What is a Somatic Massage Discovery Session?

A Somatic Massage Discovery Session is a longer first session designed to understand how your body holds tension and stress.

It combines hands-on massage with slow pacing and guided breathing to help the nervous system settle naturally. The work is practical and body-focused, using touch to support physical release rather than forceful techniques.

During the session, pressure and techniques are adapted to your body’s responses. Many clients notice areas softening, breathing becoming easier, and a deeper sense of calm as the session progresses.

This session is called “discovery” because it allows both you and the practitioner to understand what your body needs most, whether that is relaxation, deeper tissue work, or ongoing support over time.

No prior experience is needed, and nothing is done without your consent. The session remains grounded, professional, and tailored to you.
