Toward Personal and Community Transformation
Somatic Coaching
The culture we live in demands we separate from our bodies to survive, which suspends us in states of dissociation, distraction, and desperation. Liberation, personal and collective, requires that we return to our bodies. Liberation asks us to restore our relationship to our bodies, each other’s bodies, and the Earth body.
We can explore how historical, social, and personal forces have shaped your embodiment and make clear the ways that you live in your body and the world. Together we can begin the process of moving toward ways of being that are aligned with your values and desires.

Full Spectrum Doula Care
We are lucky to offer full spectrum doula care from Amal Rogers, a sensitive Birth Justice Doula, who provides continuous care from conception to postpartum.
Amal’s doula care can include Somatic coaching and therapeutic movement to support the birthing person in fully meeting the moment of radical transformation that is pregnancy and birth.
Amal humbly supports all types of families - single parents, teen parents, gender expansive families and more. Whoever you are is welcome!
Amal’s role is to walk with you on your journey and to advocate for your autonomy and your family’s well-being. She will provide you the physical, emotional, and informational support needed during this sensitive and powerful time.
Amal can also provide compassionate support through pregnancy termination or loss.

Values
At Kaafi Wellness we believe that healing happens through relationships. To grow toward a society that is better for all of us we must cultivate skills of awareness and skills of loving. We must re-member our relationship to our bodies, to each other’s bodies, and to the land. Earnest engagement with holistic practices of care and inquiry can move us toward a better world.
We practice a politicized approach to wellness in which we recognize the historical, social, and inter-personal forces that shape our reality. As practitioners and administrators, we assess our own experiences and positions and we consistently reflect on our actions and adjust our path to stay aligned with our values.
We believe quality care should be accessible and we create structures, like sliding scale fees, affinity practice groups, and movement modifications, to ensure it is so.

Frequently Asked Questions
I am recovering from an injury, is Therapeutic Movement right for me?
Yes! And, Therapeutic Movement is not physical therapy. If you are you have an acute injury, or any other concern, please confer with a doctor before beginning Therapeutic Movement.
I am seeing a therapist to process childhood trauma, can Somatic Coaching help?
Yes! Somatic Coaching can be an effective supplement to clinical therapy. With Somatic Coaching you can discover how your experiences live in your body and can make room for new choices.
Is Somatic Coaching therapy?
No. It may be therapeutic but it is not a substitute for clinical therapy. One distinction is that Coaching is goals and future focused – helping to answer questions like ‘what do you want your life to feel like?’ A somatic coach should recommend clinical therapy if your needs are beyond their scope.
Do you offer scholarships?
We will! We are developing a plan to offer a portion of our weekly available session slots for free. These slots will be funded by those who pay higher on our sliding scale.
What does Kaafi mean?
Kaafi means complete, sufficient, whole in the Somali language. Somali is the mothertongue of our founder.
I am interested in a combination of Somatic Coaching and Therapeutic Movement. Is this possible?
Yes! We can design a program for you that combines our two signature offerings – Somatic Coaching and Therapeutic Movement. The program design will reflect your goals, but it can look like alternating between the two modalities each week, or even within a single session.
