My anxiety is wrecking me.
Awareness of our thoughts is the first step to managing them. Yogic awareness practices on YouTube will introduce you to the stillness within you. Then, if you want to make a lasting change in your sense of well being, sign up for a 3-6 week program to learn and practice basic techniques to help you through a tough time.

"I’ve been injured since 2018 and I can now say that I’m looking at life in a total different way. The way Astra explains and expresses herself helps your mindfulness. Her way of teaching stimulates the body and mind in the most gentle, yet effective ways. Her techniques that bring me a peace I’ve never felt in my life."

FAQs
Is Clinical Somatics covered by insurance?
Sometimes. Following an automobile accident, some insurance agreements allow claimants to receive reimbursement for services. In these cases, clients pay up front and Somatic Healing by Astra provides a superbill for the insurance claim.
How long does it take to feel results?
It all depends on the nature of the injury and level of pain - it’s all relative. You should notice results immediately, but in order for your nervous system to undergo a lasting change, the exercises need to be practiced regularly. If you opt for 1-1 Clinical Somatics education, if you follow a suggested course depending on your needs, you have the chance to learn customized exercises, practice and refine them, and create a short customized program to continue at home. Then you are in control.
What if I sign up for a course and get no results?
Hey- it happens. If you feel that you gave it a shot and this caused you angst in any way, send me an email or call and I will listen to what you have to say. Trying to get the hang of a movement practice over the internet is not easy and it could be that you are missing some aspect of the practice without a teacher to guide you. If you need guidance, ask.
