Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery®
“Oh my God, Alison! I just got booked for a movie shoot! I am so thankful and grateful for you, your work, and the opportunity you are giving my subconscious to work its magic! That was an amazing session and I am looking forward to the next one.” -Lori L.
Hidden energies in your system will keep sending out their distress signals until you go get them where they are. This can present itself as physical pain, anxiety, depression, repeating unwanted patterns/habits, and not being able to manifest your biggest desires. With Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery ® (SMGI®) it’s easy to release these energies if no longer serving you, or bring them to safety, if they’re needed to move forward. Until you do this, you’ll continue to be blessed by these signals/symptoms that are letting you know what needs your attention.
I used to wonder if I’d ever truly be able to live my life with ease, without painful memories replaying in my mind all day or my body tensing up with anxiety for one reason or another. Plagued with sleep issues that were very disruptive, there came a point where I thought, “maybe I just have to learn to live with this. Maybe I’ll never get over it and this is really as good as it gets”. I had tried what seemed like every possible healing modality- conventional psychotherapy, EMDR, neurofeedback, reiki, and many other things. Don’t get me wrong- these things did help me in different ways. They helped me gain insight. The charge lessened a bit. But the pain of my past still stung… until I found this amazing healing modality that finally pulled my issues out by the root, instead of just mowing over the weeds.
If you’re drawn to somatic work, you’re likely seeking a more holistic form of healing. One that honors the relationship between the mind and body and works to ease both physical and mental symptoms by addressing their deeper emotional or psychological roots.
What is SMGI®
SMGI® is a unique kind of parts-work hypnotherapy and inner-journey work that uses the power of your subconscious to change what you want to change. The subconscious mind is responsible for about 95% of what we do and are!
About the SMGI® Process
The SMGI® process makes it easy and enjoyable to get clear, connected and free. Free of the signals creating the same behaviors, situations, and uncomfortable feelings, so you can just be your authentic self. Through a gentle, non-invasive process, SMGI® helps you rescue and disburden traumatized parts of yourself and release false identities and limiting beliefs without having to re-experience traumatic situations.
The first session is comprised of reviewing a subconscious priming questionnaire, to set your intention for sessions. Each session is tailored to you and your specific desires. Subsequent sessions will consist of a check-in, and you will then be guided inwards using a combination of hypnosis, bodywork, guided imagery, and meditation. Sessions can include: meeting and integrating fragmented parts of yourself (both past life and present life; in Shamanism, this is referred to as “soul retrieval”), clearing energetic clutter that is no longer serving you, cord cutting, etheric plane communication, connecting with valuable allies within your subconscious who will support you with getting what you want, getting the opportunity to go into your subconscious and “rewrite” events the way you would have preferred for them to happen (and thus changing future timelines!), and more. There are many more possibilities; these are just some examples of what can happen.
Your ability to heal and create is far greater than has been recognized. So many of us have been there, tried that, and it's all been a great part of what’s made us ready to go deeper! None of it has been a waste. It has all informed and inspired your desire to go within.
Both new signals (symptoms) and longstanding, can shift easily with this wonderful protocol.
FAQ
-
SMGI® is an innovative somatic therapy that uses light hypnosis, meditation, and guided imagery to connect you directly to your subconscious mind and inner wisdom. It helps release stuck energy, trauma, and inner blocks so you can heal, feel calm, and accomplish your dreams. Unlike traditional talk therapy, SMGI® works with your body's natural healing intelligence through somatic (body-based) awareness and interactive inner journeying.
-
Your mind, body, and spirit already know how to heal. SMGI® guides you into a state where your subconscious reveals the root causes of unwanted symptoms, pain, anxiety, or blocks. Through somatic awareness and guided imagery, we access your inner resources to resolve these at the source, creating lasting freedom from overwhelming emotions and behaviors. It's collaborative- you're always in control, partnering with your own inner wisdom.
-
Traditional hypnotherapy often uses direct suggestion. SMGI® is interactive- you lead the journey while I guide the process. It combines somatic experiencing (body awareness), mindfulness meditation, and guided imagery to work directly with your energy body and subconscious, resolving trauma and blocks more gently and completely. Clients often describe it as "direct conversation with my wiser self."
-

Chronic pain and physical symptoms
Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm

-
No special skills required. SMGI® works with whatever imagery, sensations, emotions, or knowing naturally arises. Some people see clear pictures, others feel sensations or just "know" information. Your subconscious communicates in whatever way works best for you.
-
Absolutely not. You'll be fully aware and in control. You can stop or redirect the process anytime. Most clients say it feels like a pleasant, guided daydream where they maintain full awareness while accessing deeper wisdom.
-
Many clients experience profound shifts in 1-3 sessions, though some prefer packages of 6 for deeper work. Each session builds on the last, resolving root causes layer by layer. We create a custom plan based on your goals and progress.
-
The first session is unique as we will spend time reviewing a subconscious priming questionnaire, to set the intention for sessions and clarify your goals. If there is time remaining, we will do a shorter guided inner journey.
Subsequent sessions will look like:
1. Brief check-in (15-30 min): Discuss your current state and intentions2. Guided relaxation (10 min): Enter a light trance state comfortably.
3. Interactive journey (45-60 min): Access subconscious wisdom through somatic awareness and imagery
4. Integration (10-15 min): Anchor insights and create actionable steps
Total time: 75-120 minutes via Zoom or in-person
Sessions can be recorded so you can revisit the experience.
