Embodiment, Intuitive Healing & Transformation
The core vision of Romi Cumes Somatic Therapy, P.C. is to offer a holistic approach to mental health, somatic therapy, intuitive healing, and embodiment in Santa Barbara and online. With that intention, I support individuals in connecting with the lived experience of the body while exploring how it serves as a gateway to mind-body integration and transformation. I empower my clients to identify, explore, and ultimately shift stuck patterns, guiding them toward greater balance and trauma-informed resilience.
A Holistic Approach to Mental Health & Healing
Somatic psychotherapy can be a powerful vehicle for self-awareness and meaningful healing. With over twenty-five years of experience spanning psychology, bodywork, intuitive healing, yoga, and somatic therapy in Santa Barbara and beyond, I offer a unique and integrative approach.
Both in therapy and life, we sometimes need to challenge our edges to grow. My style is guided by empathy and intuitive curiosity, while remaining clinically direct, trauma-informed, and rooted in the here and now. Although I’m a clinical psychotherapist, I’m also an intuitive healer who supports clients in sensing and processing both somatic and subtle energies. My approach extends beyond traditional talk therapy, opening a deeper, body-centered pathway toward intuitive healing and self-discovery.
So—welcome to a space that honors your journey. Whether you’re seeking recalibration, transformation, or a new way forward, I honor the courage it takes to embark on this path.
