SOMATIC THERAPY & BODYWORK
In Portland, Oregon
Nervous System Healing Through Somatic Intuitive Healing®
At Moon Vibe Sanctuary, we offer somatic therapy and bodywork designed to support nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and deeper connection to your body.
Our work is rooted in Somatic Intuitive Healing®, a trauma-informed, presence-based approach that blends elements of:
-
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
-
Somatic Experiencing
-
Yoga Therapy and somatic movement
-
Energy-based and traditional healing practices
Sessions are gentle, non-invasive, and deeply relational to support your system in unwinding patterns of stress, tension, and overwhelm.
Our Approach: Somatic Intuitive Healing®
What makes this work unique is the integration of bodywork, trauma awareness, & presence.
All sessions are grounded in:
-
Slowing down the nervous system
-
Listening to the body rather than overriding it
-
Supporting natural resolution rather than forcing change
This is not a symptom-focused or technique-heavy model. It is a relational process, where change happens through presence, pacing, and attunement. Each practitioner blends together somatic bodywork with Somatic Experiencing® to support a whole system process of change and healing. You are held in deep listening, attention, and care as you are carefully guided to connect more deeply to your own inner wisdom. Every practitioner has been trained under the guidance of Moon Vibe Sanctuary founder, Jessica Garay and continues to deepen their skills under direct supervision. This is a place where you can trust that every practitioner is skilled and knowledgeable so that you can feel held in safety and work more deeply in your healing.

Why Clients Choose This Work
Clients often come for symptom relief but stay because of how this work helps them:
-
Feel more grounded and present
-
Reduce anxiety and nervous system reactivity
-
Develop a deeper relationship with their body
-
Experience lasting change rather than temporary relief
All practitioners at Moon Vibe Sanctuary are:
-
Personally trained by founder Jessica Garay
-
Educated in Somatic Experiencing
-
Experienced in complementary modalities such as yoga therapy, craniosacral therapy, coaching, and traditional healing systems
-
Supported through ongoing mentorship and connection to the work
While each practitioner brings a unique background, all sessions are rooted in the same Somatic Intuitive Healing® method.
This means you receive consistent, high-quality care while building a meaningful relationship with your practitioner over time. For this reason and because this work is relational, most clients continue working with the same practitioner over time which supports a deeply healing process that many clients have been unable to find in other modalities.
Creator of Moon Vibe Sanctuary & Somatic Intuitive Healing®
Jessica Garay, RCST, BCST, PLC
As the founder of this work, I’ve trained each practitioner in how to be with clients in a way that is deeply respectful, attuned, and grounded in the nervous system.
While I now focus more on teaching, group work and supporting practitioners, I remain closely connected to the work happening within this space. I work regularly with every practitioner and help guide them in deepening their own healing as well as skills to support their clients.
You are in trusted hands.
