Somatic Bodywork
Somatic bodywork is therapeutic healing of the physical body through listening and attuning to the cues of your nervous system. Being able to tailor each session to the individual’s nervous system that sits in front me, adjusting throughout based on the response of your body, and its changing needs is what sets my work apart.
If you have felt unheard, disappointed, and frustrated by the standard massage, my work is for you. It listens to your body, understands the subtle shifts in a nervous system, and is not afraid to go deep. It understands how to hold the system in a trauma-informed container and strives to create a felt sense of safety for every client.
My Approach
Areas of Specialty:
Abdominal massage (for those that experience bloating, IBS, eating disorder recovery support and/or other GI issues)
Deep tissue
Traditional Thai Bodywork
Trauma healing
I am trained in Traditional Thai Bodywork and completed my licensure requirements at the Naga Center. I also have a background in Physical Therapy and have been doing bodywork for over 10 years. Client work can be done on a mat on the floor or table. My work is entirely dependent on the needs of your system.
Somatic Bodywork & Trauma Healing
The intersection between Somatic bodywork and trauma healing is beautiful art. The body stores your stories, joy, pain, and patterns. The old is asking to be released. The body speaks, I can help you listen. If you are interested in a combination session, where the focus is on both the bodywork and trauma work, that is also available.
“Juliana is amazing! I had never experienced Thai bodywork and wasn’t sure what to expect. Juliana welcomed me into a warm and relaxing environment where I immediately felt very comfortable. Juliana took the time to explain what Thai bodywork consists of, answered all of my questions and asked me what areas of my body I thought needed more focus.
The session was everything I’ve always wanted in a massage! It was a combination of stretching, pressure and movement. Juliana communicated extremely well, always checking to make sure I was comfortable.
After the session, my whole body felt noticeably more spacious, relaxed and energized. The stress in my neck and shoulders was melted away! I highly recommend Juliana for Thai bodywork. Your body will be so glad you tried it!
