Somatic Bodywork
In-person sessions in Portland, Oregon and online via Zoom.
Joey is a bodyworker and somatic practitioner who helps people feel more connected to their bodies.
Living in this world can be overwhelming.
Our nervous systems are not designed to take in so much information and then process it alone. So, we find ways to cope. And we often get stuck in old survival patterns.
But when we push away our feelings, we disconnect from ourselves. And ultimately, that stress gets stored in the body.
As a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with 10 years of experience as a massage therapist, I won’t help you analyze the past, but rather focus on how the past is present in your body now.
As we talk about what’s going on in your life, we’ll also explore the feelings and sensations that come up in your body. Through this process, you can gain more self-awareness, build the capacity to move through difficult experiences, and have more access to your joy.
This work is for anyone who wants to…
feel more connected to themself
increase connection with others
build resilience for these times
explore gender or sexual identity
expand creativity
unravel from old survival patterns
resolve chronic pain and stress
Testimonials
"My time under Joey's care continues long after having been on his table. That's what happens there— a kind of healing still at work in my body from which I'm still learning. It is in part due to his prowess, but also from the permission he extends to say "yes" to my entire person." J.B.
“I first came to Joey with some shoulder pain. Over the years, his touch and somatic healing have helped me release old childhood trauma and current repressed emotions hiding in my body. Joey created a space to not just physically release my trauma, but a space to emotionally process what happened and heal with a witness. I’m forever grateful for his work.” N.G.
