Somatic Healing is Focalizing
To start off, I will share here that the Somatic Healing modality I was trained in and that I offer in my sessions is called Focalizing. The name is not as clear as the words Somatics or Embodiment, so it’s easier to call my sessions Somatic Healing, but they work interchangeably.
To help you understand what I do and how a Somatic Healing session actually goes, I’m going to share with you about three main points:

How this work can help you on your own healing journey.
Focalizing and embodiment practices have not only transformed my personal healing journey but have also guided me in connecting deeper to my soul purpose by clearing what’s in the way. As someone who’s experienced the profound impact of reconnecting with my own authentic self, my intention is to help others do the same—whether they’re seeking clarity in their life direction, healing from past wounds, or accessing their soul’s true calling.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have been assisting and co-teaching the Focalizing Practitioner Trainings with The Focalizing Institute since 2022.
The Focalizing Practitioner Program is a 12-week online certification program journey into the power of Focalizing for coaches, therapists and wellness practitioners to help others heal from trauma, connect to one's inner wisdom, and live with greater purpose. It fills my heart to see others go through a similar embodied awakening so I want to give honor and more awareness to this amazing modality created initially by Michael Piccuci and taught to me by Nick Werber and Jo Miller.
So let’s get into it…
What is Focalizing?
Focalizing is an intention-based, somatic healing modality that invites participants to listen to the innate intelligence of their body in order to conjure resilience and uncover new possibilities beyond the conditioned thinking of the mind.
These barriers can be in the form of conditioned thinking, traumatic experiences, stress, depression, sexual and intimacy barriers and more.
What sets Focalizing apart from other somatic healing techniques is its specific focus on releasing blocks tied to both trauma and the deeper calling of your soul. When you’re connecting to your body, you’re not just connecting to a nervous system — you’re connecting to something much larger. You’re connecting to what links you to nature and to the universe at large — which happens to be through the innate intelligence of your body.
Once these blocks begin to shift, Focalizing takes on the form of a creative tool that supports participants to access levels of awareness that allow them to act and make decisions that are deeply informed by their body and whole being.
Focalizing isn’t just a technique for healing—it's also a path to uncovering your soul's deeper wisdom. By helping you connect with your body’s innate intelligence, this modality creates the space to align more fully with your authentic self and your true purpose in the world. It invites you to listen to what your body is telling you, opening up the possibility of living a life that is truly in harmony with your soul’s desires.
Now that we've covered what Focalizing is and how it connects with your soul’s purpose, let me share what a typical session looks like so you can get a sense of how this transformative work unfolds in real-time.
What a Focalizing session is like…
A Focalizing session starts with intention. An intention could be freedom from anxiety, releasing the fear that keeps you stuck, navigating a life transition, or simply reconnecting with your true self.
First, we clarify your intention and what issue is currently alive for you. As we set your intention for the session, it doesn’t have to be just about solving an immediate issue—it’s also about reconnecting to the deeper purpose that underlies your struggles. Whether it's discovering a new direction in life or healing old wounds that have kept you from fully stepping into your power, Focalizing guides you to a place of clarity where your true path can emerge. The body often holds the keys to these insights, and as we release blockages, you may begin to see and feel the direction your soul is calling you toward.
Next, I will guide you through a grounding meditation that will help you drop out of your analytical mind and into the wisdom of your body where past trauma is stored. From there I take you gently through a non-linear process that allows your body's innate healing capabilities to turn on and flow into the blocks that are at the heart of your issue.
What comes to light throughout the session can take the form of memories, images, felt sensations and/or emotions; some of which were long forgotten or suppressed in some manner.
Your body may deliver messages that assist you in your intention and create permanent shifts in perspectives. As the session continues, I support you further by suggesting specific approaches for moving deeper into these experiences in a safe and supported manner.
What's been observed time after time is that when a client sets an intention, connects deeply with their body and watches what unfolds without judgement or labeling, the body naturally surfaces what needs to be acknowledged and worked with in order to move past the barriers that are blocking them.
The Lasting Power of Focalizing
What’s been observed time after time is that when a client sets an intention, connects deeply with their body, and watches what unfolds without judgment or labeling, the body naturally surfaces what needs to be acknowledged and worked with in order to move past the barriers that are blocking them.
In as little as 10-15 minutes of watching what surfaces, the body's natural and powerful healing mechanisms are able to come online. Without much conscious effort on your behalf, your body begins to release the stored shock of trauma, the tension of years of anxiety and the emotions that once felt hopelessly entangled around your past story.
Through this work, we can explore not just what is blocking you in the present moment, but also what your soul is trying to guide you toward. Whether it’s gaining the courage to change, finding your authentic voice, or embracing a new chapter of your life, Focalizing creates the space for you to align more deeply with the truth of who you are and what you are here to do
Here are some of the areas we can explore:
Feeling stuck or overwhelmed in life
Navigating career, life changes, or transitions
Overcoming relationship challenges or unresolved childhood trauma
Difficulty with self-expression or fear of change
Disconnection from the body, intuition, or personal power
Health challenges or chronic pain
Creative blocks or struggles with self-confidence
Limiting beliefs, perfectionism, or fear of failure
Blocks to abundance, money, and living fully aligned with your purpose
Many clients come to me feeling blocked from stepping into their full power or purpose. These blocks often show up as fears of change, challenges with self-expression, or uncertainty about making bold life choices.
Through Focalizing, we can explore these deeper issues—helping you identify the fears, limiting beliefs, or emotional patterns that have been holding you back. Whether you're struggling to embrace change, express your authentic self, or take the leap into a new chapter of your life, this work supports you in clearing the path to your true purpose and helping you show up fully in your life.
