Somatic Sessions for Emotional Release
What is a somatic check-in?
Somatic work starts from a simple idea: emotions live in the body, not just in thoughts. Anxiety tightens the chest. Grief sits in the shoulders. Anger clenches the jaw. Talk therapy works with the story. Somatic and dance/movement work with the sensation underneath it.
In a session, we don't just talk about what you're feeling. We notice where it lives in your body, and use breath, movement, and gentle attention to help it move through and release — instead of staying stuck.
This isn't performance or choreography. You don't need to "know how to move." It's about reconnecting with a body that's been holding tension for you, sometimes for years.
What brings you here?
Release tension before it turns into resentment.

What people say after their free check-in
- Jess T.Seattle, USAIn 30 minutes with Palina I felt something actually shift. Like, physically. She asked me where I feel the anger in my body and I said my chest - and we just went there. I cried a little. I didn't expect that. I left feeling lighter than I have in months."
- Claire B.Brisbane, AustraliaI booked this because I was snapping at my kids constantly and hating myself for it. Palina helped me see that what I was calling anger was actually exhaustion and grief. That realization alone changed something. I'm not fixed, but I finally understand what's happening.
- Lauren H.New York, USAHonestly I was skeptical. I figured it would be a sales pitch, but Palina actually did a short body practice with me and I noticed things I'd never noticed before. At the end she told me what she saw and it was so accurate it was almost uncomfortable. I signed up for her sessions that same day.

FAQ
It's a body-based approach to emotional release. Instead of just talking about what you feel, we notice where you feel it — and work with that directly.
No. This is a body-based wellness session. I'm a somatic movement facilitator, not a licensed therapist. If you're in crisis or need clinical support, I'll be upfront about that.
Just breathe and notice. If you feel comfortable we may also move, shake and vocalise.
Because I want to make sure this is the right fit for both of us before we go deeper. If it helps, great. If it's not for you — no hard feelings.
After the session I'll share what I noticed — and if there's a way I can support you further, I'll tell you about it. No pressure, no surprise invoices.
