The word somatic derives from the Greek word somatikos meaning “of the body.” Ellen Heed defines herself as a Somatic Educator and healer, drawing from many disciplines to bring awareness, integration, and resolution to those seeking relief from the pain of immediate or past traumatic experiences. According to Ellen, the healer’s contract doesn’t end with the mere cessation of pain, but continues all the way into the full realization of human ecstatic potential and radiant health.
