Somatic Experiencing® in Palm Springs

A body-based path to healing trauma, stress, and overwhelm

I'm Felina Danalis, a certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP) and trauma-informed coach.


I offer in-person somatic coaching in Palm Springs, California—a nervous-system-based approach to healing that is gentle, effective, and grounded in science.

Why Somatics?

If you’ve tried talk therapy and still feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected... your body may be holding onto more than your mind can process alone.

Somatics is the missing link—because it works through the body.

With Somatic Experiencing, we support your body’s natural ability to heal and regulate itself, at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

R.W. , Palm Springs, CA

After years of burnout from a high-powered tech job, I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. When I was initially diagnosed, I thought I was done for. In working with Felina, I realized just how disconnected from my body I was, how much wisdom the body holds, and how powerful tapping into the energy and wisdom of the body can be. Now I feel more connected to myself, my friends, and my community.
