Private Somatic Sessions
with
Michelle Gallagher Escobar, MA
Somatic Practitioner, Dance-informed Somatic Movement Guide, Somatic Anxiety Coach
I am a Somatic Practitioner with a Certificate in Somatic Anxiety Management and an MA in Dance. I currently offer one-on-one somatic-based sessions designed to help you listen 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.
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 the body is holding.
-
You want to feel more at home in your body.
-
You carry stress that feels trapped or unprocessed.
-
You want guided one-on-one somatic support for navigating anxiety, stress, or disconnection
-
Talking alone isn't helping
What to expect:
Each 1-hour session is attuned to your individual needs. We’ll begin with a short check-in before moving into somatic practices that support nervous system stabilization.
You don’t need any prior experience. I’ll explain everything and stay with you throughout. Exercise is not a part of the session, and I don't typically incorporate dance, stretching, or music into my sessions unless requested. I do not focus on fitness, weight loss, or appearance. My approach is gentle, calm, and holistic; you will never be pushed or analyzed. You can arrive exactly as you are.
Please note: My approach is strictly low-to-no touch, focusing on verbal guidance for self-led embodied awareness. Somatic Coaching is a supportive process focused on nervous system stabilization and self-regulation. It is not a substitute for clinical mental health therapy. I do not offer diagnoses, insurance billing, or clinical treatment.
This work is deeply personal to me. I know what it’s like to carry stress, grief, 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 am grateful to share it.
