Michelle Gallagher Escobar, MA
Somatic Practitioner
Guided one-on-one support for women navigating anxiety, stress, overwhelm, or disconnection, grounded in body-based tools for regulation and reconnection.
From my home studio in Hilo on the Big Island of Hawai‘i
I’m a Certified Somatic Practitioner offering one-on-one sessions designed to help you come home to your body. My work is grounded in nervous system regulation and somatic awareness, with each session customized to meet you exactly where you are.
If you’ve tried therapy, self-help tools, or mindset work and still feel stuck…
If the same emotional patterns keep repeating…
If you’re exhausted from thinking your way through everything…
Your body may be holding the key.
We live in a world that teaches us to override our needs, suppress our feelings, and ignore the wisdom of the body. Over time, this disconnection can build into anxiety, numbness, overwhelm, or shutdown. My role is to help you slow down, reconnect, and gently release what you’ve been carrying.
This may be for you if:
• You feel overwhelmed, frozen, or tense, and talking about it isn’t enough
• You want to feel more at home in your body
• You carry stress and/or anxiety that feel trapped or unprocessed
• You want to understand and move what you’re feeling
• You’re ready to tune inward, stop overthinking, and trust your body
What to Expect
Each 45-minute session is attuned to your individual needs. We’ll begin with a short check-in before moving into somatic practices that support nervous system regulation and gentle release. Forty-five minutes offers enough time for meaningful depth, while remaining short enough to feel manageable and not overwhelming.
You don’t need any prior experience—just willingness. I’ll explain everything and stay with you throughout.
My approach is gentle and holistic. You will never be pushed or analyzed. There’s no pressure to perform, no need to explain everything in words. You can arrive exactly as you are.
What this is not:
• Not psychotherapy or a substitute for mental health treatment
• No diagnoses, insurance billing, or clinical treatment
• Not focused on fitness, weight loss, or appearance
About Me
I hold a Master of Arts in Dance with a focus on body awareness, as well as training and certification in Somatic Anxiety Therapy. While I’m not a licensed mental health professional and don’t provide diagnoses, prescriptions, or clinical treatment, my work focuses on how stress and anxiety live in the body—and how we can gently shift those patterns, one step at a time.
This work is deeply personal to me. I know what it’s like to carry stress and anxiety in the body and not know where to begin. Somatic practice has been a path of healing in my own life, and I want to share that space of possibility with other women.
The Fine Print
• I’m a certified practitioner, not a licensed mental health therapist
• I do not offer diagnosis, prescriptions, or medical advice
• I do not accept insurance
• I can help you find a licensed therapist if needed
• I believe you are the expert of your own body
• Healing isn’t something I “do” to you—it’s something we create space for together
• My purpose isn’t fixing or finding answers, but opening space, noticing what’s ready to shift, and growing from there
