About
The purpose of Body Sound Soul is to support, celebrate and center the rest, healing and joy of Black, Indigenous, people of color, LGBTQ2SIA+ and marginalized identifying individuals through each phase of life as they walk through various challenges, joys, traumas, transitions and sensations…coming into greater balance within themselves. Through bodywork and sound healing, this practice is meant to nourish them as they hold space for all those that rely on them in their own lives, and generations to come.
Through exploration of healing trauma in herself, and through her extensive training and caring for others, Alberta realized the deep need for trauma informed, culturally appropriate care in as many spaces as possible. It is because of this need that she created Body Sound Soul.
Trauma is unpredictable and different in every person. We can have trauma from so many different kinds of things including intergenerational, racial, sexual, domestic, chronic stress, accidents and injury. Often times this can create feelings of isolation, sadness, overwhelm, or anxiety, preventing people from getting the kind of bodywork they want, in a setting that feels safe. Trauma also creates a physical environment where the nervous system rarely has a chance to let go and heal the body.
This practice is designed to meet people where they are in this healing process spiritually, emotionally and physically. With regards to location, sometimes people feel more comfortable doing this type of deep work in a home setting, their own space, or in nature. This practice has a zero tolerance policy for fat-phobia, transphobia, homophobia, sexual harassment, misogyny, and racism. This is a sacred, holistic space held for those who truly seek it, and need it.
