Virtual Somatic Therapy Sessions

What Is Virtual Somatic Work?

Virtual sessions follow the same body-centered principles as in-person work: listening to the body, noticing what’s present, and developing greater awareness and regulation from within.

Many of the same verbal prompts and exploratory practices used in person translate naturally to video sessions.

Sessions may include:

• Guided self-touch

• Gentle movement or stillness

• Breath and body awareness

• Grounding and nervous system regulation practices

• Parts Dialogue

• Reparenting and inner-child exploration

• Non-dominant-hand writing and reflection

• Bilateral movement and sound

• Creative and sensorimotor art practices

• Pillows, blankets, yoga mats, journals, or other supportive objects

The virtual format lets us explore these practices in your own environment and discover what feels useful and meaningful to you.

People Choose Virtual Sessions to Explore:

• Stress, overwhelm, and anxious feelings

• Nervous system regulation and grounding

• Difficult past experiences that still feel present

• Feeling disconnected from your body or emotions

• Emotional and relationship patterns

• Boundaries and relationships

• Understanding and communicating feelings

• Reparenting and inner-child work

• Greater body awareness and connection with yourself

Your 50-Minute Virtual Somatic Session

Each session is collaborative, responsive, and shaped around what is present for you rather than a predetermined script or protocol.

A session might include body-focused dialogue, exploring sensations or emotions, grounding, movement, guided self-touch, Parts Dialogue, reparenting work, bilateral practices, or creative exploration.

We follow your cues and curiosity, allowing the session to develop around what feels relevant to you that day.

Why Clients Choose Virtual Somatic Sessions

More Accessible Somatic Work — $150

Virtual sessions are offered at a lower rate than in-person sessions, making ongoing somatic work more financially accessible while also eliminating the time and expense of traveling to Manhattan.

There’s no commute, and sessions can be easier to fit around work, family, travel, and everyday life.

The Comfort of Your Own Environment

Your session happens in a space that's already yours. Bring a blanket, pillow, journal, art supplies, or whatever helps you settle in. Your pets can hang out with you. You can sit, stand, stretch out on the floor, or change positions as we explore.

Skill Integration

• Practice techniques in the same space where you live your daily life

• Build self-regulation in real time

• Learn tools you can return to anytime—without relying on a therapy room

Bringing Somatic Practices Into Everyday Life

One of the advantages of virtual work is that the exploration happens in the same environment where you actually live.

You can experiment with grounding, movement, body awareness, self-touch, and other practices using your own chair, couch, floor, pillows, and surroundings. When something feels useful, it's already connected to a place where you can return to it later.

Is Virtual Somatic Work Right for You?

Virtual sessions may be a good fit if you:

• Live outside NYC but want to work together

• Want to avoid adding a Manhattan commute to your week

• Prefer exploring from your own environment

• Want greater scheduling flexibility

• Want a more financially accessible way to work together

• Want to combine virtual sessions with occasional Manhattan sessions

• Are interested in body-based self-exploration and personal growth

You don't need previous experience with somatic work or a special setup.

What You’ll Need

A reliable internet connection, a device with video, and a private space where you feel comfortable talking and moving.

Optional comforts might include a blanket, pillow, yoga mat, journal, or simple art supplies.

Mostly, just bring yourself and whatever is present that day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can somatic work really happen online?

Yes. Much of this work involves dialogue, body awareness, sensations, emotions, movement, grounding, Parts Dialogue, reparenting, and creative exploration — all of which can be explored through video.

Virtual sessions also allow you to explore these things in your own environment rather than recreating that environment somewhere else.

What about touch?

In virtual sessions, I may guide you in exploring optional self-touch rather than providing hands-on touch. You remain completely in control of whether and how you participate.

Can I combine virtual and in-person sessions?

Yes. If you're able to come to Manhattan, you can move between virtual and in-person sessions depending on your schedule and preferences.
