Somatic Release Breathwork™ is a transformative embodiment practice that connects you to your body’s electrical network—the nervous system—helping release and alchemize stagnation and stuck emotions from repetitive thoughts, feelings, and old narratives. Using circular connected breathing and rhythmic music, it facilitates cathartic release—such as shaking, crying, or laughing—to clear blockages and restore balance to the nervous system.
Samara offers a unique approach tailored for women and Divine Feminine Embodiment. Her gentler method emphasizes allowing, receiving, and authentic expression, focusing on clearing and alchemizing stagnation in the chakra system and central channel, with special attention to the sacral, heart, and throat chakras. This nurturing practice invites you to deeply connect with your bodymind, unwind stored energy and emotions (like anger, wrath, grief, joy, and pleasure), and liberate the authentic Self. She will end the ceremony with hands-on energy work and Reiki, ensuring that each participant leaves feeling grounded and clear.
Many describe this experience as deeply transformative—akin to a plant medicine journey—for reclaiming true power and deepening into authenticity.
Samara is a guide, healer, and mentor for women on their healing and awakening journeys. She helps clients embody their mind-bodies and direct experience, heal and regulate the nervous system, and cultivate spiritual and intuitive gifts. Samara Healing + Awakening exists to catalyze spiritual awakenings, liberation from trauma + the confines of the small self, and the process of Divine Embodiment.
Her journey began with a sudden loss of vision in 2020, which sparked the beginning of a profound and ongoing spiritual awakening and led her to leave a misaligned life behind, confront deep trauma, and commit to a path of healing and devotion. Over the next five years, she studied and practiced over ten transformative modalities, transitioning from personal training to spiritual and trauma healing.
Samara works with modalities including somatic release breathwork, embodiment work, relational healing containers, expanded state practices, meditation, Reiki, energy work, hands-on healing, and somatics.
Her work creates a grounded, open, and clear field of support for deep transformation. Clients often find that months of working with Samara bring more healing than years of traditional therapy. Her practice is particularly supportive for spiritually oriented women healing from sexual trauma.
Deeply influenced by Tibetan Buddhism and the Goddesses of the Hindu pantheon, especially Durga and Kali Ma, Samara now lives a devotional life in Connecticut surrounded by soul family, working with clients across the East Coast and beyond.
Following the example of the new moon, we gather to take time to turn inward and set intentions for the next cycle ahead. This is a chance to build community with other women from all stages of life, spiritual traditions, and backgrounds, with open eyes, open ears, and loving hearts.
You can expect meditation, movement, crafting, intention setting, and an optional chance to share. At the closing of our ritual time together, we open into a community feast.

Bring your journal, mug/water, a food to share, and any other creature comforts you would like.

Ready to embrace a new self-care practice for deep relaxation and inner release?
Experience a powerful Ear (Auricular) Acupuncture session, enhanced with Reiki, to promote deep relaxation, emotional release, and inner balance.
This gentle yet effective technique involves the placement of five small, sterile needles on each ear, stimulating key points connected to various regions and organs of the body. Rather than targeting individual symptoms, this holistic approach helps restore balance, reduce stress and is a perfect opportunity to release thoughts, emotions, and patterns that no longer serve your highest well-being.
Originally developed as a supportive treatment for substance recovery, this acupuncture protocol has been widely recognized for its ability to:
- Induce a profound state of relaxation
- Improve sleep and digestion
- Support stress and pain management\
- Aid in processing grief, anger, and emotional overwhelm
- Assist in managing cravings and withdrawal symptoms
We will share group and personal Reiki transmission during this time and detox tea for our discussion afterward.
At the end of our session and to extend the benefits, small metal beads or seeds will be applied to select acupuncture points using a gentle adhesive. These remain in place for about a week, offering continued support. You can gently press these points throughout the day for a quick dose of relaxation and mindfulness.
This session is open to everyone, but please share any of the following conditions:
- Diabetes
- Pregnancy
- Pacemaker
- Hemophilia or bleeding disorders
- History of fainting or seizures
Please note: All participants must complete a waiver form before the session begins. For bleeding disorders ear beads may be used in place of needles.
Come as you are and leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more at peace.
