Somatic Therapy for Women
Feminine Embodiment. Nervous System Regulation. Body Love.
Virtual 1:1 Sessions for Women
Feminine Embodiment Coaching rooted in Somatics, Nervous System Regulation & the female form.
Our intuition is our felt-sense instincts. It’s the intelligence of our bodies.
This is the power of feminine embodiment — it’s claiming a life led by our deepest, primal knowing as women, every step of the way.
Regulate your nervous system by becoming deeply attuned to your body, addressing burnout, and building your capacity to enjoy the messiness and beauty of life.
Learn to trust your body, to love your body, and to relish in it.
What women are saying….
"I found it soul-transformative. Like losing 10lbs of energetic baggage, which literally felt like losing physical weight. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the impact was surprisingly powerful."
"I love the trust and the complete safety I feel when working with you, Abby. You facilitate gentle love and guidance into the somatic experience. You provide an opportunity for deeply profound work."
"I have never taken this approach with myself before, I can tell my mind/body is very receptive to it, it was almost like I was being heard in a way I had never experienced before, it was a new way to listen and nurture myself. I had VERY big shifts in each of the sessions. It felt like I could just breathe, drop in, and listen and feel the magic :) Honestly, I feel like we were in person, it felt like you knew what was happening, just like when I had in-person energy-bodywork sessions with you years ago, it was awesome!"
Every single thought, emotion, or experience we have has a physical sensation that arises with it.
Someone breaks our heart, and our heart space physically aches. Tears are coming, and our throats clench shut. We get excited, and a tingly feeling of levitation runs up our body. We get nervous, and maybe a wave of heat rushes through our body, and our palms get sweaty. We get triggered, feel mistrust, and our voice and poster changes. There is a physiological response that happens with every experience, thought, and feeling.
Our bodies speak, and our bodies are primal. They can’t mask their feelings like our minds can.
Instead of going into why these responses are happening and into what is triggering them, we go into the feeling of them, and give them the space to lead. And when you are taught how to use your breath, touch, sound, and movement in specific ways to dance with the intelligence of these physiological responses, you might be shocked by the wisdom, guidance, and insight that comes.
We may feel the way we do, or react the way we do, because of our past experiences, so focusing on the moment can still touch the imprints of the past, but it's centered on what is affecting us today. Somatics is focused on the sensations or patterns that are alive in the moment, because this is how our nervous system expresses itself, and this is how we redirect it, or nourish it in a way we can't through the mind.
We are focusing on the body instead of the story because this is how we rewire our physiological responses and patterns that are running our lives.
It doesn’t matter what you think, or how you think you should feel, if your body doesn’t feel the same way.
The story matters less than the sensation and experience that comes with it in the very moment. This doesn’t mean that in sessions there’s no attention towards our thoughts or emotions, or that sharing or speaking, or that speaking and being heard, felt, and witnessed isn’t part of it – it’s that it’s not isolated to this.
We are so used to keeping ourselves busy, our minds moving and occupied, that we’ve distanced ourselves from ourselves. We’ve lost touch with the intelligence of our bodies, and when we give them space to speak and lead, they are way more attuned to the reality we are living in than our heads.
Our heads can create all kinds of stories, but our bodies don’t lie. And coming back to our bodies, is where the answers are.
More lived experiences….
"This session gave me immediate results by releasing old, toxic stored energy from my energetic fields and the body (and emotions) both at the same time. It felt like I was unlocking stored trauma in the cells and DNA. Talk therapy can't touch that."
I've realized that taking care of myself doesn’t have to be hard, it can be so calm and gentle and nourishing, and I can still heal and move forward without so much pushing and warrior-like work, which is so nice for a change. The somatic stuff seems so gentle, and you have a very calming energy. Even though it’s virtual, it still feels like a healing session in person!"

FAQ’s
Sessions are typically 50 minutes, but they are booked for 60 to allow a 10-minute buffer as needed.
These sessions are not to treat trauma; they are deeply trauma-informed and nervous system informed, but they are not for acute active trauma.
Abby is not a licensed mental health counselor, and values being very transparent about this. She is a trauma-informed somatic educator for women and has been a body worker since 2011, specializing in women’s health through abdominal massage and pelvic floor therapy. She’s facilitated women’s circles since 2015 and has held space for a thousand+ women between circles, retreats, hybrid experiences, and 1:1 sessions over the years.
Most women have experienced trauma at some point in their lives. Things may come up in sessions, but the expectation is that you have done the appropriate work beforehand, while also knowing Abby will be fully present with you and able to refer additional or other resources as needed.
