Somatic Storytelling FAQs
What is somatic storytelling?
1
Somatic storytelling is an embodied approach to storytelling that integrates movement, sensation, and lived experience. Rather than focusing only on spoken narrative, it supports people in accessing memory, meaning, and expression through the body.
My work combines somatic practice, performance training, and creative facilitation to create spaces where storytelling can emerge in ways that are grounded, self-directed, and relational.
What happens in a somatic storytelling workshop?
2
Workshops include guided movement, nervous system support, and creative prompts using voice, writing, or visual elements. Participants are invited to explore storytelling through sensation, rhythm, gesture, and reflection.
The focus is on process rather than performance, with attention to consent, pacing, and accessibility.
Who are your workshops for?
3
These workshops are designed for:
Artists and performers
Facilitators, educators, and cultural workers
People working in care or community contexts
Anyone interested in embodied storytelling practices
No prior experience is required.
Is your work trauma-informed?
4
My work integrates trauma-aware principles such as consent, pacing, nervous system regulation, and multiple ways of participating.
Rather than positioning the space as therapeutic, I focus on creating conditions where participants can engage with choice, autonomy, and support.
Full-Spectrum Doula FAQs
What does a doula do?
1
A doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support during significant life experiences such as pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and abortion. Rather than offering medical care, a doula focuses on presence, advocacy, and continuity of support.
In my work, these principles extend beyond reproductive contexts into creative facilitation and performance training.
What is a full-spectrum doula?
2
A full-spectrum doula supports people across the full range of reproductive experiences, including birth, miscarriage, abortion, and postpartum.
My approach draws from reproductive justice practices to inform how I hold space in workshops—centering autonomy, non-judgment, and respect for diverse experiences and needs.
What is an abortion doula?
3
An abortion doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support to someone before, during, or after an abortion.
My abortion storytelling work is informed by this practice, creating spaces where people can explore their experiences through somatic and creative processes without pressure or expectation.
Can doula support be part of artistic or educational spaces?
4
Yes. Doula practices are increasingly informing artistic and educational work, particularly in areas involving embodied experience, care, and community engagement.
My work brings doula-informed approaches into performance, facilitation, and storytelling to create more ethical and responsive creative environments.
