Welcome to Mindbody Somatics

Virtual and In-Person Somatic Bodywork and Coaching with Lennon Molofsky

Welcome

Perhaps you’ve heard of somatic bodywork or somatic coaching and you’re curious how it can support you. Perhaps you’ve done therapy and learned a lot about yourself but you still feel stuck. Maybe you have a sense that your body is trying to get your attention.

Soma means the body as a whole – incorporating all of you. Most of us live in our heads and forget our bodies. Why is it important to live in your body? Because your body has a conditioned way of holding tension around the issues that cause you stress, and it is very difficult to change without first letting go of that tension.

Somatic work is an invitation to learn to trust yourself. It’s a path of becoming settled in yourself and feeling more present, open, authentic, connected, and empowered. Your body is the guide on this path. After all, if you could think your way into making the changes you want for yourself, you would be there by now.

I provide trauma-informed somatic bodywork, coaching, and practices designed to help you let go of old patterns and step into more awareness and more choice. Contact me or schedule an appointment today.

What People Say About Lennon

  • "Lennon facilitated my creation of a sense of empowerment and accountability in my life at a time when I had lost it. Through our work together, I felt myself crawl out of a dark pit and blossom into a version of me I had forgotten was possible."

    — Layla A.

  • "To say that his work, even after my very first session, was transformative, isn't a strong enough statement. Lennon is exceptional at what he does, has the utmost respect for his clients, and is able to build trust almost instantly."

    — Amber P.

  • "What I experienced was more profound than I could have imagined. And I say that coming from 20 years as a massage therapist myself specializing in medical massage. Lennon was caring and skillful as well as extremely present and intuitive."

    — Erica L.

  • "Lennon's skill and care were tremendously supportive to me through a difficult time. Not only did he help me truly listen to my body, and intuition, over a year-long process that resulted in a huge life transition, he also helped me trust myself again."

    — Jakey T.

  • "Lennon is by far the best bodyworker I have found. He is highly skilled in reading bodies while holding a crisp coaching dialogue. I could not recommend anyone more."

    — Amy C.

  • "Just one session with Lennon improved my breathing, reduced strain in my vocal cords, released long held tension that wouldn’t budge with traditional massage. And most importantly helped me develop a stronger sense of safety and joy of inhabiting my one and only body."

    — Beth M.

  • "The bodywork sessions I've had with Lennon have been truly transformative and supportive in my embodiment journey. His genuine concern and empathy have created a safe environment for openings to happen and allowed the armorings in my body to let go more and much faster than I would've expected."

    — Joel A.

  • "Before working with Lennon I was experiencing daily debilitating headaches for over a year. Within two sessions, I had drastic improvement and started to experience non-headache days. Lennon’s work is transformative in more ways than one."

    — Rachel H.

  • "Lennon made me feel comfortable and safe right away. In one session, I released some long-held pain. He listened deeply, asked great questions, and knew where to focus somatically or invite me to explore further. Afterwards he helped me identify some next steps to continue my healing."

    — K.R.

Somatic Coaching

Stress, anxiety, and trauma are held in your body in ways that impair your ability to be present, open, and connected. Somatic coaching is a powerful way to learn how you create that holding and how you can release it.
