Listening Hands – Where Structure Meets Soul

Somatic & Trauma-Informed Tools for Bodywork & Movement Professionals

With Claire Lamicela

Somatic Bodywork Mentor • Trauma-Informed Healing Practitioner

• Learn to ‘listen’ with your hands and presence—blending technical skill with somatic intuition.
• Trauma-informed touch—honoring each client’s unique history held in their body.
• Navigate the triad of tissue, structure, and energy—knowing when to work deeply, when to hold space, and when to invite release.
• Transform your table presence—from mechanical technique to embodied connection.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

• Hands-on skills to assess tissue with sensitivity.
• Somatic principles for working with emotional-energetic holding patterns.
• A refined palpation language—reading the body’s whispers, not just its shouts.
• Confidence to tailor sessions—no two bodies (or souls) are the same.

KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED

• Open to all practitioners
• New graduates: With foundational training in anatomy, assessment, or hands-on techniques (e.g., massage, yoga therapy, Pilates, etc).
• Experienced practitioners: Curiosity to integrate somatic and trauma-informed principles into your existing modality.
• No prior trauma/energy training needed – just a willingness to explore touch and movement as tools for embodied healing.

WHAT TO BRING

• Note taking equipment.

SUITABLE FOR

• For practitioners ready to deepen their touch beyond technique—where anatomy meets alchemy, and healing becomes an art.

With 30 years of one-on-one clinical practice, Claire blend remedial massage, myotherapy, and somatic wisdom to help bodies release stories held in tissue and soul. As a clinic supervisor, she guides students to merge technical skill with intuitive presence—transforming touch into a healing dialogue.

“Whether your medium is touch, movement, or both — discover how to meet the body where it is.”
