Somatic Facilitation
for Trauma Healing, Nervous System Regulation & Spiritual Growth
Based at Vikara Center in Rosarito, Mexico|Online Sessions Available
I’m Josie Kramer, a somatic facilitator and co-founder of Vikara Center. My work combines body-based healing with contemplative practice to help people come home to themselves.
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply longing for something more, you're not alone.
For more than two decades, I’ve been devoted to the study and practice of healing, spiritual growth, and whole-person wellness. My work weaves together Transpersonal Psychology, Somatic Experiencing®, nervous system regulation, meditation, yoga, bodywork, holistic health, and psychedelic-assisted healing to support greater authenticity, resilience, and purpose.
Whether you're healing from trauma, navigating a life transition, feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, deepening your spiritual path, or seeking greater meaning and connection, I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where healing can unfold naturally and wholeness can emerge.
Whether through private sessions, community classes, or transformational retreats, it's an honor to walk alongside you as you come home to yourself and create lasting change.
Who I Help
I work with people who are ready to slow down, listen inward, and develop a deeper relationship with themselves. This work may be supportive if you are:
Healing from trauma or living with the effects of chronic stress
Experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, hypervigilance, or nervous-system dysregulation
Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next
Moving through a significant life transition or period of change
Seeking greater self-awareness, authenticity, meaning, or purpose
Deepening your spiritual or contemplative path
Exploring or integrating psychedelic experiences
Work with Me Privately
Experience one-on-one somatic sessions that support trauma healing, nervous system regulation, and spiritual growth through a body-based and transpersonal approach.
Together, we slow down and bring gentle attention to what's happening in your body, nervous system, thoughts, emotions, and inner experience.
Drawing from Somatic Experiencing®, Transpersonal Psychology, mindfulness, and body-based practices, I help you develop greater awareness of your patterns, build capacity for difficult emotions and sensations, and find new ways of responding to life. Sessions are collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to where you are.
For those seeking deeper exploration, Somatic Medicine Journeys are an extended form of 1:1 somatic work, incorporating preparation, guided inner exploration, somatic support, and integration in a carefully held setting at Vikara Center in Rosarito, Mexico.
