Moon Somatics offers somatic coaching, divination, ritual support, ancestral healing, and relational somatic psychotherapy for people seeking deeper connection with their body, intuition, lineage, creativity, relationships, and sense of direction.

This work is grounded, relational, trauma-informed, and rooted in the understanding that healing happens through relationship with ourselves, our communities, our ancestors, and the natural world.

Relational somatic psychotherapy is a body-centered approach to therapy that understands the body as part of your story, not separate from it.

Rather than focusing only on thoughts or symptoms, this work listens to your emotions, sensations, nervous system, protective patterns, relationships, identity, culture, and lived experience. Together, we explore how past and present experiences shape the ways you protect yourself, connect with others, respond to stress, and make meaning.

The relational part means that healing happens in connection. Therapy can become a place to notice old patterns with care, build safety, and practice new ways of being with yourself and others.

The somatic part means that we include the body as a source of information and support. Sessions may include conversation, present-moment awareness, emotional tracking, body sensation awareness, parts work, reflection on relationships, and attention to what your nervous system may need in order to feel more supported.

Relational somatic psychotherapy may support people working with anxiety, trauma, grief, identity, emotional overwhelm, attachment patterns, relationship challenges, and life transitions. At Moon Somatics, psychotherapy is available only to clients located in Washington State.

Somatic coaching is a body-based healing arts approach that supports people in exploring stress, grief, emotional overwhelm, trauma patterns, creativity, identity, and disconnection from the self. Rather than only talking about what is happening, we gently listen to the body through sensation, movement, emotion, imagery, creativity, and nervous system awareness.

This work can support you in feeling more present, connected, resourced, and able to meet life with greater choice and self-trust.

Somatic coaching is not psychotherapy, diagnosis, medical care, or crisis support.

Item deHow is somatic coaching different from psychotherapy?

Somatic coaching and psychotherapy can both support growth, healing, and self-understanding, but they are not the same.

Somatic coaching at Moon Somatics is a healing arts offering. It focuses on body awareness, self-inquiry, creativity, intuition, life transitions, ritual support, and reconnecting with your own inner sense of guidance. It may be supportive if you are wanting to feel more present in your body, explore patterns with care, or build practices that help you move through life with more connection and choice.

Psychotherapy is a licensed mental health service. It can include assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, clinical documentation, and treatment for mental health concerns. Psychotherapy may be more appropriate when you are seeking clinical support for anxiety, trauma, depression, substance use, crisis, emotional distress, or relational patterns that need deeper therapeutic care.

Somatic coaching is not psychotherapy, medical care, diagnosis, crisis support, or treatment for mental health conditions. If something comes up that would be better supported through therapy, I will name that with care and can offer referrals or help you consider next steps.

At Moon Somatics, psychotherapy is available only to clients located in Washington State. Somatic coaching, stick divination, and ritual support are offered virtually, including for clients in California and beyond.

Stick divination is a spiritual and ritual practice for seeking guidance, clarity, and support. At Moon Somatics, sessions are Dagara-inspired and lineage-informed, drawing from stick divination practices from Burkina Faso, West Africa as shared through lineage-based teachers in the United States.

In session, we listen with the support of ritual, the stick, the ancestors, the Wedemé, elemental beings, and other helping presences. The session may offer insight into what is moving in your life and what kind of ritual care, action, or repair may be supportive.

A stick divination session begins by opening a ritual space with gratitude to the spirits of the land, ancestors, guides, elemental forces, and helping presences. You bring questions, themes, dreams, grief, crossroads, or areas of life where you are seeking guidance.

As the session unfolds, the divination tools help reveal what is present and what kind of ritual support may be needed. Because this is a prescriptive form of divination, you may receive personalized rituals or practices to complete afterward.

You are welcome here. You do not need to believe everything in advance or arrive with certainty. We can stay close to your lived experience, including your body, emotions, questions, intuition, and what feels meaningful to you.
