Rest as resistance will never look perfect. Some weeks it might be a full day off; other weeks it might be three extra breaths in the car before going inside. Sometimes it looks like saying no; sometimes it looks like letting someone help you carry the load. It’s okay if part of you still panics when you slow down. That’s what happens when a system trains you to equate stillness with danger or failure.

If Soma Roots Therapy were a sandwich, “Body Trust” would be the artisanal bread—chewy, nourishing, and maybe a little bit wild around the edges. (Gluten-free metaphors available upon request.)

After eight years entwined in and supported by the beautiful chaos of an ever-expanding group practice, I’m thrilled (and, let’s be honest, slightly terrified in a good way) to announce a leap into the unknown: the birth of my own practice, Soma Roots Therapy.
