liberatory somatics is emergent medicine
We are living through the end of the world.
Our climate is collapsing. And the ones obsessed with owning everything just extract and consume more than ever.
Facades of “goodness” long spun by systems of power are unraveling to reveal the violence and depravity at their core. People and infrastructures that seek to control through domination are tightening their grasp, distorting reality wherever they can.
This is a time of immense instability and unknown. There is also an unwavering intelligence in the Earth, in all the movements of nature, in the flora and fauna of each unique bioregion.
The forces of nature inherently move towards balance. The solutions we need — individually and collectively — reside in the wisdom of our living planet. They are unfurling through every seed and sprout. And likewise, medicine that brings balance is flowering through our bodies, minds and hearts.
Because we too, are a part of nature.
Emergent medicine is what asks to evolve through us in service to love, truth, and justice, in devotion to beauty and the sacred. It arises through our visions and dreams, and manifests in our discoveries and innovations. It moves through our hands and flows through our tongues.
Our SOMA is the unified connection of our physicality, our consciousness, our sensory-emotional experience, and the realms of our ancestry, soul, and spirit.
Our soma is our aliveness; our inhabitance through our body, and on the earth in this time. It is also the medicine that asks us to grow and BE all that we were born for.
Liberatory somatics is a practice of becoming more free, by orienting towards what we are in devotion to, what we are in service to, and engaging all facets of our beingness to be an instrument for that medicine to live through us.
Another world is possible, and together we can make it real.*

note from Muse:
In 2008, I moved from the Pacific Northwest to the high desert of New Mexico and opened my first private practice as a bodyworker. Medicine of the Feminine was the name that came to me as I crafted my very first website. At the time, I can't say I understood the layers of meaning in these words. Here's what I've learned since:
medicine
The dynamic force in all creation that inherently moves life towards balance; a living source of wisdom available in the heart of humanity and in the natural world.
Medicine is that which heals, even in death.
the feminine
The place from which intuition arises; it is the chord connecting humans to the Earth. Our feminine (yin) aspect listens, and is guided by dreams and a knowing in our bones.
It is the still voice within us that speaks the truth.
Medicine of the Feminine is:
that our bodies + nervous systems are extentions of nature + the earth
• an honoring
uniquely available through the root of our bodies + generative systems
• a study
where we utilize the everyday, the “ordinary”, to access the extraordinary
• a living school
of being in relationship with ourselves that instructs + guides our living
• a practice
