Somatic Sex Education • Trauma Integration • Scar Care • Rochester, NY
Where insight meets
embodiment.
Trauma-informed somatic work for queer, trans, non-binary folks and women — helping you move beyond survival and into deeper connection, embodied self-trust, and a more liberated experience of intimacy, pleasure, and self-expression.
You have likely spent years trying to think your way into healing and change.
There is another way.
You’re sensing there is a deeper wisdom in your body. One that longs to be trusted, expressed, and lived.
You may have done years of personal growth work and still feel there is a gap between what you understand intellectually and the deeper knowing that emerges from fostering a relationship with your body and its capacity to guide, inform, and support you.
You wonder what it would feel like to experience resilience, ease, and profound aliveness not as ideas, but as lived realities.
I’m River, and I’m a Somatic Sex Educator, TRE® practitioner, and scar tissue bodyworker. I work with individuals and groups who desire to loosen the grip of chronic stress and outworn survival habits, to cultivate a honest, meaningful, and fulfilling relationship with themselves, the people they love, and their communities.
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I draw from over 12 years of training in somatics, trauma-integrative bodywork, and pleasure education to create a deeply attuned process that unfolds in response to your unique intentions and lived experience.
Nourish your relationship with your body and expand into greater agency, liberation, and joy.
Book a consultation and let’s begin.
