somatic healing & transformation, rooted in a vision of liberation & care for all

with Clare Olivares, MA

reclaim the aliveness that is your birthright

uproot conditioned patterns at the level of the tissues

practice towards new possibilities

Welcome dear ones!

I’m Clare (they/them), and I am the practitioner behind sea roots somatics.

The offerings you will find here have emerged from a combination of formal study in Psychology, lived experience, and ongoing mentorship within lineages of politicized somatics.

Whether you’re looking for support around a specific challenge or transition, or seeking ongoing support in a neurodivergent, queer & trans-affirming container, my practice offers a soft, compassionate space to land. Together, we will partner to deepen your relationship with the wisdom of your body, breathe life into your longings & vision, and open up new possibilities for connection and self-trust.

My practice is rooted in anti-oppressive, liberatory values, which means that we get to redefine healing on our own terms.

healing as resistance to myths of supremacy, individualism and brokenness

healing that celebrates your innate wholeness, dignity and creative power
