Somatic Coaching

Our somatic coaching sessions combine conversational guidance with embodied practices to address chronic stress and emotional trauma. Through mindful awareness techniques, clients develop body intelligence that improves self-regulation and emotional resilience. Each 60-minute session builds skills for sustainable personal transformation while addressing physical and psychological well-being.

Therapeutic Massage

Specialized therapeutic massage targets musculoskeletal pain and postural imbalances through deep tissue techniques. Sessions incorporate somatic awareness training to release chronic tension patterns while improving circulation and mobility. Our 90-minute sessions integrate myofascial release with mindfulness practices for comprehensive pain management and recovery.

Somatic Experiencing

This trauma resolution approach uses somatic awareness to process stored emotional and physical stress. Practitioners guide clients through gentle exploration of bodily sensations to regulate nervous system responses. The technique helps restore natural self-regulation capacity for improved mental and physical health outcomes.

Bodymind Coaching

Integrative bodymind coaching develops embodied awareness to improve self-connection and interpersonal relationships. Clients learn breathing exercises and movement practices that enhance emotional intelligence while addressing physical discomfort stemming from stress and anxiety.

Prenatal Massage

Gentle prenatal massage supports expectant mothers through postural adjustments and tension relief. Sessions address common discomforts while promoting relaxation and body awareness. Certified techniques ensure safe, effective care throughout pregnancy and postnatal recovery.

Questions

What makes somatic coaching different from traditional counseling?

Yes, our somatic approach addresses chronic pain by releasing stored muscular tension patterns while developing body awareness. Clients often experience significant reduction in pain levels through our integrated bodymind techniques.

Do you accept insurance for massage services?

While we don't bill insurance directly, we provide superbills that may be submitted for reimbursement. Check with your provider about coverage for out-of-network massage therapy services.

What should I expect during my first session?

Your initial 90-minute session includes a comprehensive consultation followed by hands-on therapy combining deep tissue work with somatic awareness practices tailored to your specific needs.

Are sliding scale options available?

Yes, we offer sliding scale fees for somatic bodywork sessions. Contact us directly to discuss available pricing options that accommodate different budget needs.

How does somatic work help with stress relief?

Somatic practices develop nervous system regulation through body-based techniques that reduce physical tension while cultivating mindful awareness. This helps break cycles of chronic stress and anxiety.

Andrew is, hand down, the best massage therapist I have found in Seattle (alongside Katie, also at Rise Up). I am a personal trainer, long distance runner, and am generally pretty darn tough on my body.:) Finding Andrew has save me from injury, so I can continue to do the things I love. Andrew combines thoughtful listening, a deep knowledge of anatomy, and his own intuition to tailor a massage, each and every time, that is exactly what you need. Andrew is the first massage therapist I have been to where I book immediately after my treatment:)
Besides his absolute amazing skills for your physical

Andrew and Katy are fantastic. It's hard to find a great massage therapist, and when you do, you stick with them. Not only are they great at massage, but they are so kind, caring and have that twinkle of joy that brightens one's day. I've been seeing Katy since 2019 and her schedule is normally booked, so when she brought Andrew on in June of 2020, although hesitant to test the waters of anyone else, I took a chance and scheduled with him. He is amazing! He has a great sense of pressure and is attentive to areas that need attention. As a woman, I feel very comfortable seeing him

Andrew is a natural! One of the most intuitive practitioners I've been to. He has a great instinct for the right pressure for the right point (and person). He also is very kind. He thoroughly read my intake form, where I mentioned my mom had died a little over a week ago but didn't wish to talk about it.. He didn't say a word about it, just asked if my plane trip had affected any parts of my body in particular. He even noticed it was my birthday. I can't tell you how much I appreciate such sensitivity and tact--and on top of a fab massage! He found places I hadn't even

I suffer from chronic pain and spasms and Andrew and Katy really know how to work muscles. I have been in many massage places and this place is one of my top places. I just wish the price was a bit more affordable, so more people can benefit from it more often, and it really helps more than taking pills sometimes. But great service.

I started getting massages from Andrew a few month ago for back pain and I couldn't be happier. He is so friendly and really listened to what I needed and his massages have been so helpful in my recovery. I highly recommend him and Rise Up Therapeutic Massage.

Andrew is amazing! I had over 200 massage in Asia and in the U.S and he is one of the best! He never does it wrong and he knows the perfect pressure exactly where you need it. He is not only professional but also very friendly and easy to talk to. I cant recommend him highly enough!
