SOMA Series
The SOMA Structural Integration® Series is a systematic and sequential process of eleven (11) ninety-minute sessions that use manual and movement therapy techniques to rebalance the body’s fascial web. The result is improved physical performance.
This Series addresses breath, balance, mobility, coordination and function limitations that can fatigue the body and overwhelm the mind. These limitations often stem from a backlog of injuries and stressors that have accumulated over years into knots or scar tissues -- also known as a ‘shortened’ connective tissue network.
Post-series bodies are more fluid, vital, efficient, powerful and resilient. Post-series minds are more clear, creative, logical and self-aware.
Calling and emailing Aric with questions about the SOMA series is appreciated and welcomed. If you have been considering structural integration for a while or are new to the concept, you may benefit from contacting Aric for a free in-studio consultation—approximately 30 minutes. This allows us to meet and, if you like, I will ‘read’ your posture for specific patterns of what’s working well and what’s compensating.
This is a pretty magical thing. Incredible insight can be gained through illiciting brand new awarenesses that help us paint a story of how our bodies have managed with the stress of life.
"'I'm in no pain at all.' That's the first time I can say that in years. Since the series with you, I still haven't had a massage, and I was addicted to those just to be able to stand up straight and walk before SOMA!"

"Aric truly listens to me and my body. Together we are making terrific headway on teaching my body new patterns and getting rid of the old. Post-car accident the fall of 2008, I’ve had significant discomfort and pain on the right side of my body. At the request of my chiropractor, Melissa Carlson, I made my first appointment with Aric. During my sessions with Aric, he has listened and together we fine-tuned our plan of healing. In the last two sessions, I found I’m actually able to take a full length stride with my right leg without cramping and pain. This is a really big step in the right direction, as I love to walk and need to keep up with my active grandchildren. In addition, there is less pain when I’m driving as part of my work. I highly recommend Aric and his Soma Massage techniques to anyone who is suffering from tightness, pain, aching or burning."

“After a rough journey on an ancient bus traveling over the Andes from Chile to Argentina, I disembarked feeling 'together,' with no aches and pains while my fellow travelers complained stiffness and aches. I thanked Aric all the way from the ends of the earth for helping me prepare for my trip with SOMA treatment work.”
