At My Somatic Bodywork, we offer a somatic holistic (whole person) approach to traditional massage, energy work, and Somatic Experiencing to our clients bringing body awareness which facilitates and fosters healing. Somatic (from the Greek) means 'of the body'- Greek root soma which means the living body in its wholeness relating to the body, distinct from the mind, soul, or spirit.
Mind and body have a reciprocal relationship - soma (body) affects psyche (mind) and vice versa. We see the bodymind from this perspective. Somatic bodywork honors the holistic nature of each individuals' personal experience. It honors the innate wisdom of the bodymind and uses body awareness as an essential tool during bodywork sessions.

Swedish massage is probably the most widely known massage modality. A Swedish Massage uses oil with a variety of long and gliding strokes on tired and sore muscles with the intention of providing an "all over" sense of relaxation. Swedish massage therapy is also known for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility and easing tension.
Somatic Experiencing(R) is a body-awareness approach to trauma, as developed by Dr. Peter Levine. Somatic Experiencing is "based upon the realization that the body (human beings) has an innate ability to overcome the effects of trauma" and "restore self-regulation, and returns a sense of aliveness, relaxation and wholeness to traumatized individuals who have had these precious gifts taken away."
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle yet profound non-invasive, hands-on treatment for the whole body. Performed on a massage table, the client is fully clothed and the touch is generally light and still. The treatment is focus on supporting the health of the whole being, especially the nervous system.

I got a gift certificate for a couples massage in December. I have tried to book an appointment online and for some reason their "book now "button did not work for me so I called them. They never answer their phone it is always a recording and I have left not one, not two, not three, but for messages stating I would like to book an appointment and they have never returned my call. Extremely dissatisfied and I will never never never use this company again. (not that I have actually been able to use them yet, but you know what I mean!) If I could give zero stars I would do it. I could understand

We purchased a groupon and made an appointment online. We received an email with our appointment details, and showed up to the address provided in the email 10 minutes before the appointment. The door was locked. We tried calling several times and left voicemails and stayed 30 minutes after our appointment time without successfully getting ahold of anyone. We were not notified by phone or email that our appointment was cancelled and/or needing to reschedule. At this point, I can not recommend this business at all.

I have to update my review. I did initially love going to my Somatic and working with David but that past 2 months i have Ben trying to get an appointment to no avail. I have tried through the website , my usual go to, and i also emailed and called. I don't know if they went out of business but all information I find shows that they are still in business. i change my review to a 1 because i can't get a hold of anyone or get a call back! very unprofessional

I had an appointment for a couples massage on our anniversary. They no- showed. Texted, called, emailed. Nothing. Thanks for the great anniversary.
What jerks.
Not a professional place. Dont go.
Did call 45 minutes after. Sorry did not show up in schedule right?!?! I got an email with the right date and time yesterday! He told me they can reschedule but offered nothing extra to make up for the next wasted hour.

Made an appointment online. Received a confirmation email that my appointment was all set. Got to appointment early, took the toll roads and wasted money to make sure we were there 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork. No one is at the business. We wait 20 minutes. Called the business, no answer. Left a voicemail saying I was there, to please call me back so I could reschedule. Few days later and they still never called back to apologize/reschedule/anything. Very nice lady in the same office area that offers family counseling. But unless I need counseling, never going back to that place

Absolutely 5 stars! I highly recommend both David and Stephanie for a great massage. They were both very warm and welcoming. After reviewing our concerns, they explained the type of massage they would perform. My husband and I booked a couples massage and looked forward to receiving a somatic massage for the first time. We both felt great and relaxed! We will definitely be back. THANK YOU David & Stephanie!

Small place yet really relaxing massage! Not your typical deep massage and go, David and Stephanie really sat down with us and explained what they do and where our pains or aches were at the most. Groupon brought us here and I think we will be coming more often. Definitely would recommend this place to family and friends!

Stephanie and David are incredible! They truly care about your comfort and relaxation above all. They asked me questions before and after and made it a point to target the trouble spots. The facilities were clean and relaxing and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable massage experience!

Me and my fiancé came here with a groupon for a couples massage and let me start by saying it was the best thing that has happened to us in a while!
Our experience here was absolutely amazing Stephanie and David are so great at what they do and you can tell they love their jobs.
If you have never tried somatic massage before it is a must try! I will never go anywhere else after our experience. We have even set up a plan to go every month, there amazing work has us customers for good!
If you are considering coming here definitely try it you won't regret it.

They were so welcoming and friendly! My BF and I hadn't had a professional massage in years and they explained the process fully so we were very comfortable. We had booked a couples massage and we were both so relaxed when we left. I love the feedback after the massage to explain target stress areas and any recommendations they have to relax at home (Epsom salt bath for my man for example) We will be back!

I was recommended to My Somatic Bodywork by a friend to deal with some back trauma resulting from a car accident. The massage work David and Stephanie did with me was different than any I had received in the past. The slow movements they had me do helped me let go of the trauma and tension I was holding in my back. Now, I see them for more traditional massage and body work. Highly recommend them for both types.
