“I’m deeply thankful for the space and the timing of this opportunity. It has truly meant a great deal to me.” Osha Towers
“Z! held such incredible space through the Somatics process and helped to guide me through some heavy things which came up during that time. After the 12 weeks, I have felt so much safer and present in my body, with my emotions, and in the world.” Sierra Shields
Schedule a consultation so we can start working together!
I am scheduling one-on-one sessions for August! Schedule a 20-minute consultation to ask any questions or make a plan! We can plan out an arc of 6 sessions, 12 sessions, or go one by one.
I first practiced Generative Somatics in 2014 when a team of facilitators came to WI to work with our movement organizations across the state. We were primarily involved in the Black Lives Matter movement in Madison and Milwaukee, but there were others from other parts of the state as well. I had heard about somatics from friends and I was intrigued. It was calling to me.
The experience made my heart sing. It fully resonated with my soul to delve deep into the shaping of our body mind and spirits in a group setting. During the morning circle of centering practice where you notice sensations in your body and reshape your body in length, width and depth. I began notice ways I was holding my body that, when adjusted shifted my thought patterns, and brought more aliveness flowing through my hands and heart.
Since then I have spent 40 days at various in-person group sessions, and 5 years doing one-on-one work with a practitioner. After doing 15 years of talk therapy prior to becoming a participant of somatics, I quickly noticed the way that the somatics practices and reflections cut deeper into my shaping from trauma. Not just to help me manage my day to day thoughts and relationships, but to start to heal old wounds that were hanging around.
My healing journey has continued the past 5 months as I’ve been leading participants through a 12 session arc of transformation for my practicum. It has been transformative to be on the other side, holding space for peoples healing. Each session includes an activity that helps to shift patterning towards new ways of being. The process is rooted in a “commitment,” or healing goal, that you are working towards. Guiding your own destiny, rooted in your purpose.
Ife Williams, PHD, Community Scholar, participant during my practicum said:
“I feel very grateful for the tangible, transferable practices that Z! and the GS lineage have offered. The guidance to bring deepened awareness to what’s present – “noticing”- is working for me. The container that Z! creates really supported me to attune to the sensations I may have otherwise bypassed or not lingered in. I have enjoyed that the sessions include theory/frameworks, discussion, and somatic tools. Thank you Z!, sincerely grateful for this exchange. It arrived right on time.”

“Working with Z! has been a transformative experience—warm, deeply knowledgeable, and incredibly patient, they create a space where healing and connection feel natural. Their skillful, supportive presence helped me understand somatics in a way that felt personal, empowering, and full of grace.”
