Somatic Energy Therapy
online & in Louisville, Kentucky
This is your East meets West, science meets soul, esoteric meets embodied approach to mental health and wellness.
Hello & welcome!
My name is Jaime and I’m a holistic mental wellness practitioner. I’m pleased to bring you a new kind of therapy— one that integrates deep somatic listening, primal expression, nervous system care, energy work and a grounded perspective considering Western mental health.
Maybe you’re tired of talking. Maybe you’re ready to address trauma from an East meets West approach. Or maybe you’re ready to resolve your patterns where they really live: the body, the nervous system and the bioenergetic field. Whatever it is, I’d love to chat and see how I may be of support in your process.
This isn’t psychotherapy. Likely you’ve tried traditional therapy, with anywhere from little to incredible results. But you know there’s more. Talking can only take us so far. The body keeps the score. The issues live in the tissues. The spine is potent manager of our entire experience. The nervous system is boss. The energy field holds so much information, history and power. It’s time for you to recognize that power.
And your power to heal.
My approach: Somatic Energy Therapy
I use a blend of somatic/body-based communication, Energy Psychology, nervous system care, energy work and Spinal Energetics. All of this is grounded in my education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and 10+ years experience offering trauma-focused, holistic psychotherapy.
Somatic Communication
The soma is the wise body. The wise body which holds all of our “stuff”. Communicating with the body is different from communicating with the mind. Somatic Communication is a process of profound attunement and presence with the body, and deep listening to what the soma has to say. The soma can tell our stories in ways words never could. Often that’s all the soma wants: an opportunity to express in its own language.
Spinal Energetics
Spinal Energetics is an East meets West modality that interacts with your spine, nervous system and energy field to access your innate, primal wisdom to heal. Through light yet powerful touch and often non-touch/energy field contact, your organic flow of movement, breath and sound initiates. This flow progresses to shift, unwind, discover and release tension, resistance and history that may be stored in the body. (Yes, Spinal Energetics can be practiced at a distance/online and is quite potent this way!)
Energy Work
Energy work or energy healing, is a therapeutic practice which interacts with your subtle energy: the bioenergetic field (your aura), meridians (your energy pathways), and chakras (your high-traffic hubs of energy). I use a combination of Usui Reiki, intuitive energy healing, therapeutic touch, voice, sound and Spinal Energetics to offer a unique blend of energy medicine.
Energy Psychology
Energy Psychology explores the role of our subtle energy in emotion, cognition, behavior and whole health. Energy Psychology combines Eastern mind-body techniques (for example, yoga) with psychological education & practices to address emotion regulation, thought patterns, psychological distress, trauma and beyond.
Nervous System Care
The nervous system dictates our entire experience, and it is quite sensitive. Life, experiences, struggles, stress and trauma can contribute to dysfunction and un-ease in the nervous system. I utilize reiki and Spinal Energetics, grounded in polyvagal theory, to address delicate care of your nervous system. While reiki beautifully supports parasympathetic (relaxation, rest & digest) nervous system function, Spinal Energetics supports access to both parasympathetic AND sympathetic (fight or flight), offering much needed primal expression, integration and balance in the nervous system.

Our partnership
Somatic Energy Therapy is a highly collaborative approach. Our energy fields meet and dance. It is kind of like entering meditation or a psychedelic journey together. Ultimately, you are the expert on you, while I offer loving support, guidance and energetic direction.
The timeline
Like other forms of therapy, Somatic Energy Therapy isn’t made to be a one-and-done. While a single session can be profoundly effective, it’s a process and consistent work is key. You can expect significant shifts after 1-3 sessions, and a full process timeline of around three to six months of consistent work, dependent on your needs.
Pricing
Sessions are $150 for the duration of one hour. Longer intensive sessions can be scheduled. Package options are available.
