Below the references is a list of some somatic (body-oriented) practitioners who help manage stress and heal trauma. For those of you wanting one-on-one somatic coaching with one of us, you can contact Carlee Adamson here and Anouk Shambrook here. Anouk’s healing work includes somatic work and working with unconscious parts of your personality using the Aware Ego process.
