ABOUT
Somatic Facilitation is a body-based approach to therapy that supports us in guiding others (and ourselves) through a process of deep self-inquiry and capacity building with the information we receive from a visceral level.
Through conscious movement and somatic exploration, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself. You will learn skills to develop a relationship with your nervous system and build on your capacity for presence and embodiment.
Your own somatic awareness is what will help you to sustain and digest the information in the room. When we teach and facilitate from this level of awareness and while staying connected to our own bodies, our message becomes clear and directs us towards the people that are ready to receive our work in the world.

WELCOME to INNERLOOM
I'm Lauren...
...the founder and Somatic Therapist who is here to show you another way.
Another way of being in the body.
As a facilitator, as a practitioner, as a parent, as a partner, as a friend, as a colleague...
As a human being.
I believe that somatic facilitation is the key for so many of us to develop better relationships with our bodies so that we can be in right relationship with our Earth.
I created the InnerLoom Somatic Process when I knew there was something more to this work that had nothing to do with self regulation and trauma work.
I began to wonder, "how would I move if I followed my own direct experience rather than a prescriptive approach to healing whatever inconvenient symptom I was hyper focused on that that day."
What I found was that there was in fact a piece of me waiting to be explored, but my frame of reference within these ancient practices was in fact limiting my perception.
They weren't directly speaking to my body which was quite confusing initially.
I felt the call to leave a very linear and disciplined approach to healing so that I could tap into my own body's artistry and natural expression.
The depth of my soul was awakening and I needed another way of exploring the magnitude in energy I was sensing.
This process not only gave me direct contact with the many facets of my internal world, but also paved a path for my creative expression within my environment.
I noticed that the decisions I was making were more in alignment with my value system.
The outer world began to reflect the truth that lived in me.
And for me, that is true FREEDOM.
It was then that I realized, my body does know what it's doing.
This ignited my passion to show people that they too can have agency over their sensory self and being in the body doesn't have to be so confusing.
Sharing the InnerLoom Somatic Process has shown me just how much folks are ready for this.
I've watched so many shift the way they support themselves while being in service to their communities.
It's my dream to bring to life more somatic facilitators who know how to hold space for all bodies for the sake of belonging and greater wisdom within our communities.
Thank you for being here.
1:1 Somatic Sessions
"This weekend with Lauren was a huge eye opener for me. I was truly blown away with what my body could tell me I needed on such a deep level. Lauren held such a beautiful safe space, which made it easy to open up and share. It felt so good to move my body intuitively, to listen what was best for me. Lauren provided enough guidance for you to get started and then trust yourself to move how you needed and listen to your body."
- Lara R.
"Lauren has a wonderful way of creating a safe and supportive space to explore the body and discover somatic movement and its various tools. She teaches from a space of total passion that is so inspiring. At the introductory course I had so many “aha” moments and took away from it much more awareness of my body and how I can tap into what it is telling me on a day to day basis. Such a beautiful two days surrounded by a great group all journeying through it together guided by Lauren’s wisdom."
- Tullia M.
"Lauren guided us through a beautiful weekend of exploration. Lauren created a warm, inviting space for everyone to connect and feel supported without any judgement. I felt safe to show up exactly where I was at which looked very different both days. It was devine timing for me to truly connect with myself and my emotions and i discovered a lot that has helped draw attention to parts of myself that I had been avoiding or just felt like I'd moved passed them. Lauren is a compassionate, loving, authentic leader that holds the space for everything to arise and is able to add so much light to the experience."
-Sarah D.
"What an incredible weekend! Lauren guided us through the aspects of somatosensory facilitation in such a genuine, thoughtful way. The space was welcoming and safe, and the group was so caring and supportive of one another. The training was phenomenal, I learnt so much about not just the somatosensory system, but my own body and mind. I felt completely able to take on the knowledge and apply it straight away to my own life, as well as my work. I cannot wait to see what comes out from this amazing weekend."

What is Expressive Body Art?
"The artistry by the body to evoke emotion and imagination through shapes, gestures and movement.
This therapeutic process brings form to somatic experience so that to facilitate dialogue between inner world and out world."
