Somatic & Intuitive Coaching

Somatic and Intuitive Coaching is Dr. Tarakali's synthesis of over 35 years of studying body-mind-spirit approaches to learning and healing.

Are you stuck in repetitive behavior patterns, even when you know better


No matter how entrenched your habits are, your body has the agency and intelligence to create new ways of being. 

Dr. Tarakali is here to teach you how to collaborate with your wise body.


Intuitive Reading


When you have an important decision to make, are navigating a life transition, or simply looking for a fresh perspective, an Intuitive Reading can provide clarity and direction.

Dr. Tarakali’s intuitive readings are downloads of information read directly from your subtle body or energy field. Readings can unearth refreshing and unexpected insights.


4 Somatic & Intuitive Coaching Sessions

A typical hour-long session may include:

* educational or goal-setting conversations

* remote somatic and intuitive bodywork 
(remote energywork + props + your body's resources: hands, breath, position, attention)

* movement practices

* rehearse new somatic responses

* guided sensory awareness or mindfulness practices

Intuitive Readers Training

The purpose of a reading is to support the readee’s agency and co-creative relationship with Life. 


Intuitive readers need to cultivate a balance of self-compassion and self-responsibility within themselves so that they can perceive and support this same balance in their readees.


In this experiential class, students will learn and hone intuitive reading skills based on the teachings of Phyllis Pay and the Intuitive Energy Center of Berkeley, California. 


The Spring 2024 group will start Wednesday, April 3.


We will meet for 8 weeks (excluding April 10) until May 29.

Sessions will run from 5-6:30 pm/8-9:30 pm PT/ET.

Neurodivergent Somatic Group Coaching

It's time to befriend your neurodivergent body and embrace your neurodivergent truths.

This group somatic coaching series is designed for people who identify with the labels neurodivergent, autistic or adhd. 

We will share our passions and struggles, and practice somatic and intuitive tools to sustain functional and fulfilling lives as neurodivergent beings. 



Energy Healing

Dr. Tarakali has been sensitive to subtle energies since she was a child. 


At 17 she learned energy work moves from a book. She found her niche at parties by asking people, "does anyone have a headache?" and using polarity to dissolve their pain.
