nurturing an embodied relationship with ourselves:
a series of guided somatic practices on audio
Since establishing my practice, one of my priorities has been designing an offering that expands access to somatic practices. This audio series provides an affordable, convenient, and trauma-informed resource that integrates the guiding principles and tools that inform one-on-one sessions. The somatic practices in this series are designed to support you in cultivating somatic self-awareness and embodiment skills. It is my hope that this audio series can enable you to relate to your body as an ally and source of trustworthy information.
I offer step-by-step guidance with reminders that it’s always up to you to choose how you participate. This audio series can serve an introduction to body-based practices or complement existing 1:1 sessions with a care provider. It’s easy to connect to the audio series through a private podcast feed and you’ll have lifetime access to the recordings.
I’m delighted that you’re considering embarking on a journey with the somatic practices offered in this series! If you are a fellow care provider/colleague, I invite you to explore this audio series through a special offer.

what folks are saying
“Our bodies hold knowledge that we can access when given the space and tools. That is what this audio series provides– an opportunity, at your own pace, to begin (or expand) the journey of listening to your body. Through these somatic practices, you can start to find resources within yourself to be more fully present in your life and relationships. We cannot care for ourselves if we do not know what our bodies actually need. This series is essential to my own practice of self-care and honoring my body."
— Shameika Black, MDiv/MBA Candidate, Philly, PA
“If you are looking to befriend your body, this audio series will serve you well. I’ve been able to tune in to myself somatically with the support of Mariana’s warm and skilled facilitation. Plus, having access to the recordings—anytime, anywhere—has empowered me to easily build a habit of noticing, tracking and identifying sensations and other bodily cues.”
— Shari W., Attorney, Albuquerque, NM
