“Regan’s approach to Somatics has shown me how important the mind-body connection is when trying to heal from unresolved traumas. As a person with a physical disability, I constantly struggle with my relationship to the world around me. Regan’s understanding of how our bodies can both confine and reveal our experiences and emotions has set me on a path of awareness and discovery long hidden by my own shadow. Her coaching, body-centered techniques, and guided practices have cultivated a new found image, love, and respect for the body that dances with my spirit.” – M.A.
“I appreciate your flexibility, humility, and, above all, the deep compassion. I feel truly honored and held in a way that makes it feel okay to do this very vulnerable work. ” – J.R.
“I feel very fortunate to have been coached by Regan on Somatics. I was raised to dismiss my needs and true feelings and Regan taught me practices that help me understand and become more attuned to who I am and how I want to be in the world; to draw healthier boundaries and take them further than I might do without these teachings.” – L.S.
“Regan’s somatic coaching made flowers bloom amidst my challenges and anxieties. Her inner joy and guidance towards body-knowing gave me a lasting gift of self-awareness and inner strength.” – M.M.
“Most of all, I appreciate how you embody what you teach. You have such an open presence, I feel safe. As a result, I notice how parts and awarenesses arise when I am with you that do not with others.” – A.R.
“Regan has a very gentle, kind way of coaching. I highly recommend working with her.” – L.S.
“I appreciate your calm and direct approach to helping me dig deeper into how things feel and why, and help guide me through learning how my body reacts.” – C.L.
“Somatic Survival Skills has helped me tap back into this great big life. I’ve been needing to come back into my body, to learn its lessons, and have been trying to will it without guidance. This course carried me gently back home, and cheered me on to make the change I truly believe in. . .”
– Adrian
“I recommend this group to anyone who wants to better understand their nervous system and survival patterns…and wants to do so with a coach who leads with compassion rather than pressure. Regan created a safe space that encouraged honesty and supported the individual journey of each participant.” – L.F.
“I highly recommend this group to anyone who is interested in learning more about somatics, particularly with a disability justice lens. I greatly appreciate how Regan creates such a welcoming community of care and support as we learn together how we have been shaped and how to move toward embodied dignity, safety, and belonging as we strive for collective liberation.” – L.S.
“Regan shaped a warm space to explore my own embodiment and deepen my connection to myself and others. It’s just what I needed in these perilous times — embodiment and connection are key to creating the world we deserve.” – Cynthia
“If you have that itch like your body is calling you to come back, and want to be in a space that actually calls out the unjust systems that make it difficult to do so, you will be in good hands with Regan. My mind and my body are both getting on the same page that healing is allowed to happen in community thanks to this wonderful class. Thank you! “

Somatic Survival Skills for Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) members group participants
“Regan created a brave and loving space for our vulnerability that allowed us to explore edges and listen deeply to ourselves and each other, making our group more bonded and aligned. My own “shape” has been profoundly changed by this experience, and I now have practices in my toolbox to make space, to pause before responding, to create boundaries as needed, and to be guided by my true nature and the place I am to fill in this life.” – Jill Susskind
“Regan is a gem in this community. They have studied somatics work deeply and have a lot to share. What I learned in the series that Regan led for SURJ members has transformed some of the ways I hold both my own personal care and my responsibilities in the greater community.” – Erin Wood
“Regan so generously and open-heartedly shared her passion, playfulness and grounded wisdom and practice with our SURJ somatics group. I appreciated her providing context to the practices that honored a rich legacy of somatics, explained so clearly and meaningfully. She offered with such compassion many “bite-sized” practices we could take into our daily lives as well as more in depth practices that illuminate and make meaning of the connections between our individual hearts/souls and the collective practice of justice and joy for all beings.” – J.S.
Testimonials from
Cranky Bodies Movement Club members
“This space is such a gift. It is one of the most welcoming and truly inclusive communities I have experienced. I feel full permission to show up however I am in the moment and have learned so much in the process. Thank you!” – L.S.
“As someone who developed a dynamic disability only a few years ago, I love having a safe place to explore my complicated, evolving relationship to moving my body. This community supports your connection to your body in whatever way that means to you, even as your needs and abilities fluctuate.” – Michele P.
“This class creates a dedicated time and space for me to actually do my PT exercises which is something I have trouble doing on my own. Plus, it’s a sweet community. Being focused on what my body wants and communing with others are both very nourishing and important for me.” – A.D.
“The safe joyful space has helped me to gently and confidently move my body more than I have in years, both during the time we are together and even in between times we are together. For me, it is just the right balance of practicing together, sharing authentically and opportunity for supported independent movement.” – AR
From Tuesday’s Cranky Bodies group for folks who identify as fat or larger-bodied:
“Moving mindfully in community has improved my quality of life. These groups bring me joy.”
– Maureen H.
“For those of us in larger bodies, movement in public can be places we experience or have experienced shame or judgment -whether internally or externally. . . I am vouching for this space as being entirely without judgement or expectation and gently encourage you, whoever you are, whatever your relationship and history with movement, to check out what it feels like to experience this.” – T. Lee Shostack
“It’s hard for me to get moving, but this group has helped me get walking or doing my exercises in a contained manner.” – T
“If you have used ‘exercise’ as a punishment, a way to shrink your body, or if other people have demanded you punish yourself and the size of your body, I would gently encourage you to discover what it feels like to be in a space that is healing and supportive of whatever you want to do, because showing up for yourself is a core part of healing.” – T.L.S.
