WHAT IS SOMATIC CIRCLE?

Somatic Circle is a live, guided somatic experience held in community.

Each session offers simple, accessible practices that support nervous system regulation, body awareness, and a felt sense of grounding—especially for those who carry stress, tension, or emotional weight in the body.

The space is facilitated by a psychiatric nurse practitioner and yoga teacher and is intentionally non-clinical in nature. There is no expectation to share verbally, explain yourself, or engage in emotional processing.

You are invited to simply arrive and be with your body as it is.

  • This is:

    • A facilitated somatic experience

    • Guided breathwork and body-based practices

    • Nervous system–aware grounding and regulation

    • A supportive, community-based space

    • Drop-in friendly with no long-term commitment

    This is not:

    • Psychotherapy or group therapy

    • Trauma processing or emotional disclosure

    • Medical or psychiatric treatment

    • A replacement for individual therapy or clinical care

    Somatic Circle exists outside of formal treatment, while being thoughtfully informed by nervous system awareness and embodied practice.

  • Somatic Circle may be supportive if you:

    • Feel chronically overwhelmed, tense, or “on edge”

    • Notice stress showing up physically (jaw, shoulders, chest, gut)

    • Want support without needing to talk things through

    • Are curious about somatic practices but prefer gentle guidance

    • Crave a consistent ritual of grounding and connection

    • Want community without pressure to share or perform

    No prior experience with yoga, breathwork, or somatic practices is required.

  • Each Somatic Circle includes:

    • Arrival and orienting to the space

    • Guided breath and grounding practices

    • Gentle, optional movement or body awareness

    • Quiet time for integration and closing

    You are always in control of your body and participation.
    You may sit, lie down or modify practices at any time.

    Listening to your body is the practice.

    • Format: Live on Zoom (hosted through the OHHW platform)

  • ABOUT THE FACILITATOR

    Somatic Circle is facilitated by Thraese, a family (FNP) and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), and registered yoga teacher (RYT-200).

    Her work blends nervous system awareness with embodied practice, shaped by years of supporting individuals navigating stress, overwhelm, and emotional strain—without positioning this space as therapy or treatment.

    Somatic Circle reflects her belief that regulation and reconnection can happen quietly, without explanation, and without needing to be “worked through.”
