Sofiah offers private sessions in Embodying Shakti for Women, Somatic Counseling & Expressive Healing Arts, and Body Awareness/Integrative Touch.

Embodying Shakti for Women

Are you devoted to living in your truth, being guided from within, expressing the sensual empowered woman that you are?

From the way we adorn ourselves, to the way we move through the world it is time to live in our truths, to stop hiding the immense power that each and everyone of us holds and learn to express ourselves as the birthright that it is.

Embodying Shakti will help invoke and re-awaken this divine power within us all. Acknowledging the shame and beliefs that live in our body from lifetimes of being oppressed as women. We begin the session with an intention of what you want to connect with, express and experience in your life and in the dance. Guiding you into yourself with your breath and body awareness, we will explore the forms of ancient temple dance and yoga.

I am fascinated with creating shapes and telling a story with our bodies and expressions. Our bodies are the conduit for expressing the myths that live in our bodies. A fantastic way of expressing this is through body posture/ body mudras. "Mudra" is a Sanskrit word for "sealing in the energy". When we seal the energy, we are focusing the energy. Focused energy has unlimited power. We can learn to access our unlimited power through the right application and expression of these mudras. Through using mudras, solely with our hands or with our whole bodies we seal the energy of our own intention and creation.

Embodying Shakti helps in remembering and accessing the feminine power and creativity that lives within us; creating pathways for us to return again and again to this place of power and devotion.

Know your body as the temple that it is.

How does your temple worship the divine through action? Reconnect with the ancient wisdom of devotional sacred dance.

Know yourself as the empowered, shining, integral, autonomous, strong, sensual being that you are.

Every moment is an opportunity to know ourselves, express our truths and inspire those around us, let us dance and bath in the beauty of our sensual bodies in motion and devotion.

First session (90 minutes) is $95.
Rates vary depending on number and length of sessions, as well as your commitment to on-going sessions.

Somatic Counseling & Expressive Healing Arts

I design each session to meet your individual needs in the moment. Using tools gathered from 10 years of experience in many body-centered modalities and movement trainings, I leverage bodywork, expressive healing arts, body mind integration techniques, and guided movement (with or without music), to help shift your state back into connection with yourself and the Divine.

I believe we all possess an innate wisdom within ourselves, by quieting the chatter and slowing down we begin to truly listen to ourselves and our inner guidance. Learning to differentiate when we are guided and when we are reliving an old pattern or way of being.

Learn to see your life as a way of choosing all that supports you in the bigger mission of living.  Know your purpose and let that be what you create with the power of intention.  Do your actions support your highest self?

I guide you inside your body with your breath and awareness of sensations, bringing you into contact with your own inner wisdom and knowing, regaining trust in yourself to move forward.

Experience and shift your attention from the outer to the inner world, letting go of who you think you should be and allowing your authentic self to shine through.

Access the resources that live in your body to help you move forward in integrity and as the empowered being that you are.

What do you want to create?

Body Awareness ~ Integrative Touch

I create a safe, nurturing, and healing sanctuary for you to become present in your body.

Come and unwind.....relax on my table...as i invite you to shift your attention from the outside to the inside.

Bringing you back into your body, into your breath, into the present moment....the only moment. I guide you into a deeper awareness of your body and mind with my soothing voice and healing hands and presence.

Using a myriad of tools I work on balancing your nervous system, your cranial fluid and getting the flow of blood to your muscles. I help release all that stored tension and work out the knots as well as bringing you into balance with a deeper sense of self. Rather than coming into the session with an agenda I listen to your body in each moment and using the different skills from my tool belt I help guide your body, mind and spirit into harmony and peace. Helping release all that does not serve you anymore. Leave my session more relaxed, embodied, enlivened, and inspired.

I use a myriad of tools in my sessions including swedish, deep tissue, lomi lomi, reflexology, cranial sacral, and guided breath work. I love to work with people long term, helping create a regime for my clients where we look at where you can make changes in your life for shifting to a more embodied and conscious way of moving through the world.... what do you really want when it comes to your body and your health? For there are many options!

$85 for 75 minutes.... Buy a series of 10 at a reduced rate....
Commitment helps shift us on a deeper level....

Testimonies

"I got more out of a one-on-one movement session with Sofiah than I would have gotten out of hours of talk therapy. She has an ability to create and hold space where anything can come up. She tells you so and you know you can believe her. Movement has a way of letting me access the unconscious, the inarticulate, in a powerful way. Exploring movement in the presence of Sofiah's intuition, her ability to be present, and her openness,  is truly a gift.  I'm grateful to have crossed paths with her. Weeks later, the subtle, nuanced shifts the session catalyzed are still being felt."
- Hueilan, Documentary Filmmaker
