About this Event
In this immersive workshop, you’ll uncover the transformative power of somatic work — an often overlooked, yet essential part of healing, growth, and personal transformation. Rooted in the connection between mind and body, somatic work uses intentional movement practices to help you release what’s holding you back and step into your true potential.
In the first part of the workshop, Anna will guide you through the foundations of somatic work. You’ll explore the vital role of nervous system regulation, learn how stored emotions and trauma affect your body, and discover how combining somatic and mindset practices can accelerate your journey to freedom and fulfillment.
You’ll gain practical tools to help you regulate and rewire your nervous system, release emotional baggage, and create a life that feels more balanced, joyful, and connected.
In the second part, you’ll experience these tools firsthand as Anna leads you through a transformative somatic release practice. This deeply freeing process uses breath, sound, and movement — like shaking, punching a pillow, dancing, and intuitive expressions — to help you access and release pent-up emotions such as anger, sadness, or grief.
What to bring: A journal and pen to capture insights, and wear comfortable clothes for movement.
If you’ve tried meditation, journaling, manifestation, affirmations, or other self-development tools but still feel stuck or unfulfilled, this workshop provides the missing piece to break free from self-sabotaging patterns and step into a more empowered, aligned version of yourself.
Join Anna on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation, and walk away feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to yourself!
Whether you’re seeking personal transformation, a deeper connection with your emotions, or simply a space to release and recenter, this workshop offers a powerful opportunity for growth and healing in a supportive and compassionate environment.
Read what previous participants said about this workshop:
“Anna’s amazing workshop on somatic practices for personal transformation was honestly life-changing. Over these three hours I was able to let go of so much fear, anger, and other negative emotions that had been stuck in my body. The theoretical part was super useful, and I took a ton of notes that I keep getting back to. But the practical part? Absolutely mind-blowing. The exercises and guided practices really helped me release and feel a new sense of freedom. It was such a powerful experience, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for some deep, meaningful transformation and personal growth.”
“I am so grateful for the opportunity to learn from Anna’s wealth of embodied experience and knowledge about holistic health and somatic healing. She did an incredible job simplifying complex information and holding space for a transformational emotional release practice at The Center. Her energy, compassion, knowledge and experience created a beautiful opportunity to move through unprocessed anger, resentment, sadness and come back to my joy and gratitude in community. I got really clear on my desire to stay more in the present with my partner, rather than letting my fears from the past create tension.”
“This workshop was so informative and transformational. Even within one session I noticed a difference in how I approach my emotions, and my capacity to feel through hard feelings. Not only was Anna so informative and educational, she was also able to create such a powerful and safe environment to feel safe and comfortable feeling whatever we needed to feel. I would recommend this workshop to anyone going through tough feelings, wanting to get more in touch with themselves, or even just wanting to recenter and ground themselves in their healing journey.”
“Anna’s workshop was truly incredible. She has an exceptional talent for creating a safe space to explore the inner workings of yourself, while providing an atmosphere of openness with others. Coming into her second workshop, I knew very little about somatic work and practices, and Anna made it friendly for all levels. She showed me new ways to address myself in the past, present, and future, all of which can be integrated across several aspects of my life. I am so thankful!”
