Meet The Practitioner

Chelsea is the Owner of RISE Coaching with her husband Matt Lapointe. Chelsea is a Holistic Health Coach and a Somatic Coach who is Certified and Trauma Informed. Her own journey to better health led her here. Chelsea experienced many challenges, trauma, and over 24 years of illness during her life before her healing journey began. Her journey led her to discovering the body’s innate intelligence and ability to heal itself. Using a holistic approach she has healed herself from multiple dis-eases in the body that were said to have “no cure”. The most profound shifts in her being came from reconnecting with her soma (The root of somatic is SOMA, which comes from ancient greek, it means “the body living in its wholeness”, mind, body, spirit).

“It is said that trauma is a disconnection from oneself, therefore healing requires reconnecting with oneself.”

Chelsea is passionate about empowering you with the knowing that everything you need is already within you and she is here to awaken the healer in you.

“Healing IS possible.”

FAQs

  • It is a healing modality similar to somatic experiencing, that professionals are trained in to support people in developing self-awareness, cultivating their mind-body connection, regulating their nervous systems, and releasing stress, unresolved emotions, or trauma stored in the body. Somatic Healing is not about anything external to oneself, it is about connecting to and using the body’s innate intelligence and ability to heal. Anything external has an agenda for your system, and the thing about using the body’s innate intelligence is that there is no other agenda, it is purely you and what you need to heal. Somatic Healing is deeply rooted in and focused on empowering you with the knowing that “everything you need is already within you.” Nothing external can do the inner work for you that is necessary for you to heal and return to wholeness. It is an inside job. The root of somatic is SOMA, which comes from ancient greek, it means “the body living in its wholeness”, mind, body, spirit.

  • Somatic healing is beneficial for individuals seeking to deepen their mind-body connection and overall well-being. It can also be beneficial for individuals who have experienced trauma, stress, or chronic pain. It can be beneficial for various conditions, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other stress-related disorders or illnesses.

  • A Certified and Trauma Informed Somatic Coach facilitates a journey inward, using the body in ways that are specifically designed for these sessions, as well as somatic coaching. The first half of the session is activating the body’s innate intelligence to bring up and clear out unprocessed emotions or trauma that are trapped in the body. You are guided each step of the way and you will experience a softer and gentler way to do the inner work without having to relive any past experiences. The body will release what is no longer serving you in various ways, it innately knows what it needs to do to heal and we must trust the process. The second half is focused on bringing you into a calm and relaxed state, calling in your intention for the session, and creating more balance and peace within. It is a powerful and liberating process and one of the most beautiful acts of self-love one could do for themselves. Your body deserves the opportunity to heal, and we know that this powerful modality can guide you towards a more vibrant and fulfilling life.

  • The duration of a Somatic Healing session is 90 minutes. The amount of sessions needed varies depending on the individual and the nature of their healing journey. Many people experience an immediate benefit and notice an improvement from one session. The pace of healing is unique to each person. It can range from a few sessions to several months or more.

  • Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, pillow, water bottle, journal & pen, and anything else that you would like to bring for comfort.
