Testimonials
“Working with Dusty at Every Body Somatics has been, hands down, one of the most powerful things I have done for my recovery in over 16 years. He's gentle and affirming but also incredibly knowledgeable and skillful. I appreciate that he will pause in real time to check in with his body and use the tools EXACTLY as he teaches me to do. It's such powerful modeling, and it creates a space for learning, safety, and retraining.
I am becoming more at home in my body, which means that I don't have as many overpowering emotions come "out of nowhere." I have a sense of where they come from now, and they don't overpower me as much or for as long. My "felt sense" of my own body is improving, and the more at home I feel in my body, the more I have room for the rascally, scared, people-pleasing, and rebellious parts of myself.
In summary, Dusty's gentle but clear guidance has helped me feel more present and safe in my body. And as I am safer there, I have the emotional room to love and care for all the unloved, uncared-for parts of myself. Which is, to me, the key to a better relationship with my wife, better physical health, more presence in my work, and more all around fun.
Highly, highly recommended.”

“Dusty is a wonderfully supportive, kind, and knowledgeable practitioner. I think what makes his approach so unique and helpful is that it’s based on a combination of theory and, more importantly, his own experience of consistent practice/work and deeply living what he teaches. I feel that he truly sees, hears, and understands me, which has been so supportive in my healing journey. Through working with Dusty, I’ve incorporated somatic practices and parts work into my daily life, and the results have been transformative. I’m so incredibly grateful!”

“Dusty is an incredibly empathetic and passionate practitioner with a wealth of knowledge and a true and sincere desire to help. He provided me with a series of tools and explanations that bridged scientific and anatomical information with an intuitive and embodied strategy for addressing nervous system dysregulation. Our sessions were incredibly helpful and gave me a clear framework for somatic modalities, which is something I really needed given the amount of misinformation on the internet. I came away with a new understanding of the nervous system, a new vocabulary for my lived experiences, and many new tools to help me stay grounded and centered in the future when stressors arise. It was such a great experience and I would recommend Dusty to anyone who is interested in somatics but feels lost about how to apply the ideas. He's a wonderful resource!”

I avoided somatic work my whole life because it didn't seem tangible or actionable enough. At least, that's what I thought. Turns out I avoided it because it's scary and difficult. And it also turns out that it's the modality that has helped me more in the last four months than talk therapy did in the last 40 years. Don't get me wrong; every modality has its place, and I certainly benefited (and continue to benefit) from more talk-based therapy.
But doing somatic work with Dusty has slowly started to put me back on friendlier terms with my nervous system and body as a whole. In my experience, it's not a linear or "smooth sailing" type of proposition. In fact, it's some of the hardest personal growth work I've ever done. But the difference overall in my life is clear: 1) more confidence and optimism and less depression, 2) more moments of peace and strength and less anxiety, and 3) more self-acceptance and self-compassion and less shame.
I'm so grateful to have found Dusty and somatic therapy; I just wish I had started sooner! As I said, this stuff isn't easy. In fact, it's next-level ish. But it's so worth it, and there is no one I would rather be doing this work with than Dusty!

We've been able to find friendship in one another and I admire the time spent in our sessions.
