SOMA
is the Greek word for body. The practice of somatics is an inquiry into knowing ourselves and the world around us, by listening to the body and its language.
The Somatic Institute for Women offers educator trainings, workshops & resources that foster a deep connection with your somatic world, This connection can gift us with living life from the direct experience of wholeness, from who you are at your core.
From this place, you are able to rest into a natural sense of freedom and belonging, sourced from within, as the foundation for how you show up in the world.
WELCOME TO A SANCTUARY FOR WOMEN CRAVING A GROUNDED, EMBODIED EXPLORATION OF THE FEMININE
Hello Fellow truth seeker!
I’m Maanee Chrystal — Somatic Psychotherapist, Dance Therapist, Erotic Educator, and Founder of The Somatic Institute for Women.
I’m known for my grounded, no-bullshit approach to somatics, shadow work, and sensuality. My work cuts through performance, spiritual bypass, and inherited narratives of what it means to “be feminine,” guiding women back into the raw intelligence of their bodies and the sovereignty of their own embodied truth.
I am an embodied researcher of the hidden, suppressed, and denied aspects of self both personal and collective. I weave deep somatic sensing, shadow integration, and the reclamation of the organic feminine principle into every training, teacher certification, and offering inside the Institute. Over the years, I’ve supported more than 140,000 women in dismantling limiting constructs around femininity and reclaiming a more natural, regulated, and powerful embodiment.
To me, shadow work, trauma integration, somatics, and women’s empowerment are not trends, they are forms of embodied activism. In a world that is increasingly disembodied and disconnected, I believe bringing these themes to the center of our lives is essential if we desire lasting, integrated change.
I stand for a world where women feel safe, alive, and free in their bodies in their hearts, minds, sexuality, spirituality, and eroticism, beyond the confined constructs of patriarchal femininity that have contorted us away from our innate aliveness.
This is why I founded The Somatic Institute for Women.
