Chico Body-Wise is transforming, and we remain open during the transition
From Roots to Renewal: The Birth of SomaRoot
SomaRoot grows from deep and trusted soil.
From Chico Body-Wise we learned this truth: the body remains wise — even through change, grief, and transformation.
From Radical Healing Arts we carry the fire of liberation, creativity, and community care.
SomaRoot is blossoming
It is the moment when the seed cracks open, not because it is broken, but because it is ready.
Here, the wisdom of the body is honored as teacher, storyteller, and guide.
We remain devoted to the knowing that lives beneath thought — in the breath, the pulse, the muscle’s memory, the heart’s rhythm.
We honor this wisdom in every session, every class, every shared circle.
In this transition, nothing essential is lost.
The body remembers.
The body remains wise.
