Clare Olivares

I offer somatic coaching and bodywork to accompany processes of healing and transformation that support the understanding and shifting of embodied patterns to access a felt-sense of choice, self-trust, and grounded power from the inside out.

My practice uses a politicized somatics framework, which understands that our nervous systems, habits, and survival strategies are shaped not only by personal history, but also by our place within family systems, communities, institutions, and structures of power and oppression. In our work together, we explore how these forces interact to shape your ways of being and seeing in the world, including your habitual responses under stress, and how they continue to show up in your relationships, choices, and capacity to take action.

This work is deeply relational, and we hold that processes of healing and change take place in dynamic relationship with the greater web of life. In our sessions together, this means that we will not only work with our individual somas, but also draw on our felt sense of connection with community, land, plant & animal kin, ancestors, and spirit.

Through somatic practices & careful attunement, we move towards aligning your ways of being and taking action in the world with your values and vision.

In order to make this work both accessible and sustainable, I offer somatic coaching & bodywork sessions at a sliding scale of 55- 125 euros.

Base Rate: 80-100 euros

Supported Rate: 55-75 euros - Reserved for those experiencing significant financial difficulty and folks who are multiply marginalized (i.e. QTBIPOC, trans & disabled)

Redistribution Rate: 105-125 euros- For those with financial privilege, or who come from generational wealth, to support services for folks with less financial resources

Please feel free to reach out to me via email at searootssomatics@proton.me with any questions regarding my sliding scale, background, or anything else about my practice!

I have worked with somatic coaching and bodywork clients for over a year, supporting clients with various marginalized identities with themes related to gender exploration, recovering from burnout, managing disability and chronic pain, navigating life and professional transitions, and more.

Prior to opening my practice, I worked in various settings that involved compassionate space- holding and facilitation, including community mental health, case management, and education. I have also worked as an anti-carceral peer supporter on and off for the last decade.
