My sessions while in Hood River with Soma were awesome. She's such a gifted seer and healer, and I feel her gifts are growing. Her touch is astoundingly gentle and yet the power of her energy clearing is palpable. She is so present for your session's needs, and what the body is screaming for. She also will inform you of subconscious data you are ready to face, and she will do that very kindly and gently. When we are ready to face a trauma, sometimes its better when a kind therapist tells you what really you already knew but could not voice. She sees the story the body is telling. It was a pleasure and honor to work with Soma and I'm so bummed I dont live in Hood River to come see her regularly. You will love your time with Soma and you will leave the session changed for the better. Go see her!! <3 <3 <3 Leela

Soma is amazing. I was drawn to Cranial-Sacral Therapy on a serendipitous free CST session with an Osteopathic workshop instructor (O.D) at Eselan Institute. Returning home and feeling that tug/pull thing every time I see Soma’s CST banner on Good Medicine Tea, I sign up for a handful of sessions. They are powerful. Skillfully, quietly, methodically Soma identified the blocked chakras, put flow back into the cranial-spinal fluid and, as importantly, brought spine/neck/head back into felt awareness. A bit unusually, in one session, my third eye popped open then closed. I had been decalcifying the pineal gland for about a month, but had no clue it was related to CST work. Plus the sessions are cool. Soma is so calmly and matter-of-factly practicing these CST techniques in such a humble and accessible fashion. She is completely on par with the lead OD at Eselan. Hood River is blessed to have her.

Soma has a gift for integrating you back to health. The acupuncturist I see in White Salmon recommended Soma as a team member who would be there to support me through trauma recovery. Cranial sacral therapy has been a journey unto itself. Soma is exceptional at helping you heal your body cell memory. As she is fond of saying, the trauma is like the eye of a hurricane, and the body's response to that trauma is to set up patterns like the wrapped tail of the huricane's eye. The last 6 months Soma has gently used cranial sacral therapy to unwind the emotions and cell memories created by trauma that occurred in my life prior to my being able to speak. I am impressed by Soma's ability to verbalize what she experiences during a session. I admire her integrity and her dedication. Even if the session runs over because of emotion unwinding, Soma stays and sees me through. How fortunate to have her share her gifts with those of us on a healing journey!

Soma’s cranial sacral treatment approach blends a magical mixture of addressing structural/physical issues alongside revitalizing and aligning of the subtle energetic systems of the body. As a fellow healthcare practicioner in the healing arts I am highly impressed with the physical, mental and energetic changes I received in the first session and continued to receive in subsequent sessions. Each time I left with an ease in my body that felt like the “real me” and a sense of expansion and peace followed me throughout the day. Her intuitive touch is uncommon in the field of Cranialsacral practicioners that I have seen before. I highly recommend this experience to help ease the body’s physical maladies as well as an integral tool for those going thru major life transitions to help have physical, mental and energetic clarity.

I love Soma! She has a way of making me feel completely comfortable and relaxed, and it's like being transported to a blissful state! She has a great touch and seems to know just what is needed. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking treatment outside of the box for chronic pain, illness, or emotional issues.

Soma has a gentle yet powerful skill with craniosacral therapy. My treatments with her have been deeply felt and appreciated, and I leave feeling more aligned with myself. She is very intuitive about where my energy is somewhat blocked and knows how to balance effort and ease to get it flowing freely. I highly recommend working with her.

I've never felt quite like this in my body. I feel extremely integrated like all of me is here right now. At the end of the session I could feel that I didn't want to come back into my body because I was floating and blissed out! I felt some huge releases in my low back and my left shoulder where I'd broken 5 bones years ago. I felt sensations of release and awareness in my heart, stomach and my knee that were all pretty amazing too! Honestly it's really hard to articulate my experience. Just know if you're interested in being the best you can possibly be and heal from pain, trauma, injuries or just integrating at another level that you cannot access on your own, Soma holds a very safe place to find more of what you need to be the wholeness of who you are. As a healer myself she is someone I recommend to those I work with that I know would benefit from the unique gifts she offers, she is a huge part of my Wellness Tribe here in Hood River, OR. I'm forever grateful!

Working with Soma has calmed my mind, integrated my body, and reignited my spirit. I have been living with depression for most of my life, and after Soma's 6-session treatment, I feel more alive and more like myself than I have in the last 5 years. I can't thank her enough for her generosity, caring attention, love, and skill. Thank you Soma! You're truly a miracle-worker.

My first session was a new experience. I didn't know what to expect. Soma was a great guide and created a comfortable and safe experience. I highly recommend this treatment for anyone. I left the session with a positive energy. I felt relieved of stress and felt a calmness. Thank you Soma. I'm looking forward to my next session.

I want to keep this simple. Quite frankly, Soma's therapy was wonderful. It helped me like nothing else I have tried ever has. Soma has a gift. I am so grateful that she shared it with me.

Soma has a fantastic presence for her work as a Cranial Sacral Therapist, her gentle touch, attentive nature and professionalism make it a great experience overall. I've been lucky to have series of treatments with her that supported my numerous chronic painful neck and back issues and were overall very relaxing. Do yourself a favor and book a session, or 6, with her to experience this gentle yet powerful modality for yourself!

I had no idea what cranial sacral therapy was all about until I was referred to Soma for treatment. From my first contact with her, I knew that I was meeting a kindred spirit who truly cared about my well-being. She is extremely kind and makes you feel very welcome. I feel very comfortable talking with her about everything that has been happening to me. Her treatment is very effective and zero's in to where it is needed the most. I usually go in having experienced a round of headaches and pain. When she is done, my headache is usually gone and I am extremely relaxed, and yet feel like I have just finished a marathon. I highly recommend Soma and her Therapy and love telling everyone about her that I can. Thank you Soma!!

I have several issues with my spine, and the muscles are always tense and in spasm. During Soma's cranial sacral treatment, my muscles finally relaxed and I noticed an immediate improvement . I can't wait to go back!

Soma is a gifted healer and facilitator. The combination of craniosacral and Aromatouch treatments were powerful and transformative. Soma provided a safe container and guidance for me to delve deep and unwind a lifetime of patterns. If you're ready to take your healing journey to the next level, I highly recommend Soma!

Soma provides a calm, soothing and safe environment. The conversation before cranial sacral therapy asking current state of being is a personal and professional approach. Her gentle, friendly demeanor and methodical work was welcoming after a long work week, in addition to assisting with healing of a past spinal injury. At a separate visit, the AromaTouch was perfect for complete relaxation. I highly recommend Soma's healing work!

Cranial Sacral with the lovely Soma has made an enormously positive impact on bringing clarity and peace into my life. I have been so grateful to have a handful of sessions with Soma, each building upon the last. She has a tender understanding and a graceful insight, that have allowed me to open up and bring in creative methods to enhance self love and mental space within. My last session with Soma went the deepest and most profound with the techniques of the practice thus far. I felt a sincere heart opening and lifting of my physical body to a space of calm knowing and trust. She is an intent listener and has a genuine spirit for my well being. Her touch is truly powerful and I hope all shall have the good fortune to experience a few sessions with Soma. The effects are far lasting the treatment. Thank you Soma!

I was intuitively drawn to working with Soma. At the time that I contacted her I was experiencing a flare up of sciatica as well as chronic neck pain. Almost all of this was alleviated after one treatment. I have a significant past with working with healers and Soma's work distinguishes itself in it's sheer power... she is a clear and humble channel. If you have the opportunity to work with her and are experiencing any doubts whatsoever let this testimony inform you- unless of course you don't really want to feel better :)

I've had the wonderful opportunity to work with Soma over the last few months and cannot say enough about the cranial sacral therapy she's provided to me. Her gentle healing touch and warm energy have benefited both my body and mind and I love watching her business blossom as she helps more and more people on their paths to health and well being. I highly recommend Soma as a caring and qualified clinician.

After suffering from a concussion, my naturopath prescribed Cranial-sacral therapy. I am grateful to find Soma who has been healing my concussion along with aliments I have had for 35 years. In my first session with Soma, the large mass which resulted from my concussion was almost gone. In addition, the constant headache and pressure was gone after the first session. During Cranial-sacral therapy, I have experienced moments of being pain free which is amazing for me since I have been in pain every day, all day, for 35 years. I had given up hope that I would ever experience my body without pain. Now, I have experienced the wonderful sensation of being pain free. I have hope now that being pain free will be my new normal. Not only that, I am feeling better overall and I am able to be more active with my family. Soma is a highly skilled, intelligent and knowledgeable therapist; above all, she heals. I am grateful for her work.

I am very grateful for Soma, and was excited that I found her practicing here in our community! The level of healing I experienced with her far exceeded my target from the original reason I scheduled the appointment to begin with. The benefits of her work are on-going and I am excited to continue this healing journey with her. Thank you Soma!

I'm a repeat cranial sacral therapy client of Soma's. Her sessions have been relaxing, therefore rejuvenating and also quite educational as she translates what she discovers about my body to be after our sessions. I like that she's now rolled essential oils into her practice. The AromaTouch technique is quite delightful and that in itself is worth enjoying and benefiting from. Learning which oils will aid me in what areas empowers me to better take care of me as a whole. I recommend this combination as a gift to give someone to experience for the first time.

As a nurse, I am particular about my health care. After multiple treatments, I found Soma is sensitive to her client's needs and able to customize their care plans through her varied knowledge of the cranial-sacral process. Her touch is directed, focused and gentle. I strongly recommend her as a cranial-sacral provider.

Soma's manner is so gentle I relax just being in her presence. I feel blessed to have received healing from such a warm, caring person. Her touch is magic !

To date I have had the pleasure of receiving the healing hands of Soma Peterson on three occasions for Cranial-Sacral therapy. Unfortunately, I can not say that I received these treatments for any specific reason or ailment. What I can say is this therapy is like nothing I have ever experienced. I know of nothing else that can bring about such relaxation, clarity of the mind and sense of well being. It seemed as though every nerve in my body and thought in my mind had been reset to a perfect state of calm. Soma has an energy, presence and touch that is nothing short of magical.

I have had several Cranial Sacral Treatments with Soma in the past year. She has a very quiet, gentle touch which was especially calming. One of my sessions I was experiencing a lot of tension in my jaw from a previous Chiropractic adjustment. Soma was still in school and just so happened to be studying the jaw. About 24 hours after my session with her the tension subsided. She is very passionate about her newly discovered calling and is excited to create a business for herself that encourages peace, gratitude and balance in her life...in the world...and in the body. Why not start with ``the head first``.
