What is Somatic Healing?

You’ve kissed your spouse bye for the day, dropped off the kids at school, put out a million fires at work again, and finally have a few hours to yourself (or maybe you fake a doctors appointment to escape the crazy world for a few hours.. haha).

The hustle and bustle of Calgary life can leave you feeling like you’re constantly running on empty, right? You know that feeling when your body is screaming for a reset, but a regular massage or facial just isn’t cutting it anymore? This is where my new somatic healing step in.

At Gelous Spa, I get it. For women over 30, balancing life, family, and everything in between can feel like juggling with one hand tied behind your back. But here’s the thing - what if I told you that the key to feeling truly recharged, inside and out, is all about reconnecting with your body?

If you’ve been grinding your teeth or holding stress in your face, these new services are about to become your new favourite thing. And the best part.. they are claimable through your massage benefits.. woo hoo!

What exactly is Somatic Healing or SIT?

Let’s start with somatic healing - it’s like a reboot for your body, mind, and soul. These sessions are all about tuning into the body's cues.

Over time, we store stress, trauma, and emotional baggage in our bodies - yep, that's why you might have a sore back, a nagging shoulder pain that won't go away, or a tight neck and jaw! It even helps with skincare issues, weight fluctuations, or behaviours like enjoying one too many glasses of wine or those irresistible shopping impulses that pop up. These sessions help you release that pent-up tension, leaving you feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected to yourself.

Imagine that feeling of complete relaxation washing over you as you finally let go of the stress that’s been weighing you down for years. Feel your shoulders relax, your jaw unclench - it’s that instant relief you’ve been craving. You absolutely deserve to feel this good. You work hard, and it’s time to take a moment just for you.

Why Calgary Women Over 30 Need Somatic Healing (Like, Yesterday)

Okay, real talk - by the time we hit 30, life gets real busy. Between family, work, and trying to maintain some semblance of a social life, we often forget to check in with ourselves. How often do you catch yourself pushing through that headache or ignoring that knot in your shoulder? Yup, we’ve all been there. The thing is if we don’t address these issues, they can manifest into bigger issues like chronic illness, cancer or even heart attacks.

What Happens in a Somatic Healing Session at Gelous Spa?

After you book an appointment you will receive a video link inside the consent form explaining exactly what to expect during a session. There are 2 types of services available to book - virtual or in spa. They are both just as powerful, but the in-spa service can be written off under massage benefits as it includes a section with somatic healing of the back/shoulders and neck with face & buccal massage, but if you prefer to do a session in the comfort of your home over zoom - that's totally cool.

How Somatic Healing and Buccal Massage Work Together Now, here’s where things get exciting. Somatic healing and buccal massage are a dynamic duo - one works to release tension in the body and mind, while the other targets your face and jaw, where stress often hides.

By combining the two, I'm helping you reset on a deep, emotional level. It’s like hitting the refresh button on your body, your mind, and your skin, all in one session.

Real Stories: How Women Are Transforming Through Somatic Healing

I get it - it’s easy to be skeptical. That’s why I am sharing some real-life transformations from our clients I have recently worked with:

Client Story #1: I came to Helena with stress and anxiety and was drinking to deal with it. After just one somatic healing session, I felt like a new person. I faced some of my worst traumas and she gave me tools and exercises after to help me. I felt a peace and lightness afterwards that I haven’t felt in a very long time - J, 55

Client Story #2: I felt like I was constantly at war with my own body. Years of body shaming myself, trying every diet, and still feeling disconnected had taken their toll. After a single session, I realized how much of that tension was stuck in my body. The release I felt was both physical and emotional. For the first time in years, I felt at peace with myself. The buccal massage was an unexpected bonus - it helped me release so much jaw tension I didn’t even know I had. Now, I’m learning to love and listen to my body again. - K, 48
