TESTIMONIALS

What clients are saying

“As someone who’s been a coach for almost 15 years now and in the healing arts for over 30 years, I’ve explored many modalities—but somatic work is relatively new to me. In just a short time, I’ve discovered how powerful it is for moving trauma and emotional pain, and working with Sammi has been a deeply transformative part of that journey. She holds such a safe, compassionate, and skillful container. Her guidance through meditation, intuitive movement, and creative expression (in my case, journaling) allowed me to access deeply buried parts of myself—especially wounded child parts that had long been holding pain. The session was profoundly cathartic and empowering. Sammi’s presence is nurturing and wise, and her ability to gently guide you through deep healing work is a true gift. I felt lighter, more connected to my sense of self-worth, and energized to move forward. I can’t recommend her enough.”

- Alessandrina D.

"Sammi lead me through an embodied arts dance practice with so much Grace and professionalism, the movement of the practices really helped me to open and get into my subconscious to heal a lot more rapidly than just sitting meditation practices. I was able to heal and move through my pain and insecurities and restore my sense of Divine self-worth."

- Caleb S.

"Sammi is amazing, I moved so much stuck energy in my session with her and she moved me through it so beautifully! Highly recommend!"

-Amie R.

"Sammi held amazing space for spiritual insights, awareness and self-expression through dance and art. It really helped me in the healing journey I'm on with my body and my physical health. I loved the dynamic approach that Sammi has with the different modalities. She's got meditation, visualization, dance and art. It was an awesome experience I highly recommend it."

-Tracy T.

"I did the Embodied Arts Healing video practice between meetings at work. It felt so good to get some movement in and release some stagnant energy! I felt much calmer and more energized after."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need experience in art or dance to participate?

No experience is needed. Embodied Arts Healing is designed for self-expression rather than skill or performance. Whether you’re new to movement and art or have years of experience, the practices are tailored to meet your unique expression and needs.

Is EAH a form of therapy?

While Embodied Arts Healing can be therapeutic, it is not a substitute for licensed therapy or medical treatment. EAH offers wellness practices focused on self-expression, emotional awareness and personal growth.

At EAH we do not provide traditional therapy or diagnosis, and our services are not a replacement for professional medical advice.

What kind of art is involved?

You can choose from a variety of artistic modalities, such as drawing, painting, or creative writing.
