Unlock Your Body's Wisdom: Somatic Practices for Personal Transformation

In this immersive workshop, you will learn about somatic work and why it’s an essential, yet often missing part on our self-development, healing, and growth journey. “Somatic” means “relating to the body”, so somatic work involves movement practices that strengthen the mind-body connection.

In the first part of the workshop, Anna will dive into the importance of nervous system regulation, how different types of movement can help release stored emotions and trauma from the body, and how we can bring together both somatic and mindset practices to accelerate our own transformation.

You will learn powerful tools you can integrate into your daily life to regulate and repattern your nervous system, release what’s no longer serving you, and ultimately create more balance, freedom, connection, and joy in your life.

During the second part, you will experience those tools for yourself as Anna will guide you through a powerful somatic release practice. This practice involves accessing and releasing emotions like anger, sadness, and grief through combining breath, sound, and movement, shaking, screaming, punching a pillow, intuitive dancing, and other intuitive movements and sounds.

(Bring a journal and pen, and wear comfortable clothes to move in!)

If you’ve tried all the mindset work — from meditation and journaling to manifestation and positive affirmations — but still feel stuck or unfulfilled in certain areas of your life, this workshop will bring you clarity and the missing piece to letting go of old, self-sabotaging patterns and stepping into your true power.

Whether you're new to somatic work or already practicing it, this workshop offers a supportive, safe, and nurturing space to deepen your understanding and experience of embodied living. Join Anna on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation through tapping into your body’s wisdom!

Read what previous participants said about this workshop:

“Anna’s amazing workshop on somatic practices for personal transformation was honestly life-changing. Over these three hours I was able to let go of so much fear, anger, and other negative emotions that had been stuck in my body. The theoretical part was super useful, and I took a ton of notes that I keep getting back to. But the practical part? Absolutely mind-blowing. The exercises and guided practices really helped me release and feel a new sense of freedom. It was such a powerful experience, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for some deep, meaningful transformation and personal growth.”

“I am so grateful for the opportunity to learn from Anna’s wealth of embodied experience and knowledge about holistic health and somatic healing. She did an incredible job simplifying complex information and holding space for a transformational emotional release practice at The Center. Her energy, compassion, knowledge and experience created a beautiful opportunity to move through unprocessed anger, resentment, sadness and come back to my joy and gratitude in community. I got really clear on my desire to stay more in the present with my partner, rather than letting my fears from the past create tension.”

“This workshop was so informative and transformational. Even within one session I noticed a difference in how I approach my emotions, and my capacity to feel through hard feelings. Not only was Anna so informative and educational, she was also able to create such a powerful and safe environment to feel safe and comfortable feeling whatever we needed to feel. I would recommend this workshop to anyone going through tough feelings, wanting to get more in touch with themselves, or even just wanting to recenter and ground themselves in their healing journey.”

“Anna’s workshop was truly incredible. She has an exceptional talent for creating a safe space to explore the inner workings of yourself, while providing an atmosphere of openness with others. Coming into her second workshop, I knew very little about somatic work and practices, and Anna made it friendly for all levels. She showed me new ways to address myself in the past, present, and future, all of which can be integrated across several aspects of my life. I am so thankful!”
