Somatic intelligence is integral to the therapeutic container—not only because it supports nervous system regulation, but because it offers clients a place to discover a sacred return to themselves. In this solo episode, Harmony Kwiker explores how the body becomes a portal for transformation—not something to fix or bypass, but a place to listen, to feel, and to remember.
Through a nuanced, experiential teaching, Harmony offers a deep dive into the clinical application of somatic intelligence. She shares how therapists can help clients reconnect with their bodies without pushing, forcing, or leading—trusting instead in the soul’s timing and the body’s wisdom.
You’ll learn:
- What interoception is, and how both blunted and heightened interoceptive awareness show up in trauma healing
- Why true nervous system regulation happens through connection, not control
- How to meet a client’s instinct to turn away with reverence instead of resistance
- Practical somatic invitations Harmony uses to support clients in listening to their body
- How healing emerges at the intersection of spirit and nervous system
This episode is a sacred invitation to reframe somatic work—not as a technique, but as a way of being in therapeutic relationship. Whether you’re a clinician or on your own journey of embodiment, you’ll be reminded that presence—not performance—is the path to wholeness.
