Mobilize healing and actualization of self and culture through Reiki, somatics, sound, and community in Boulder CO.
Welcome to Somatique
Welcome to Somatique. I'm Sara, healer, guide, ally, and friend along your path. As a Reiki Master in the Usui Lineage, I also carry certificates in Somatic Stress Release, Yoga instruction, breathwork, and meditation. I have been supporting others in their journeys of empowerment and healing since 2014.
My college education in Anthropology led me down a path studying healing practices across a wide diversity of cultures. Through this lens I recognized patterns that suggested that intentionality, receiving care, symbolic action, meaning, and expectation or belief can genuinely influence an individual's psyche, body, and ability to heal.
A key pattern I noticed is that healing is communal. Receiving care and connection is significant. When done conscientiously, our healing goes hand in hand with the healing of our culture, and can lead to actualizing our dreams and stepping into the higher self we envision for ourselves.
At Somatique, there's no magical thinking necessary. I bring a grounded and integrative approach to every session, implementing Reiki energy healing alongside somatic techniques, meditation, and breathwork practices. This multi-modal approach helps you get the most out of your experience and walk away with tools to apply in your own life.
Each experience is tailored to your unique needs, and evolves with you over time.
​
To support our social layer of vitality I take actions to build community among clients, serving as a connector and curating group experiences that promote a greater sense of connection.
At its core, this work is about creating a safe and intentional space where we can heal and transform on the scale of the individual and from there, ripple out to heal and evolve the culture.
And it all begins with Reiki and other modalities right here in Boulder, CO.
I look forward to connecting with you and learning more about you!
~Sara
"Sara is an exceptionally skilled Reiki practitioner whose approach transcends traditional Reiki modalities. My experience working with her was deeply supportive and nurturing. After the initial intake she knew exactly how to guide and support me going forward. We began breath and movement practices before taking the deeper dive into the energetics. She has a gift for intuiting what is moving through you and articulating with very intentional use of words to support activating your own understanding of self and body. After some time on the table I began to notice a strong activation within my subconscious encouraging my body and mind's own intelligence to come online. What stands out about Sara's practice is her ability to empower you to access your own inner intelligence. Sara’s work is not only a healing session but an invitation to reconnect with your own innate capacity for self-awareness and transformation. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a deeply holistic and transformative healing experience." - S.D.
Sometimes we are meant to be healed. Sometimes we are meant to be held.
An evidenced-based approach to Reiki
In 1922, Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki, introduced a framework for exploring healing, intention, and connection through the concept of energy healing. While the literal transfer of universal energy remains beyond scientific verification, Usui’s work offers a profound symbolic foundation for the healing process.
​
At Somatique, we honor Master Usui’s legacy as an invitation to explore both the known and the unknown. By integrating modern understandings of the mind-body connection, somatic practice, and the psychology of care with Usui’s teachings, we carry forward the spirit of his work in a grounded, updated way. This approach respects the Reiki lineage while prioritizing intellectual integrity, setting Somatique in Boulder, CO apart as a unique and evolving healing practice.

Specializations
Through somatic Reiki, I support clients in Boulder, CO and remotely across a wide range of areas, with particular focus on:
Healing is communal
My anthropology studies revealed timeless patterns of healing across cultures: connection, intentionality, and community. From ancient rituals to modern practices, healing often unfolds in shared spaces of meaning, belonging, and care.
​
In other words, we heal together.
​
These patterns across time and cultures are reminders that healing is communal. This wisdom inspires and informs my work today, as I bring personal healing together with community care.

Physics, Consciousness, & Healing
Science hasn’t fully explained energy and consciousness, but quantum physics reveals a universe of interconnected and surprising phenomena, like entanglement and superposition. While these don’t directly explain Reiki, they show how unseen forces can have profound effects.
Consciousness, intention, and belief also play powerful roles in healing, as demonstrated by the placebo effect and the benefits of focused care. Reiki provides a frame in which we can work together to restore balance, calm the nervous system, and catalyze emotional expression—these are outcomes that science recognizes as vital for health, even if the mechanisms remain mysterious.
By considering traditional practice AND empirical research, Somatique's integrative Reiki experience offers a holistic path to well-being, exploring the gap between what we understand and what we are still discovering.
About Sara
I recently moved to Boulder from Bishop, CA, a rural mountain town. I am excited to offer healing and transformational experiences to the Boulder community as a Reiki Master in the Usui lineage, with certifications in somatic stress release, yoga, and breathwork, and over a decade of experience in the healing arts.
I bring an evidence-based approach to energy healing and bring an emphasis to community connection and cultural healing. At the heart of my practice is a commitment to the art of creating transformative spaces where you can reconnect with yourself and the whole of life.
Beyond my Reiki practice I am also a singer, writer, aerialist, and avid hiker. The mountains are my sanctuary, I am obsessed with wildflowers, and I find deep inspiration in and appreciation for nature's unspeakable beauty and grounding rhythms.
