1:1 Somatic Coaching Sessions
Your body is not a problem to fix.
Welcome. If you’ve found your way here, something inside you may be whispering: it’s time. Time to slow down, soften inward, and listen. Time to remember the wisdom that lives not in the mind, but in the quiet intelligence of your body—your breath, your heartbeat, your longing.
I'm Kari DeLuca, a somatic coach, healing facilitator, and somatic dance instructor. I offer 60- and 90-minute one-on-one sessions, held over Zoom or in our dedicated in-person space. Each session is an invitation—crafted with care and deep respect for your unique journey—to return home.
Your body is a story to listen to. A rhythm to move with. A sacred place to begin.
Somatic coaching meets you wherever you are—whether you’re navigating transition, healing old wounds, tending to emotional overwhelm, or simply longing to feel more fully alive, rooted, and whole.
Together, we transform. My approach weaves together a gentle yet powerful blend of:
Hakomi (mindfulness-centered somatic therapy)
Gestalt & Focusing (presence-based emotional inquiry)
Meditation, breath work & nervous system support
Embodied movement
…and my own soul-rooted approach, drawn from a lifetime of study, embodiment, and deep reverence for the healing process.
This is not one-size-fits-all work. Each session is a collaboration—a co-creation—shaped around your story, your needs, your readiness. It’s about listening to the language of your body and honoring what it knows.
For those beginning their journey, I recommend a series of 5–7 sessions, as meaningful transformation often unfolds over time. Many clients also find great value in monthly tune-ups to stay connected, integrated, and aligned. My role is to walk beside you—to empower, support, and reflect.
Ready to begin? Let’s start with a complimentary 20-minute consultation—a gentle meeting point to feel into your needs, ask questions, and see how this work resonates.

I trust your inner compass
Kari comes from a lineage of healers—both scientific and intuitive in nature. As the daughter of two clinical psychologists and the descendant of many generations of healing artists, she was steeped from birth in the language of the psyche and the wisdom of the body. Her path as a somatic coach is both inherited and hard-won.
A classically trained dancer, Kari’s relationship with the body is intimate, expressive, and deeply felt. It has been forged not only through beauty and discipline, but also through pain—navigating, and ultimately healing from, years of injury and illness. This experience awakened in her a profound respect for the body’s innate intelligence, as well as its ability to restore, recalibrate, and renew.
Highly sensitive and empathic, Kari offers a grounded, intuitive presence that invites clients into their own embodied truth. Her work is infused with reverence for the natural world and the unseen threads that connect us to something greater. Drawing from wisdom traditions, somatic modalities, and an unshakable belief in the body’s healing potential, Kari brings a unique blend of warmth, artistry, deep listening, and clear-eyed insight to her practice. Kari doesn’t just teach embodiment—she walks it, every day.
