Institute for the Study of Somatic Sex Education, Connection Collaboratory, Mindful Society Global Institute, and the Shelby County School’s Trauma Intervention Support Team.

What is a somatic session like?

Here’s some feedback from group participants and private clients:

  • Allie

    “I accomplished more in 2 months working with Whitney than I did in 12 years of talk therapy combined.”

  • Paul

    “My body has never felt like this in my entire life. Even my ears, fingertips, hair feels alive. I thought I lived in my body before, but after this session, I think I’m actually present in my body for the first time... I didn’t even know it was possible to feel like this.”

  • Simone

    “To say the least it was amazing, warm, and awakening. Whitney’s presence is really quite inviting and reassuring. I was so impacted by the way she led the session, by the warmth, invitation, and vulnerability. I felt very safe, and that’s saying a lot for me.”

  • Isaac

    “I really love how Whitney sets up a safe container and I love her facilitation style. She is so gentle and aware and caring and clear. The event was exactly what I hoped for and more.”

  • Nathan

    “I really enjoy Whitney's capacity to offer authentic training and how her events create new potential in me on ways I can show up in connection with myself and others.”

  • Kai

    “Just appreciation. I feel warm-hearted and I have a smile on my face AND I gently understood more about myself from this session.”
