Restorative Supportive Touch
Restorative Somatic Touch
Restorative Somatic Touch is a deeply nourishing virtual practice that honours your embodied wisdom, lived experience, and your ancestral memory and cultural connections. When and if it feels right for you, we can explore these relational connections at a pace that centres your autonomy. This gentle, relational approach weaves This gentle, relational approach weaves together somatic modalities and your embodied wisdom within a sacred container of healing.
Through guided supportive-touch, we work together to support your nervous system’s natural capacity for integration and healing. You might be invited to place a hand on your heart, touch your face, or engage in other mindful supportive-touch practices that honour your body’s wisdom and cultural ways of knowing.
This practice is rooted in socio-cultural attunement and centres the wisdom of Black, African Diasporic, and multicultural healing traditions. Drawing from ancestral knowledge and embodied somatic practices, this work recognizes touch as a powerful form of nonverbal communication that speaks directly to your nervous system, supporting deeper connection to yourself, your ancestral wisdom, and your inherent resilience.
As with all offerings in my practice, your safety, consent, and comfort are paramount. All sessions are conducted fully clothed with clear boundaries, and consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Currently, all Restorative Touch sessions are offered online, creating accessible sacred space for this healing work from wherever you are.
This gentle practice invites you to rest into your embodied wisdom while honouring the fullness of who you are in your healing journey.

Restorative Supportive Touch FAQ

My perspective on healing and wellness
My practices create space for and welcomes all belief systems and cultural backgrounds. My approach integrates connection to spirit and ancestral memory as part of my African diasporic and multicultural framework. I don’t impose these beliefs or ask clients to adopt them—they simply inform how I understand healing and wellness. Our work will always centre your care, autonomy, and what feels right for you. Wherever you are at, your cultural beliefs and values will be honoured. I ask all prospective clients to consider how comfortable they are working with someone whose practice is informed by these perspectives.
What are somatics?
Somatics involve a field of study and practice of the body as experienced from within—focusing on internal sensations, movement, and awareness rather than external observation. This field recognizes the body’s innate wisdom and capacity for healing, drawing from ancient practices that honour the mind-body connection and blend it with modern day science.
Can we talk in somatic / experiential practices?
Yes, there is still talking in somatic / experiential practices. The focus is mainly placed on embodying, learning through sensing, feeling and experiencing.
