Somatic Alchemy: Soma (Body) Alchemy (The Science of Transformation)
Life is precious, and it can be a joyful, meaningful, inspiring journey, where challenge is fodder for transformative growth, deepening aliveness and authentic freedom. You absolutely deserve to discover this for yourself, and to receive support along your path.
As a post-trauma growth coach, somatic alchemist and transformation doula, I combine years of intuitive cultivation with neuroscience training & protocols. Even more importantly, I have personally experienced the profound initiation that is required to embody confidence in the process of true transformation. Each session is a journey of discovery where together we tune in to where that magic spark is that can lead to greater freedom and wholeness in your life and system. Trauma is unintegrated resource: we are here to re-home all of you and to set you on a course of deep trust in yourself and all that you might encounter. Whether you are navigating the uncertainty of life transitions, finding faith in a dark rut, or seeking fertilizer to expand and vitalize an already flourishing garden, I delight in bringing my skills to your process.

What is A Somatic Alchemy Session?
$185 • 60 min I encourage a single private session with me before enrolling in our community, to ensure you are a fit for this work and for you to get a taste of the experience. These sessions are designed to sync the various biological systems (including the right & left hemisphere of the brain, the subconscious & conscious minds, & all of the various body systems as they receive input from the nervous system), to create coherence & alignment within the ecology of the human body, as well as between the bodies (including mental-emotional-energetic-spiritual bodies). This takes place via a pleasant chat between client and practitioner designed for natural processing and integration. I combine my training in neural-repatterning & behavioral science with energy medicine to first stabilize and then expand your capacity for resilience and and ease your path toward expressing more fully your life purpose & manifesting greater levels of wellness in whichever areas of life are ready to be transformed. We can work with psychosomatic material stored in the tissues on a somatic level, or we can work directly with subtler levels of energy as well, through somatic sensing exercises that arise organically, combined with emotional/cognitive processing, image work encouraged through light states of hypnotherapy, and stabilizing through sensory awareness to achieve greater states of embodied presence while metabolizing the vast reservoirs of data that make up who we are. We will work as a collaborative team, following the thread that will weave together the just-right-sized next step toward wholeness for you. This work is about sustainability, based in the rhythms of the nervous system, and is as much about re-setting the mechanism of healing as it is about the content that presents. It is about setting the conditions for post-trauma growth, where challenges can become stepping stones toward a more meaningful life. |
“Dear Universe, please send me all of the things that I need and most deeply desire, that I do not even yet know are possible.”

"I am so grateful you chose not to exit the planet! Your presence has made worlds of difference in my life...
This feels like heaven on Earth." ~J.
Elizabeth holds and transmits a wealth of somatic understanding, deep sensitivity, and overflowing compassion, as well as an excellent intellectual foundation of understanding somatic physiology and psychology. I would highly, highly recommend experiencing a session with her! Trauma as 'Unintegrated Resource' .... what a wonderful perspective.

over which we have dominion.” ~Thích Nhất Hạnh |
One way to think of the nervous system is as a "switchboard" for the whole being. It is what relays messages between all of the parts of ourselves and keeps us stable as well as flexible enough to grow, and it is also what communicates between ourselves and others & the world around us. So in this work, we are gently re-configuring the main switchboard which effects the entirety of the system.
Organic Intelligence® understands that coherence within small systems (one individual, for example), leads to coherence within bigger systems (families, communities), & eventually to culture and the planet at large. Therefore, it is not simply about symptom reduction (though feeling better is for sure a part of the plan!), but also about positive evolutionary change on a big-picture level. |
Before working with Elizabeth, I noticed repeating patterns in my life that were limiting my ability to break through relational roadblocks. Roadblocks that were keeping me from experiencing the depth of intimacy that I truly want to experience. During the session I felt fully seen, heard, and held in her presence. Elizabeth showed a tremendous ability to make me feel totally safe and accepted, no matter what came up in the session... (Read More)

Aliveness swells,
breathes, spills in and flows through to fill and feed every starved and isolated hermitage in the landscape of my body. I drink through the effortless mouth of the flaw on my teacup the shape of a human woman. Now that I've stopped spending all my days trying to patch that nick: What to do with this wellspring? The river says: Relax. Let me carry you. |
Working with Elizabeth is nothing short of transformational. With integrity and a balanced blend of strength and loving compassion, Elizabeth brings authenticity and power to her healing sessions. I chose to work in a series with her because the power of our first session was so real. After, I felt the stress leave my body and in its place a fresh perspective on the present day. Working in a series enables her to understand my patterns and challenges so that each session serves as an opportunity for deeper and more profound healing to occur.
Elizabeth holds a unique strength and wisdom, creating the conditions for an appropriate level of healing and progress to occur within each session. I have had the opportunity to work with many healers along my path and few match the strength in presence and integrity that Elizabeth holds. She is a clear, clean, supportive presence, free of ego and preconceived outcomes. If you are looking for a transformational experience, where real results will manifest through work with a loving and effective healer, then you need look no further than Elizabeth Stauder.
