SPIRITUAL SOMATIC & ENERGETIC GUIDANCE

Your emotions get the best of you and you're tired of letting them consume you.

My spiritual, somatic, and energetic guidance can teach you how to access your body and allow emotions to move through you instead of letting them consume you.

Welcome,

I’m Sonia.

The name, Obsidian Woman, is a symbol of my ongoing decolonization journey and an introduction to my work beyond my therapist role (Yes, I am a therapist). Some have called me a healer, curandera, medicine woman, and energy bruja; you can refer to me however you’d like. I chose Obsidian Woman because, like the ancient stone, at the root of my being, I am an anchor and I am here to serve as a facilitator of healing. I can help you access your body and intuition to create lasting change in your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health.

Guiding and helping people access their own medicine are gifts I’ve received while healing from my own traumas and chronic pain as well as from being a practicing psychotherapist for nearly a decade. I hold deep respect for this work and I am committed to continue seeking and receiving guidance so that I can serve and share my work with integrity. My healing journey for the past ten years has been guided by elders, mentors, healers, therapists, ancestors, and the alchemy of Obsidian.

All of my offerings revolve around the notion that our body is an ancient tool for healing, and when we avoid uncomfortable emotions it causes harm to our body. When we allow our body to lead us in processing emotions, we experience the true, ancient definition of (e-motion)-- energy in motion. This teaching is the core of every offering I create. I believe society is making a grave mistake in ignoring the real impact emotions have on our well-being and health. My mission is to demystify uncomfortable emotions and treat emotional pain through spiritual, somatic, and energetic healing practices. 

As you explore my website, I ask that you share my work with anyone who comes to mind. I hope you find what you need here and more. I’ll leave you with a somatic exercise and energy release if you feel called to practice:

Take a moment to notice any physical sensations in your body. Try to soften your forehead, unclench your jaw, and drop your shoulders. Inhale deeply, hold your breath for a second or three, now release.

with ♡,

Sonia Fregoso

Slow down and reconnect with your true self.

    Working with Sonia over the last year has been life changing. Through her use of somatic practices I have had the ability to reconnect with my body after a lifetime of disconnecting and numbing. Through her gentle guidance and wisdom with somatic practices, healing I never thought possible has taken place within me. Through this process Sonia has been extremely gentle and patient with me. I am forever grateful for being able to connect with her and work with her on my healing journey.

    Sonia creates a safe container to slow down, go inward, and trust in your body's wisdom. Working with her has shifted my process from knowing to embodying, and has allowed for my healing to occur at the pace my body needs. Sonia has brought humor and joy to our sessions as she's guided me through pain and grief, and her energy has been such a grounding force.

    I reached out to Sonia after losing my mother. I was dealing with complex grief and needed a space where my grief could be held and worked through in a holistic way. Working with Sonia, I learned to integrate my mind, body and spirit in a way that I had not learned before due to my own social conditioning. Sonia held space in such a caring way that allowed me to explore emotions that I had been avoiding. I am so grateful for the time I was able to work with Sonia. It’s so hard for me to explain my work with Sonia but I can say that we laughed, we cried, we felt deeply and all along I felt safe and held.

    Sonia is an incredible healer, I’m so happy I found her. Sonia’s approach is very trauma informed, she creates so much safety in her sessions, and sessions go beyond the surface or conscious level content. It’s my first time receiving such deep somatic guidance and since working with her, I’ve been able to process traumas and have been able to process and release energy that has been stored in my mind/body/soul. Sonia is a powerful healer and I’m so honored to have her on my self care team!

    I began my journey with Sonia in January 2021 and can say with the utmost confidence, zero hesitation, and pure admiration that she has been the catalyst for so much of the good to come from my mental and physical healing. It wasn’t until I met Sonia that I actually felt heard, supported, and empowered to even continue my healing outside of our sessions. I had never once done somatic body and nervous system check ins, but her guidance through them has allowed me to unpack the layers of trauma and pieces of me that I’ve suppressed in my body and soul. And somewhere along the way, I finally started to feel again. Sonia’s soulful connection to not only her deep rooted ancestral knowledge but her mastery of holistic practices are genuinely felt and appreciated beyond measure.

    Working with Sonia has been one of the greatest, most powerful gifts I’ve given myself while on this healing journey. We started having sessions during a very difficult time in my life, I was simultaneously hitting a kind of rock bottom and also going through growing pains of my own evolution. Sonia’s guidance and her capacity to allow myself to listen to my body and my own inner wisdom was like having the most loving energy gently walk me through letting go of my cocoon. The sessions we shared also greatly influenced my professional and creative endeavors, inspiring me to translate my metamorphosis through art and music, and truly launching me forward into my next big life chapter. Before starting with Sonia, I couldn’t have imagined how much I’d heal and grow. I’m forever thankful and I look forward to all of her offerings.
