Hi, I’m
Eric
I’m a somatic practitioner; I help people to feel their feelings.
​
I’m also someone who really loves being alive.
​
I love dancing, losing myself in music, a good cortado, walking my dog Ratatouille, getting sweaty, cooking for people and laughing loudly.
​
I’m energetic and intense. I’m also soft and tender. I swear. I hug. I’m full of beautiful contradictions.
​
And I care deeply about people.
​I have to be honest: it took me a long time to feel this alive....
I SPENT A LOT OF MY LIFE TRYING NOT TO FEEL.
For years, I numbed life with drugs, alcohol and isolation. I played small. I said yes when I wanted to say no. I stayed when I wanted to leave.
​
I followed the rules and learned to quiet the impulses that said otherwise.
​
From the outside, not all of that looked like numbing.
Sometimes it even looked like success.
But it was.
I was disconnecting from what I knew to be true in my body. disconnected from myself .
​
When I finally allowed myself to feel , something in me began to understand that feeling what was true wasn't dangerous.
​
I could feel anger without hurting someone. I could feel fear without letting it make every decision. Grief without drowning in it.
I learned I could survive feeling.
​
And that made room for curiosity.
​
After cardiac arrest in 2025, my appreciation for being alive became even more physical and a decide I did not want to protect myself from the experience of being alive anymore.​​​​​​​​
SOMEONE ALIVE IS A BEAUTIFUL THING TO WITNESS.
I think that's probably why I love this work so much.
​
I love being moved by people.
By what happens when someone begins to allow themselves to feel, sometimes for the first time in a long time.
Because I KNOW THIS PLACE.
It might be anger finally finding its place.
A big yes.
A "no" that someone has never dared to say before.
​
And it can also be something quiet.
​
Someone allowing themselves to cry, to laugh, and stay with what they're feeling.
​
I find all these ways of being alive beautiful.
​
​​
I HAVEN’T FIGURED THIS OUT.
I still play small.
​
I still avoid feelings. The difference is that I'm getting better at noticing when I do it.And noticing gives me a little more choice.
​
I don't always make the brave choice.
I don't think that's the point.
​
I'm becoming more willing to feel what being myself asks me to feel.
And I don't expect anything different from you.
​
You don't have to change.
​
You can discover something about yourself and decide to do absolutely nothing about it. You can recognize what you want and decide you're not ready to pursue it.
​
Feeling doesn't create an obligation to become someone else.
We can start by getting curious about what's already here
​
MY PRACTICE
My practice is a blend of the tools and approaches I've studied over the years, but also everything I've learned through the unofficial curriculum of life.
​
My search for meaning. My spiritual exploration. My queerness. The years I spent numbing myself to life, and the journey back.
​
All of it has shaped me and deepened my capacity to hold space for others with an understanding that comes from lived experience.
​
I work with people individually and facilitate group experiences, including ENSEMBLE, my circle-workshop for gay and queer men.
