Somatic Storytelling

The body remembers everything that the mind forgets. Every tension, pause, or ache carries a story — a moment of survival, a memory of love, or an imprint of what was left unsaid.

Dr. Ruby Gibson, founder of Somatic Archaeology ©, teaches that healing begins when we learn to listen to those stories with compassion and curiosity rather than fear or analysis.

Somatic Archaeology is both a philosophy and a practice. It invites us to explore the layers of our lived experience — not to relive trauma, but to re-establish connection with the wisdom stored in the body. This process mirrors the work of an archaeologist, gently uncovering an ancient site. Each movement, sensation, and emotion is treated as a sacred artifact — part of a larger story about resilience, belonging, and renewal.

In Indigenous worldviews, the body is not separate from the land. When we listen to our body, we are also listening to the Earth. The heartbeat mirrors the drum, the breath mirrors the wind, and our movements carry ancestral rhythm.

Sessions may include breathwork, sound work, working with plant and stone relatives, somatic exploration, moving energy, grounding and centering techniques, and ancestral connection. Join Kimber for a 60-minute introductory session in Somatic Storytelling to learn or re-learn to trust your intuition and body.
