Love From Clients

  • Working with Lee helped me tap into deep layers of my body’s wisdom in a safe, supportive environment. Letting go of outer layers through movement, sound, breath, texture, color and memory, I developed an awareness of my fundamental and primal self. This experience has truly enhanced, complemented, and advanced my life’s journey.

    —Nani, Workshop Participant

  • Lee has a calm presence and immense well of patience that she shares in her classes and sessions. She provides a safe place for exploration and guides with a gentle hand and open heart. People of all experiences can learn from Lee, both from her wisdom about the human body, and from her genuine way of engaging with the world.

    —Johnny Blazes, Interdisciplinary Performance Artist

  • If you’re looking for a sensitive and attentive practitioner to facilitate an exploratory journey toward wellness, Lee Fogel is a wonderful fit. With an open and inviting presence, she utilizes her background in Somatics, as well as Reiki, to gently attune to the needs of her clients. I leave my sessions feeling empowered!

    —Rachel G, Dance Therapist

  • Working with Lee was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. Our work together has taken me through incredible transition.

    —Jess Rado, Counselor & Creative Leader

  • Like opening up a conversation I’ve wanted to have, but have been putting off for way too long, I leave our sessions feeling a sense of relief, wellbeing, and groundedness.

    —Julia Taylor, Massage Therapist and Healing Center Director

  • Before, I often found myself looking outward for guidance – now I realize just how prepared my body already is to help me navigate through the world.

    —Julie Verdone, Artist

  • Over the course of this program I have successfully become a non-profit, which was a goal of mine, and I feel empowered and supported (from within my body, surprisingly) to make more changes that I set out to make.

    —Dawn Smelser, Director of MotherHeart Hermitage

  • My practice with Lee has allowed me to begin stepping out of my caretaker role in order to be taken care of both by myself and also by the world around me. I came looking to fix myself, but session after session I was given the permission that I never give myself, to sit in silence and move with my body. To be aware of my needs.

    —Nathaniel Gonzalez, Facilitator and Trainer

  • I tapped into a deep, pre-narrative, pre-symbolic, meditative place that has been integral in relieving pain, helping me feel physically and emotionally more abundant, generous, and able to move and make decisions from a place of interest rather than compulsion. And I thought I was just coming for someone to fix my right shoulder!

    —Margaret Downey, Doula

FAQ

  • Soma is Greek for “the living body,” and somatic practices help us to connect with our living bodies from the inside out – not as something to be fixed or managed, but as creative and intelligent expressions of life, responding with wisdom to all that is inside and around us.

    By slowing down and enhancing our internal sensory awareness (through movement, sound, touch, anatomical or creative visualization, descriptive and expressive process), we begin to experience the intricacies of our evolving internal landscape - which helps us respond to what is going on inside and around us, with skillful, loving presence.

    When we get beneath the surface of our words and stories, we can discover new ways of moving, thinking and being that feel better and support our goals more fully, because they are profoundly aligned with our needs and the truth of our being.

  • Both! I see clients in my home studio in west Philadelphia as well as virtually, throughout the US and world.

  • Virtual sessions are an effective and accessible way to experience deeply supportive and transformative work with me. I have offered virtual somatic sessions and Distant Reiki treatments since long before the pandemic, and I am skilled and comfortable with facilitating embodied experience from a distance.

    Some people do distant sessions with me because they live far away from Philadelphia - others because they have health conditions or schedules that make in person work difficult - and still others prefer to integrate their time with me directly into their home spaces, or into natural outdoor settings they love!

  • Yes! I offer hands-on Reiki to many of my one-on-one clients, depending on what serves them most.

    My Reiki lineage and practice is the Usui Shiki Ryoho, or The Usui System of Natural Healing, which you can learn more about at https://reikialliance.com/
