No. Beyond Soma's services are complementary, holistic practices — not a substitute for professional medical, psychiatric, or therapeutic care. If you're currently working with a therapist or medical provider, these services are meant to support, not replace, that care. If you're in crisis, please contact 911 or a mental health crisis line directly.

Right now, all sessions are arranged directly — reach out through the contact form, phone, or email, and Desi will follow up to schedule a time that works for you.

Each session is about 90 minutes. We start with some conversation — checking in on where you're at and what you're hoping to explore. From there, we move into about an hour of energy work, blending Reiki with somatic awareness to support stress reduction and relaxation, and facilitate healing on an emotional, physical, and spiritual level.
Every person experiences it differently. Some feel deeply relaxed or sleepy, others notice emotional release, tingling, warmth, or a sense of lightness. There's no 'right' way to experience it. Afterward, we'll spend a few minutes talking through anything that came up, and I'll often send you home with a small reflection or practice to help you integrate the session.

Adults and Youth.
For adults, maybe you already know, you've done the work, maybe you have the tools but keep finding yourself back in the same patterns. Maybe not. Maybe you're in the middle of a transition and something is shifting.
Sometimes what's missing isn't more information. It's space to slow down, drop in, and let it land.
