welcome home somatics
cultivating dignity and belonging, rooted in resilience and community
Welcome!
I’m Regan Brashear (they/she), and this is the online home for my embodied transformation practice (aka somatic coaching).
Through one-on-one and group work, I support people in coming “home” —
home to the body, home to presence, home to a felt sense of aliveness, belonging, dignity, increasing access to our individual and collective power.
I bring to this work my background as a filmmaker, union organizer, and a white person committed to dismantling white supremacy and creating conditions for collective liberation.
As someone who identifies as queer, genderfluid/nonbinary, disabled/chronically ill/neurospicy, and fat/larger-bodied, I’m especially passionate about supporting people in these communities — as well as other creatives, filmmakers, educators, activists, and organizers doing the long-term work of justice and transformation.
If you long to feel at ease in your skin…
If you crave a world where everyone has what they need to thrive…
If you are building towards that world in your own way…
If you’re curious what somatics might open up for you…
You’re in the right place.
If you’d like to explore whether somatic coaching or one of my groups would be a good fit, let’s talk.
Why turn toward somatics when the world feels like it’s unraveling?
These practices help us remember our humanity when everything around us pulls us away from it. The Strozzi / generative somatics lineage offers us “somatic survival skills,” because they help us meet these perilous times and take action with presence, clarity, connection, vision and deep resilience.
What Is Somatics?
Somatics works with the body’s wisdom—our sensations, emotions, internal stories, and relational habits—to help you live with more purpose, presence, and power. Somatics offer a roadmap back home to an embodied sense of self, integrating body/mind/spirit.
Have you ever experienced a moment of insight—only to feel it slip away hours or days later? Sustainable transformation can’t come from thought alone.
At Welcome Home Somatics, I blend nervous system awareness, body-based practice, anti-oppressive values, and trauma-informed somatic coaching support to help you:
- Deepen in your felt sense of embodied dignity, belonging, and resilience
- Clarify your values and the vision you want to live into
- Transform old patterns that hold you back
- Build embodied capacity for courage, clarity, presence, and connection
- Create sustainable change — not just temporary insight
- Lead, love, live, create, and organize from a grounded, powerful center
This is practical, relational, emergent body-based work.

“Regan’s approach to Somatics has shown me how important the mind-body connection is when trying to heal from unresolved traumas.

“Regan created a brave and loving space for our vulnerability that allowed us to explore edges and listen deeply to ourselves and each other, making our group more bonded and aligned.

Welcome Home Somatics Community
Why community spaces matter
We live in a culture shaped by white supremacy and late-stage racial capitalism that relentlessly promotes individualism—the idea that we should be able to “pull ourselves up by our bootstraps.” This mindset fuels isolation, inequality, and a deep sense of disconnection from our bodies, one another, and the earth.
As humans—pack animals that we are—authentic connection is not a luxury. Being seen, held, and supported in community is one of the essential survival skills for cultivating real resilience and well-being.
Welcome Home Somatics is rooted in the belief that healing and transformation happen most sustainably in relationship. Alongside individual coaching, I offer somatics-based group spaces where we can learn, practice, and grow together—supported by shared intention, collective care, and a commitment to justice.
