Zoe

Hi I’m Zoë (she/her). I’m a somatic coach and bodyworker. I support folks to heal and transform old embodied patterns that are keeping them from being who they want to be in the world. “Soma” is a greek work that refers to the living, moving, relational body. “Somatics” is about working with and through the body to heal and transform from the inside out. Our histories live in our muscles and tissues, as do our longings and our self-responsive impulses toward healing and growth. 

Somatic coaching is about re-building capacities for trust, connection, embodied boundaries, etc., for the sake of living more fully aligned with our desires, visions, and values. Somatic coaching is ongoing work, and can be short or long-term. Package deals are available. 

I also offer somatic bodywork, which is a gentle, hands-on approach to healing trauma and long-held emotional tension patterns. Different from massage, somatic bodywork uses breathwork, movement, touch, and guided experimentation to invite more awareness and aliveness into the parts of ourselves we may have had to forgo to preserve safety, dignity, or belonging. Individual or ongoing sessions are available.

I’ve been practicing massage therapy since 2011, and I trained with Strozzi/generative somatics from 2016-2019. I also have an MA in Embodiment studies from Goddard College, which allowed me to explore a wide range of embodied methodologies that I integrate into my practice. 

I am particularly interested in connections between embodiment and social change. I believe so much possibility opens up when we begin to heal, feel more of ourselves and the world around us, and learn to move from our longings. I love working with all kinds of people, and I specialize in working with gender-expansive folks. 

In my free time I love floating in the springs, wading through the swamps, dancing, and playing music with my friends.  To book a session or set up a free consultation, email Thirdspace.Somatics@gmail.com, or visit ThirdspaceSomatics.com
