"Peace is not the absence of war.
It is the time when we will all bring ourselves closer to each other
closer to building a structure that is unique within ourselves
Because we have finally come to Peace within ourselves."
-Gil Scott-Heron, Work for Peace
As the only registered somatic movement therapist and educator in Mid-Missouri, Victoria is dedicated to sharing her knowledge and expanding the awareness of the value of somatic movement throughout her community. She understands that a somatic approach to living one’s life more fully is foreign to many, and that for many it can seem very upside down as it differs radically from the top-down, mind-focused approach to living that is so prevalent within our culture. Having lived through many incredible challenges over the last decade including mental and physical ill health, Victoria is a testament to the deeply healing and supportive bottom-up approach that the practices of somatic movement offer.
As a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist and Education (RSMT/E) offering services under the business name Embodiment LLC, Victoria is dedicated to safely and gently introducing the practices of somatic movement to whoever has interest and for whatever reason this type of personal, growth exploration resonates for you. As Embodiment LLC she is available in person or by Zoom, to offer guidance to individuals and groups.
Victoria is also a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with the state of Missouri, and as such has the same commitment to offering clients a safe and gentle body-based, trauma-informed, resiliency-focused approach described above as she serves the community within in her role as a licensed mental health practitioner.
