WELCOME TO

SOMATIC SPIRITUALITY

Helping you move ‘in and down’
so you can move ‘out’ into the world Transformed.

Body-Soul
Approach

I am a trauma-informed Somatic Spiritual Director and Somatic Coach who uses a body-soul-based approach to support your spiritual journey, cultivating embodied wisdom for an awakened and purposeful life.  My mission is to guide you to slow down, nurtue meaningful presence, expand your capacity to feel emotions, and reclaim transformational choice, freedom, and wholeness.

IS THIS YOU?

Do you ever feel half-awake, numb, or worse- frozen, as if you've lost touch with your true self? 
Are you dissatisfied, burned out, and unfulfilled?  
Are you grappling with overwhelming stress, anxiety, or loneliness?

A Path to Somatic Spirituality

But…

What if the answer wasn’t in more doing? 
What if you didn’t have to search for enough-ness in external things, but could find deeper meaning in spiritual connection?


It’s time to return to yourself.

It's all too common in today's demanding world to feel disconnected and disempowered, leading you to feel stuck and out of control. 

Life feels more like an endless hamster wheel, characterized by a lack of choice and exhaustion, rather than a fulfilling calling brimming with purpose and meaning.


It doesn’t have to be this way.

Hi, I’m Alicia.

I see deeply spiritual individuals walking away from their faith because of doubt, disappointment, crisis, or traumatic religious experience.   

I see deeply sensitive individuals asleep to their spirituality because of daily stressors and responsibilities that pull their attention elsewhere.

I see your disconnection and loneliness from the community and faith you once belonged. I feel your grief. 

And I have so much compassion for you… because I am you.

As a career in full-time Christian ministry and Pastor at Good Shepherd New York my life’s purpose has always been to come alongside people in their spiritual journey, just as you are.


I KNOW THAT…

You don’t need to gain more knowledge or discipline to become whole.

You don’t have to acquire more things to be happy.  

You don’t have to perpetually strive to live a meaningful life.

You don’t have to be perfect to be loved. 

YOU CAN FEEL DEEPLY CONNECTED TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY EXPANDING YOUR AWARENESS OF INNER EXPERIENCES BY INTEGRATING A BODY-SOUL APPROACH THROUGH SPIRITUAL AND MIND/BODY PRACTICES KNOWN AS SOMATIC SPIRITUALITY.

I work with spiritually oriented individuals who desire to lead purposeful, holistic lives.

You weren’t always this lost, disconnected, or stuck.  

I want you to know right now, that the path to wholeness, connection, and purpose lies not in acquiring more head knowledge, imposing more discipline, or perpetually striving.  

Instead, it involves slowing down, attuning to the wisdom of your body, and listening to the Sacred within—the still, small voice that often gets drowned out by the relentless hustle and bustle of life's demands.

Somatic Work is the path towards holistic healing.
You are a spiritual being who needs help turning inwards.

YOU NEED A BODY-SOUL APPROACH
YOU NEED SOMATIC SPIRITUALITY
.

When we work together, I will hold compassionate and non-judgemental space and active listening, while I teach you how to feel sensation,  to be with what is present, to grow your capacity to experience overwhelming emotion, and to return home to the safety of your body, so that you can move out into the world with more wholeness, agency, liberation, joy, and love.  

Join me in a somatic spirituality journey incorporating spiritual direction, mind-boy coaching, somatic experiencing, inner-relationship focusing, attachment work, inner-healing prayer,  contemplative spiritual practices, enneagram, and mind/body tools for somatic healing.

What others say about Alicia

  • “I connected with Alicia during a very stressful season of conflict in my work and personal life. After more than a decade of spiritual deconstruction, I also came to her exhausted from striving and searching. Alicia offered a safe space where I could be my real self. She listened well, and when I was ready, offered direction and tools to re-engage spiritually in new and meaningful ways. I am grateful for her wisdom and gentle encouragement!

    Nicole Iman - Humanitarian Aid Worker in Dubai

  • "At the heart of true spiritual direction is the notion of companioning. Alicia models this par excellence through active listening, profound noticings, helpful inquiry, and useful offerings. Her thoughtful, organic approach toward spiritual direction is tailor made to the client, and her discernments are Spirit-filled and led."

    Rev. Dr. Henry Hansen, Senior Pastor at Bidwell Presbyterian Church

  • “Alicia is a natural, kind listener and intuitive guide to turn inward and be with what is. Working with her has encouraged me to become more aware of my body, sit with discomfort, and ask tough questions during a particularly challenging season in my life. She knows when to push and when to leave space — and she brings a warm presence with room for humor and joy in all our sessions!”
