Welcome
Our bodies hold deep wisdom, but so often we move through life disconnected from what our bodies know about safety, dignity, and belonging.
As a certified somatic practitioner and bodyworker, I partner with you to align your actions with what you care about most; change your relationship to the patterns and habits getting in the way; and invite new practices to move you toward that future possibility.
Offerings
-
Somatic Coaching
in-person or online
I offer 1:1 somatic coaching in-person in Mid City, Los Angeles and remotely via video call. The work of personal transformation is a process that requires time and practice. I typically work with clients bi-weekly for a minimum of 5 months.
-
Somatic Bodywork
in-person
Somatic bodywork deepens transformation through touch, breathwork, and guided attention. This form of bodywork is done on a massage table, fully clothed. I offer bodywork as part of my coaching practice, and also offer stand-alone bodywork sessions.
-
Groups
in-person or online
Somatics can be especially powerful when practiced in a group. I offer small group trainings, ongoing practice groups, and customized workshops.
Sign up to learn about upcoming practice groups or contact me to discuss a custom workshop for your organization or community.
In somatics, we work through the body to create deep, lasting transformation that brings our actions, behaviors, perceptions, and ways of relating into deeper alignment with our values. This approach works with our whole selves—our mind, body, and spirit—in an integrated way.
Through coaching, bodywork, and regular practice, we deepen our capacity to feel ourselves, others, and the world around us, and to navigate the complexity and contradictions inherent in being human.
This lineage of somatics draws from many modalities, including Polarity Therapy, Gestalt, Vipassana meditation, and Aikido; and is part of the Living Lineage that includes Strozzi Institute for Somatics and generative somatics.

Shaleece constantly brings me to my body, so that the learnings are not just cerebral, but land in my tissues. I benefited a lot from Shaleece’s warmth, curiosity, care, and the ability to hold a safe space for me to dig deep into vulnerable parts of myself.

I’m a person who is often in my head, but Shaleece’s workshop made listening to my body feel not only doable but something I'd really like to experience more. Her teaching approach was welcoming and encouraging I look forward to doing it again!

In working with Shaleece I’ve felt mirrored, held and guided more deeply towards myself and my longings. In coaching, she is present emotionally and in her own body, and holds space with an expanded gentleness that invites me to do the same.
