Somatic therapies work with the body as an essential part of healing, rather than relying on insight alone. When stress, trauma, or emotional overwhelm are held in the nervous system, talking about them isn’t always enough. Somatic work offers a way to gently reconnect with sensation, regulation, and safety from the inside out.
Somatic work meets you where you are. Sessions are responsive, collaborative, and paced with care — honoring your nervous system rather than pushing it.

Not Sure Where to Start? Most new clients start with a 4-session container
I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and the way it made me feel. I struggle with a lot of chatter in the mind and this experience left me with a quiet mind and total relaxation for hours after. I was so overwhelmed with joy from this. I had no anxiety for quite some time and that’s something I deal with daily. This session was so beneficial to me and I look forward to learning more and having other sessions. I can’t say thank you enough.

Chelsea is amazing!! My experience was so enlightening! I felt light, refreshed, energized!!! I am so happy that I have started a new healing process for my trauma that I’ve compressed for 20 yrs of my life. Knowing and understanding how our bodies hold our trauma and how we release it is so reassuring! I am so excited for my future!!! Thank you so much!!!

For the past few weeks, Chelsea at Althea Somatic Therapy has been my breathwork coach, and I’ve had the honor of working with her. I eagerly anticipate our weekly sessions. She has helped me have these really special experiences that I feel are crucial for me on my healing journey, and she has created a container that feels safe to me. I’m excited to work with Chelsea going forward, and I strongly advise anyone searching for a trained breathwork coach to get in touch with her!
