  • What is Somatic Channeling?
    Somatic Channeling is an advanced energy work modality which identifies and clears stagnant patterns of emotion, trauma and energy within the physical body, chakras and overall energy field. Leading to deep release, relaxation and integrated well-being.

    This integrative healing practice is a transformative tool for growth and expansion, drawing parallels to modalities such as Pranic Healing, Spinal Energetics, Classic Tantra, Kundalini Yoga, acupuncture and more. It facilitates deep communication and integration among the emotional, physical, mental, and energetic dimensions, empowering you to release deep energy blocks, unravel recurring patterns and regain balance.

    During a session, I sense, locate and release blockages in your energetic body (chakras, nadis/meridians, auric layers) which are usually the result of chronic stress, emotional repression and trauma. The work often translates to somatic and emotional release, as well as healing in the physical body. Each session is unique for the person receiving at the time they are receiving it, no two sessions are alike.

    What does a session look like?
    A session is 60-minutes where you lie comfortably on your back, on a massage table, covered in a blanket. Once you have asked any burning questions and are settled, we begin with a guided meditation, as you relax into the experience. Following this, I dive into the modality, channeling an energy work experience that is unique to you - as I am a conduit to co-create healing between you and the universe. I always dedicate time at the end of the session to integrate the experience together and provide intuitive guidance as desired.

    Who is Somatic Channeling for? 
    Somatic Channeling is for all those interested in experiencing transformative and healing power of channeled energy work. 

    That said, those with serious mental health conditions (e.g. untreated trauma, schizophrenia) should speak with a medical professional before engaging in this type of energy work. 

    How many sessions do you recommend? 
    This truly depends on the person. A single session can be really powerful and once experienced, most people are eager to book another one. I would recommend starting with one session to ensure this modality is the right fit for you and then booking a 3 or 6 session package. 

    Where do you offer Somatic Channeling? 
    I currently offer in-person Somatic Channeling in Toronto, Canada. You can check my booking page for current locations. If you are not located near Toronto, I incorporate Somatic Channeling into my virtual Intuitive Guidance Sessions.

    If you are interested in offering individual or group Somatic Channeling sessions at your event, I am available for travel. Please reach out to me at hannah@somasoma.ca to discuss.

    How should I prepare for a session? How can I care for myself afterwards? 

    Before

    • If possible, clear your schedule following our session, as you'll likely want to stay in the state of blissful, relaxation we create together

    • If clearing your schedule is not possible, consider rescheduling any high intensity activities for the rest of the day (e.g. high intensity exercise, big social gatherings etc.)

    • If I am coming to you, prepare a quiet space, approximately 6' x 8', where I can set up my massage table.

    • Optional: set an intention for our session, this can simply be a single word.

    After

    • Go slow and allow space to rest

    • Drink plenty of water

    • Avoid stimulants, depressants and processed foods

    • If accessible to you, go for a swim or take a bath

    • Be gentle with yourself as you process your experience - you may want to journal or simply sit in quiet reflection

    • Stay curious - notice what comes up in the days and weeks following our session, even the subtlest signs and shifts are there to tell us something

    • Reach out to me if you have any questions

    What are your qualifications?
    I studied under Taylor Bratches (Somatic Channeling Founder) and am a certified Level 2 Somatic Channeling practitioner. I have also completed the Othership 150-Hour Guide Training, PVI Polyvagal Certificate Course and am in the process of completing the Laurier Trauma Certificate (projected completion summer 2025). I am also a member of The Embody Lab and dedicated to continual skill development.

  • What is an intuitive guidance session?
    An Intutive Guidance session is a personalized, one-on-one virtual experience, where I use my  intuitive abilities to guide you through a topic of your choice, in life, love or work (or we let the universe lead us). During our time together, I may incorporate somatic practices and/or somatic channeling to provide additional insight or release. Each session is unique and designed to support your personal growth and evolution, helping you unlock new layers of inner wealth and move towards more freedom and ease. 

    Who is intuitive guidance for? 
    Anyone and everyone (especially those who cannot access my in-person services)
