Hi, I’m Lea Moon. I use they/them pronouns. I’m a certified non-clinical Somatic Attachment Therapist, Grief Care Provider, and Soul Companion.
With a somatic and trauma informed approach, based in attachment science, interpersonal neurobiology, and polyvagal theory, we’ll work toward building relationships with sources of support, internally and externally, human and more-than-human that can companion you, and, when your ready, ferry you from one shore to the next.
I help people develop personal and interpersonal practices, rituals, and relational capacities to generatively navigate the harrowing terrains of soul maturation; change, loss, death, trauma, illness, disability, non-ordinary reality, and ecological and cultural uncertainty.
Where others turn away, I hold a space for leaning in.

Let’s be in this together
Soma is a Greek word meaning body. Somatic is an umbrella term used in the healing and movement arts professions to signify that their practice focuses on the body.
A somatic practice or what some call Embodied Mindfulness, is an ongoing invitation that supports you bringing awareness toward your felt-sense and away from unconscious animation so you have greater access to agency, aliveness, and embodied connection.
Depending on your comfort and preference a somatic practice can include sensing, visualization, movement, breath, sound, touch, containment, resourcing, and pausing. If being embodied internally is too activating or not accessible, we can work with environment sensing or boundary (energetic & physical) sensing. You get to choose and experiment with what works best for you!
Through an attachment lens and somatic resourcing lets develop a practice of self-compassion and interconnectedness that has the capacity to hold you through these times. We’ll identify resources and relations; ancestral, more-than-human, imaginal, and somatic where you can deepen relationally and resource within.
We all need to be held, now more than ever.

In Somatic Soul Companion sessions I am uplifting your mind body awareness through sensing (somatic practices) your relationship within and between everything with the aim of grounding in your Seat of Self and forming secure bonds with others, human and more-than-human so you have what you need to traverse your soul territory.
- Mind – (self-soul-spirit complex)
- Body – (sensing, felt-sense, emotions, embodiment)
- Awareness – (noticing, “being with”, and caring for and responding to with empathy, kindness, and compassion)
- Relationship – (internal and external, form and formless, human and more-than-human)

There are times in everyones life when our known reality or way of being is taken from us by circumstances beyond our control. Mythically this is called the underworld journey (hero/heroines journey.) It can manifest in peoples lives as illness, loss, betrayal, death, rites-of-passage, non-ordinary experiences, trauma and more. S
Some people intentionally court mystical experiences through the use of psychedelics, deprivation practices, meditation, trance states, breath-work, and more. These soulful journeys can end up being be harrowing or challenging to integrate.
Regardless of how it is arising, it can be destabilizing, lonely, and hard to integrate meaningfully into day-to-day life.
As a person who a traversed many underworld journeys and companioned many through their own, I hold embodied wisdom and deep trust in this process. I am extensively trained in ritual facilitation, meditation & mindfulness practices, dream tending, soul tending, grief tending, and mythology. I am deeply respectful of your journey because I know your soul has called you to service and it’s something only you can reckon with, but you don’t have to do it alone. I welcome your darkness, your struggle, and your grief.
