Private Somatic Sessions
with
Michelle Gallagher Escobar, MA
Women's Somatic Practitioner
I am a somatic guide with training in Somatic Anxiety Therapy, Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness, and Somatic Experiencing®. I currently offer one-on-one sessions designed to help women tune in to the wisdom of their body. Grounded in nervous system regulation, each session is customized to meet you where you are in the present moment.
This may be for you if:
-
You feel overwhelmed, frozen, or tense, and want to explore beyond talking about it and begin to listen to what your body is holding.
-
You want to feel more at home in your body.
-
You carry stress that feels trapped.
-
You want guided one-on-one somatic support for navigating anxiety, stress, or disconnection.
-
Talk therapy alone isn't working.
What to expect:
Each 1-hour session is attuned to your individual needs. We'll begin with a brief check-in before moving into slow, intuitive somatic practice that supports your nervous system. The sessions are gentle and responsive to what arises naturally within you.
-
No experience needed: You will be guided every step of the way.
-
No performance pressure: I do not prescribe homework or take-home techniques.
-
Embodied awareness: Our focus will be on noticing what is waiting to be recognized within, rather than analyzing or intellectualizing.
-
Gentle & un-hurried: You will never be pushed, judged, or categorized.
-
No exercise or fitness focus: Sessions do not involve fitness, weight loss, appearance goals, or workouts.
-
Movement is gradual: I do not incorporate active movement or dance flow until we are well-established (after multiple sessions), and only if it directly aligns with your ongoing needs.
-
Trauma-sensitive & no-touch: This is a no-touch space, focusing entirely on slow verbal guidance for embodied awareness.
This is a supportive process focused on nervous system stabilization. It is not a substitute for clinical mental health or talk therapy. I am not a licensed mental health therapist, and I do not offer diagnoses, insurance billing, or clinical treatment.
This work is deeply personal and resonant to me. I know what it’s like to carry stress, grief, trauma, and anxiety in the body and not know where to begin. Somatic practice has been a pathway of healing, and I am honored to share it.
