Welcome! My name is Mandy Snyder.
I am a somatic healer, group facilitator and expressive arts teacher who fosters authentic connection, soulful creativity and transformative healing with in-person and online groups as well as individual sessions. If you are seeking more joy, self-expression, and personal empowerment, I invite you to dive in.
I offer personal healing opportunities in both individual sessions and group formats. These combine Somatic Experiencing, IFS-informed parts work, and other embodied approaches from dance and mindfulness. We come home to the body, listen to the voices within and attend to them with compassion. There is a focus on emotional healing, trauma resolution and self-discovery.
Participants often report feeling more seen and known. Because my work was born out of a journey of significant health challenges and emotional upheaval, I have lived experience that these practices work. They radically improved the quality of my life and I am excited to share them with you.
I also have offerings in expressive arts and embodied storytelling. These classes are a places to return to the essence of you and tap into your inherent creativity. They are rich and connective. Offerings combine elements of creative movement, theater, voice, drawing and writing. These groups are a fertile ground to free up your expression, invite insight and spark healing.
If you feel drawn to my work, please reach out with any questions or sign up for a free 20-minute chat.
I am so glad you found me and I look forward to meeting you.
In Gratitude,
Mandy.

Individual Sessions:
Somatic Healing Sessions with Parts Work for trauma resolution, emotional healing, self-discovery and personal expression. These sessions combine elements of Somatic Experiencing with Parts Work (IFS), creativity and more. I help guide you towards your own wisdom and teach you skills for working with challenging emotions. While personal healing can require courage as you meet inner challenges, my aim is to bring gentleness, and even some playfulness, to add light to dark spaces.
