  • The Somaya Method is for people ready to do the deepest work of their lives, who feel courageous enough to face themselves and grow, who are ready to heal, optimize their inner and outer ROI’s, and more fully express their unique potential. It’s for those who:

    • Sense there’s more life, more possibility, but possibly feel stuck or blocked

    • Want to heal from trauma, emotional pain, or past wounds

    • Are open to a body-centered, somatic, nervous system-based approach

    • Are drawn to transformational, consciousness-expanding work

    • Are willing to commit to integration, reflection, and self inquiry, through this experience and far beyond it

    We serve individuals, couples, and groups who want to go beyond surface change, and who are ready to meet themselves and/or each other fully, and in wholeness.

  • After an initial discovery call and saying “yes” to this journey, your process begins with a medical intake and screening to help us understand your health and psychological history and assess safety. From there, we move forward with two private preparation calls with Hannah Blake. Additionally, you will receive guidance, protocols, and practices to begin orienting your mind, body, and nervous system before entering into the in-person container.

    The core journeys we offer are three-day in-person retreats. Over three days, you are held in a safe, trauma-informed environment. The container includes somatic modalities, guided inner work, nervous system regulation, breathwork, movement, embodiment practices, and possibly access to nonordinary states of consciousness (depending on your path with Somaya). But this is not “three days and you’re done.” The three-day container is the intensive, catalytic portion. Healing, embodiment, integration, and transformation continue beyond.

    After the intensive, you’ll be supported in integrating the experiences, anchoring new patterns, grounding insights, and translating shifts into everyday life. Each client is offered two integration calls with Hannah. We typically recommend ongoing support (integration work, somatic practices, coaching or therapy) following the retreat to embed the shifts long term. The deeper work is within living from new structures, practices, and awareness in your daily life.

    From first inquiry to full integration, people often experience the work unfolding over weeks to months, and for some, even years.

  • Every journey is uniquely tailored to the needs, goals and perspectives of each client. No two processes are the same. As such, your journey may be completely customized to you. That said, we lean on the structural pillars of the following modalities to guide the process:

    • Somatic and Therapeutic Movement and Discharging of Stagnation

    • Somatic “Parts Work”

    • Neuroplasticity and Non-ordinary States of Consciousness

    • Transpersonal Psychology Frameworks

    • Subconscious Rewiring and Brain Mapping

    • Nervous System Regulation and Brain Stem Resetting

    • Holotropic Breathwork

    • Therapeutic Bodywork

    • Sound Healing

    • Nutritional, Healthy Meals

    • A wide referral network of highly skilled physicians, psychologists and specialists to continue your journey with (as needed)

  • Oregon has created the first state-regulated system in the U.S. for psilocybin services. Under Measure 109, adults over 21 can legally access psilocybin only at licensed service centers, with trained and licensed facilitators present.

    The Somaya Method partners with Omnia Group in Ashland, a fully licensed psilocybin service center. This partnership allows us to offer legal, compliant psilocybin journeys within Oregon’s official regulatory system. All psilocybin experiences facilitated through Somaya occur under Omnia Group’s legal license and safety protocols.

    Disclaimer:
    The information provided here is for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Psilocybin remains a federally controlled substance. Participation in psilocybin services through Somaya and its partners is only permitted within Oregon’s licensed regulatory framework and subject to applicable state and local laws.

  • Team Somaya, and the Somaya Framework, works within and respects each client’s worldview, and we do not prescribe one onto the client.
