What is Somatic Polarity Therapy?

Somatic Polarity Therapy is a holistic healing system designed to restore, align and maintain proper energy flow throughout the body. Using a comprehensive system of touch and verbal counseling, somatic polarity therapy supports the body's energetic currents to release physical and emotional blockages, thereby creating a more functional and healthy energetic flow. Somatic Polarity Therapy is founded upon the understanding that life energy pulses throughout every living being between the positive and negative poles in our bodies. When in balance, we experience heightened physical and emotional health. Dis-ease occurs when our life energy is blocked or out of balance. Somatic Polarity Therapy promotes the balance of these life energies to support your body's own natural resources and to bring your being into balance for optimal health.


What Conditions Benefit from Somatic Polarity Therapy?

Somatic Polarity Therapy is an excellent treatment to reduce stress, decrease anxiety, and increase vital energy. Treatments strengthen one's resilience to stress, enhance immunity, and often results in deeper and more restful sleep patterns. Somatic Polarity Therapy also increases the body's production of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and endorphins, all hormones responsible for creating states of enhanced well-being and happiness. Somatic Polarity Therapy, over multiple sessions, is also helpful in supporting clients to process and release energetic blocks relating to depression, grief and/or trauma.


What Can I Expect in a Typical Polarity Session?

Polarity therapy sessions are typically scheduled for 75 minutes and do not require disrobing. Sessions include light to medium touch on the body, applying hands on different areas of the body to encourage energetic release and flow, and gentle rocking motions to balance both physical and emotional energies. Craniosacral techniques are incorporated to release restrictions in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous. A typical polarity session will result in deep relaxation, a state of emotional and mental clarity, feeling of inner balance and strength, and release of physical and/or emotional discomfort. Continued sessions will assist the client in maintaining focus and balance and continuation of enhanced and empowered personal growth.
