Clients with physical and emotional concerns come to me for Somatic Touch Therapy, which is the general name I use to refer to the hands-on work that I offer in my clinical practice. These clients can sometimes present concerns that are unusual in nature. Because they may be connected to a complexity of underlying conditions, and even to personality and behavioral traits, it can be helpful to take a step back to examine the potential contributing factors with a “wholistic” approach, as is common in eastern schools of healing and wellness.
