Certified Somatic Coach • Intuitive Coach • Somatic Breathwork • Kundalini Yoga Teacher
For most of my life, I looked outside myself for healing—searching for the right vitamin, book, doctor, or teacher to make me whole. True transformation didn't begin until I turned inward and learned to trust the wisdom of my own body. This journey inspired me to create Dessa Somatics.
I am a certified somatic practitioner, yoga teacher, intuitive coach, and mother to a daughter healing from PANS/PANDAS. My personal experience deeply informs my work as I guide others to access their body's innate intelligence. These modalities are transformative because they reconnect you with your physical self, helping you trust its language and move toward wholeness.
I integrate body, mind, and spirit to support clients in releasing limiting patterns, building emotional resilience, and cultivating self-awareness. I hold space for all emotions and expressions with authenticity, compassion, and presence.
I discovered Kundalini yoga 15 years ago during a difficult season—navigating early motherhood, an autoimmune disease, and overwhelming stress. My therapist suggested I try it, and from the first class, I was transformed. The practice, rich in breathwork, brought me into my body in a way I'd never experienced before. It allowed stress to move through me, opening pathways for energy to flow freely. Remarkably, my thyroid began functioning again, and I was able to stop medication.
Years later, during another challenging chapter, I found Somatic Breathwork. The guided journey felt profoundly powerful—held by a compassionate witness who intuitively guided me into the deeper layers where my body stored trauma and tension. Rather than pushing away or fixing what arose, I learned to allow whatever needed attention lovingly. This practice unlocked greater freedom, authenticity, and self-expression in ways I hadn't imagined possible.
