SOMATIC THERAPY
in Portland, Oregon
When something in you is ready to shift
You may have been feeling stuck for a long time.
Or you may simply know that the way you’ve been feeling isn’t how you want to keep feeling.
At Moon Vibe, we offer a different kind of somatic care, rooted in deep attunement, embodied presence, and the experience of being truly met. We bring together Somatic Bodywork, movement, and Somatic Experiencing to meet you at every level of the body's healing process.
What changes things isn’t continuing to figure it out.
Change happens when you feel safe enough to soften.
Somatic Therapy in Portland
Feel better by going beyond talking about it
Somatic work is not simply a collection of techniques.
At Moon Vibe, our practitioners spend years developing the capacity for deep attunement, embodied presence, and a way of working that is being to being.
We listen beyond the words.
We listen to your body, your nervous system, what is happening between us, what wants space, what needs time, what may no longer need to be held so tightly.
This kind of presence can create a visceral experience of safety that allows protection to soften rather than asking you to push through it.
Clients often tell us:
“I’ve never felt like this before.”
“I didn’t know it was possible to feel like this.”
Our work is informed by Somatic Experiencing, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, and other somatic approaches. But what makes Moon Vibe different is not a technique.
It is the quality of presence we bring to the room.
What Brings You Here?
I can’t turn off
-
You carry a lot. And you’re good at it.
-
But your body doesn’t seem to know when the demand is over.
-
Your mind keeps going. Your muscles stay tight. You may feel wired and exhausted at the same time. Even when you finally have time to rest, actually relaxing can feel difficult.
-
You don’t have to be falling apart to need somewhere to put it all down.
I understand it. But I’m still stuck.
-
You’ve done the therapy. You understand your patterns. You may already know a lot about trauma and the nervous system.
-
And something still isn’t shifting.
-
Maybe you feel it in your jaw, shoulders, chest, stomach, hips, or in the way your whole body braces.
-
Maybe you can explain exactly why you feel the way you do.
-
You just don’t feel different yet.
-
Sometimes understanding isn’t the missing piece.
I don’t feel like myself.
-
Maybe you feel disconnected. Numb. Exhausted. Overwhelmed.
-
Or maybe you’ve gotten incredibly good at functioning without actually feeling fully present in your life.
-
Our work supports a deeper connection with your body, your emotions, your boundaries, your vitality, and yourself.
-
The goal isn’t to be calm all the time.
-
It’s to have more capacity to be here for your life.

Experienced Somatic Practitioners That Support Embodied Healing
Creator of Moon Vibe Sanctuary & Somatic Intuitive Healing®
Jessica Garay, RCST, SEP, PLC, ERYT-500
As the founder of this work, I’ve trained each practitioner in how to be with clients in a way that is deeply respectful, attuned, and grounded in the nervous system.
While I now focus more on teaching practitioners, somatic intensives, and group sessions, I remain closely connected to the work happening within this space. I work regularly with every practitioner and help guide them in deepening their own healing as well as skills to support their clients. As well as offer a few private sessions a month.
We are here, with you, to be with the truth of what is happening for you and support you through that to the other side.
