Hi friend, I’m Shai :-)
I’m a trauma and somatic specialist who transformed my own pain and anxiety into a path of healing. From my personal journey, I’ve learned that healing isn’t a one-size-fits-all process; it demands a complex, gentle and comprehensive approach. This understanding drives my dedication to offering my clients a range of therapeutic modalities, tailored to foster their unique growth and recovery.
With advanced qualifications in physical therapy, pain reprocessing therapy, somatic exploration, nervous system regulation, and reflex integration, I bring a wealth of expertise to my practice.
My journey into healing began with my own personal struggle. For nearly two decades, I faced debilitating chronic pain and anxiety that prevented me from living the life I desired. Simple activities like standing for more than five minutes would trigger back pain, and my anxiety kept me trapped in a cycle of fight/flight and shutdown. The healthcare system’s lack of support left me feeling dismissed and ignored.
Discovering somatic work was a game changer for me. It empowered me to regain my inner strength, learn to work with my emotions, and overcome chronic pain. Now, I’m dedicated to helping others find their path to healing, navigate anxiety, and cultivate more joy in their lives.
When I’m not working with clients, I’m deeply committed to my own ongoing healing journey. I also relish my hobbies, including hiking, reading, cooking, exploring plant life, and creating art.
All ways to work with me are FSA/HSA approved.
