About Me
Hello, I am Michelle Montejano and I am delighted you are here. Soma Wisdom was born through my own journey walking the evolutionary path. It is a path that goes by many names, the pathless path, the path of awakening, the spiral path and yet it is ultimately nameless and only truly known to the one who walks it. I have come to know this path as holding duality and paradox, which can only be known through coming down into the body to be felt and sensed rather than understood. I have come to know it as a journey of healing and reclamation, death and rebirth, stillness and movement, feeling deeply and wholly, tenderness and mystifying strength, seeking and trusting, and unlearning, forgetting, and then remembering again.
Though my journey will not be yours, there is a sacred universality to the human experience. It is my greatest privilege to walk alongside those who have been hearing the whispers of their own Soul calling them back home to the Truth of who they are.
My Background and Experience
In addition to my personal inner work and devotion to my evolution, I am a trauma-trained psychotherapist and coach and draw upon my experience with and in-depth study of the following fields: trauma-informed neuroscience, somatic healing including Somatic Experiencing and Polyvagal Theory, developmental psychology and human growth, depth psychology, parts work and shadow work, Inner Child healing/reparenting, masculine-feminine polarity teachings and the Wild Woman archetype.
We are Nature
As cyclical beings, we are meant to traverse the full range of our natural rhythms: death and decay, regression, stillness, rebirth, renewal and growth.
We are Wired for Connection
When we are born, we do not come in with a fully developed nervous system. We are entirely dependent on our attachment figures to soothe us.
My Ethos
The Body is a Portal for Healing, Transformation, and Awakening
As a collective we have lost connection with the body, thus the modern human is disconnected from our deepest source of Truth.
Our Patterns are Intelligent Adaptations
Our patterns are always rooted in the biological impulse to survive. There is a profound shift that occurs when we relate to our ways of being as wise.

The Essence of Healing
The word healing comes from heal which means “to make sound or whole” and stems from the root, haelan, the condition or state of being hal, whole. Today, however, there is an implication that healing is a matter of eliminating, excising, or fixing. We have forgotten that healing is actually a matter of returning us to our wholeness, which encompasses all of it: searing pain and exquisite pleasure, profound grief and unbounded joy, immense fear and sublime wonder.
Our tendency as humans is to either become consumed by our emotional and somatic experience, that is to say to become flooded and overwhelmed to the extent that we lose contact with our Self or to turn away from or disconnect from it effectively shutting it down. But there is another way: we can turn toward our experience (emotions and sensations) and be with it. In “being with,” we stay tethered to ourselves as the witnessing presence and we cultivate the capacity to feel and experience all that we are designed to feel and experience.
True healing is not the eradication of pain. True healing is growing our capacity to hold it and to feel it without losing ourselves or suppressing it. My commitment to you is that I will not attempt to “rescue” you from your pain nor will I guide you in learning ways to distance yourself from your pain. My commitment to you is that I will sit with you in your pain for as long as you need and guide you in cultivating your capacity to actually allow yourself to feel it all, fully and completely.
Solana Beach Somatic Therapy: Reclaim Your Wholeness
In the serene coastal city of Solana Beach, California, individuals seeking profound healing and a deeper connection with themselves can find solace through somatic healing and therapy. This holistic approach transcends traditional talk therapy by integrating the mind, body, and nervous system, facilitating the release of trauma, stress, and emotional blockages.
At Soma Wisdom Healing, we provide a nurturing space for those eager to reconnect with their bodies and heal on a transformative level. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, chronic pain, or past trauma, our Solana Beach Somatic Healing services offer a pathway to resilience, inner peace, and self-discovery.
Understanding Somatic Coaching
Somatic healing is a therapeutic modality that emphasizes the intrinsic connection between the mind and body. By engaging with physical sensations, breathwork, movement, and mindfulness, clients can access and release stored trauma and stress. Our approach at Soma Wisdom Healing empowers individuals to become more embodied, leading to emotional regulation, enriched relationships, and overall well-being.
The Science Behind Somatic Healing
Research indicates that trauma resides within the body, not solely the mind. Unprocessed trauma can manifest as physical discomfort, tension, anxiety, or even chronic illness. Through somatic therapy techniques such as:
- Body awareness practices
- Guided movement and breathwork
- Trauma release exercises (TRE)
- Hands-on somatic touch therapy
- Nervous system regulation
clients can safely discharge stored trauma, fostering a sense of ease, empowerment, and connection.
