Aerial Somatic Therapy

A Womb-like cocoon for Transformation

What Is Aerial Somatic Cocooning?

Aerial Somatic Cocooning, also termed Aerial Somatic Therapy is a little piece of heaven on earth; a moment to pause the intensity of life by entering a silk cocoon of fabric simulating a weightless womb-like experience allowing you to receive a transmission of safety and connection, providing deep nourishment for your precious nervous system.

Guided and held literally and energetically by an entrained practitioner in the somatic swing, your body system will be invited to begin unwinding tension patterns clearing stored pain, stress and distortion patterns creating an experience of melting, softening and opening.

Relax

Unwind

This experience can provide profound relaxation, body awareness, emotional regulation, resourcing, grounding, nervous system regulation, relational / attachment healing, trauma resolution and/or expansive transformation and evolution to name a few.

Unwind

This type of "gravity assisted bodywork" can support deep fascial unwinding, acupressure release points and holding light to deep pressure in places that help the body to naturally unwind and open.

Let Go

Unwind

Rebirthing

Remember, when your nervous system is relaxed and well resourced you are capable of moving from surviving to thriving-- activating more joy, peace, abundance, health, love and service. You have the capacity to tap into miracle consciousness and begin co-creating a reality that is deeply fulfilling.

Rebirthing

Intentionality

Rebirthing

The cocoon like and womb like environment of the silk swing is a safe container to allow deep transformation to occur and can naturally translate into life outside sessions as upgraded experiences of confidence, clarity, creativity, knowingness-intuition, peace, compassion, abundance and more!

Alignment

Intentionality

With access to a non static support system, the body is able to find it's natural alignment through the release of tension held in

Intentionality

Simultaneously healing and integrating, the intention of this work is to invite you to remember your innate wisdom and return to authentic alignment and wholeness.

What to Expect in a Session

Each session is unique to each person and based on the natural unfolding energy of the moment.

Each session is catered to the individual, beginning with insightfuk inquiring, ocaasionally with tea to discover the deeper needs and intention for the experience.

Once in the swing, we begin with slow, gentle, intentional and relaxing stillness and gentle rocking.

Throughout the session, guided breath, sounding, and attuned bodywork and massage takes the client into deep states.

It's not uncommon for there to be emotional release ranging from physical release in the tissues, to feelings of bliss, to deep grief and/or insightful self discoveries and it's also ok if you just feel content.

Your body is wise and we honor it all.

Your role is to show up willing to trust the process and practice entering a state of receptivity and surrender.

This is *not* aerial yoga. You will enter the somatic swing to be held in the womb-like cocoon and as your practitioner I will guide you each step of the way by gently holding, pulling, pushing and rocking the swing and your body.

We'll be in close communication the whole session to ensure your sense of connection and safety during the experience. Sometimes we talk, sometimes we honor silence. Each session is yours and unravels in a gorgeous rhythm of the present moment and what

30 minute to 90 minute session available, which includes pre and post session care.

Our Flow

Connection

We always start with some setting in and checking in with how you are, knowing that every day is different; We may start with tea and chat for anywhere from 5-20 minutes as to what is needed.

Intention

From our checkin, we create an intention as to what is a priority to work on and what you want to get most out of the experience. Often we will use mindset practices to settle in.

Relaxation

Into the swing, each session is unique with a combination of hands on, stretching, sound therapy, essential oils and guided breath, anywhere from 20 to 90 minutes.

Integration

This is a key component of the sessions; we reflect from some time on biggest breakthroughs and create ideal practices for the days ahead to keep the energy moving in a good way.

Jessie H.

Betsy's Aerial Somatic sessions are deeply healing and restorative. The sensation of floating was really new for me but Betsy's guidance and reassurance created a sense of safety which allowed me to melt into the experience. It's unlike anything I have experienced.

Melanie R.

Jessie H.

Working with Betsy was truly transformational. She created a space of openness and care in which I felt truly seen and heard. I was able to work through my issues surrounding intimacy, to push my edges and to come out the other side a changed person. My life is forever changed for the better because of Betsy.

Melanie R.

Betsy creates a nurturing and restorative space even before she touched me, which helped me unlock insight within myself and once I settled into her hands while I was in the swing, I felt myself really let go. Truly Magical.
