Somato-Respiratory Integration Series at IVY Energetic Studio

This recurring Somato-Respiratory Integration (SRI) series let by Dr. Kate Glebocki is designed to guide you through the full spectrum of the 12 Stages of Healing, a powerful map created by Dr. Donald Epstein to support the natural rhythms of growth, release, and integration.

Each session builds upon the last—yet stands alone as a meaningful experience. Whether you're processing emotional residue, shifting lifelong patterns, or cultivating deeper embodiment, these evenings are here to support your journey.

We’ll use breath, gentle touch, focused awareness, and intentional rest to meet the energies of each stage—ranging from stuckness and confusion to awakening, compassion, and inner coherence. These are practices you’ll not only experience in the room, but learn to carry into your daily life.

Expect deep support, clear guidance, and the space to feel what’s ready to be felt. Here are the stageswe will cys=cle through:
