"Working with Leela has helped me understand myself better and heal old wounds and trauma from my past. Her somatic training has helped improve how I ground myself both in and out of our sessions. I have never worked with somebody as skilled as Leela. She has incredibly broad background. Beyond her work as a skilled somatic therapist her tools include, healing astrological readings and body work. I can’t recommend her enough! " - Elizabeth, Somatic Therapy client 
"Leela provides a sacred container for deep healing during our sessions. Her ability to meet me as I am in each moment is otherworldly. With expansive love, curiosity and embodied wisdom, Leela guides me into my body where I most need to be in order to heal. Her gentle guidance and playful spirit have helped break down 40 years of brick wall defenses inside my soul. Leela is a magical gift and I’m so grateful to work with her. She has helped me learn that self compassion will not actually kill me. With humor and grace, Leela has introduced me to my committee of parts and allowed them to each be seen, held and eventually released. Through my work with Leela I have discovered my deep roots and am learning to honor and nourish them." - Katie, Somatic Therapy Client

Sessions


​I offer hour, hour & a half, and two hour long sessions.  Depending on availability, sessions are either conducted virtually (phone or video), or in person in Brattleboro Vermont. 

Each session is tailored to you and your needs, but generally we begin with a somatic grounding practice, followed by a time for you to share about whats alive in your process and what you'd like to focus on in the session. We'll explore your process through a mix of somatic parts work, EFT, somatic practice, movement, and mindfulness. Sometimes in person sessions may include hands on work (biodynamic craniosacral, stillness touch, & somatic bodywork).

Sessions end with integration such as meditation, biodynamic craniosacral, restorative yoga, or a gentle somatic practice. You will leave with a recommended practice to use on your own to help integrate the session.
