Somatic Spiritual Companion

Embodiment is our birthright.

Our bodies know how to heal.

Our bodies are wise.

Trauma is anything that is too much, too fast, and too soon. The charge may get stuck in our bodies, showing up as symptoms, confusion or a sense of being stuck.

Living as a human being in this messy world is fraught with tension, confusion and trauma.

AND…

Living as a human being in this messy world is full of beauty, wholeness and connection with ourselves, the Divine and others.

All of it is here.

One day, as a child, I fell deeply in love with a bright green inch worm. We played together for hours. Later, I connected with an octopus at the local aquarium. She turned a multitude of colors as she gently wrapped her tentacles around my hand and forearm.

As a child, I felt most alive jumping from boulder to boulder, as I explored the banks of the Sandy River. Emerald forests of fern and moss surrounded me. Living trees were my guardians. This was my support.

Home was scary.

Home was tension, conflict and confusion.

Home did not feel supportive.

Home asked me to worship a God who felt scary.

As a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner in training and a Spiritual Companion, I work with clients holistically. Your spirituality matters. Your body, emotions, energy and soul matter. We work together to help you through life transitions, integrate past wounds, emotional pain and traumas.

Somatics is not just your nervous system. It’s also your cells, muscles, bones and the spaces between. It’s the meaning you make. It’s the images that arrive. It’s the stories and reframing of those stories. It’s your spiritual understanding.

Your body is wise. Your body is guide. You are a Sacred Being.

Somatic Spiritual Companioning is about working with what emerges in the time we have together.

Reach out to me for a FREE hour-long consultation. Bring your questions and curiosities.

I work on a sliding scale from $80-$130 per hour.

It would be an honor to accompany you on your journey.

I look forward to hearing from you.

"I highly recommend April as a compassionate and discerning Spiritual Companion. She provided a safe space and guided me through grief and loss, offering deep listening and knowledge of somatic practices. With her help, I connected with my inner self and found peace. Her wisdom, strength, joy and presence are truly remarkable.”
