Dori Edwards: Author, Somatic Storyteller, Movement Facilitator


My journey is about exploring the depths of our inner world through somatic practices, embodiment, and the power of storytelling. I'm here to guide you on a path of self-discovery, healing, and transformation.

For years, I chased a vision of the perfect life, constantly running from the present moment. It was a life that seemed just out of reach, filled with faraway places and unattainable goals. My own struggles with panic attacks, fear, and self-doubt left me feeling broken and disconnected from my true self.

I understand the longing to escape, the desire for a life that seems better and more fulfilling. But I've come to realize that true transformation happens when we embrace the present moment and find safety within it. It's when we learn to trust ourselves, to hold our emotions with compassion, and to honor the full spectrum of human experience.

Somatic practices have been my lifeline, allowing me to build a profound relationship with my body's wisdom and the impermanence of life. Through these practices, I've uncovered a new way of being present, letting go of the need to control or escape. I've found the joy in receptivity, the ease in flow, and the power in holding my own life.

I invite you to join me in this journey of self-discovery and transformation. Together, we can create a future free from fear, shame, and anxiety. We can process the uncharted territory within us, untangle our emotions, and find a renewed strength to navigate life with love and compassion.

I'm here to witness your journey, to guide you as you witness yourself, and to help you expand into the incredible potential that lies within you. It's a journey of bravery, of holding multiple truths, and of experiencing life with newfound strength. I'm here to support you on your path to healing and transformation.
