Frequently Asked Questions

Is somatic healing the same as Reiki?

No. Somatic healing and Reiki are distinct approaches. Somatic work focuses on noticing body sensations, nervous system responses, movement, breath, and learned protective patterns that may relate to stress or trauma. Reiki is generally described as an energy-healing practice. Leah and Bruce’s work uses body-based somatic coaching and Family Constellation-informed approaches rather than presenting somatic sessions as Reiki.
