Everyday Epigenetics: Raw. Real. Relatable.
104. Mini Podcast - Somatic Nature Therapy in Real Time (Part 2 with Katie Asmus)
This mini episode is exactly what Everyday Epigenetics promises: raw, real, and relatable, literally recorded out in nature, wind, trail noise, construction sounds and all.
After my conversation with Katie Asmus from the Somatic Nature Therapy Institute, I decided to stop talking about somatic nature therapy… and actually experience it. So I headed to Boulder, Colorado, met two incredible therapists-in-training, and stepped onto the trail with no plan, no expectations, and zero control.
What followed was one of the most unexpected, grounding, emotional, and regulating experiences I’ve had in a long time.
This episode captures:
- the beginning of the session in real time
- conversations on the trail about intention, surrender, and presence
- moments of disruption (because… nature + life happen)
- and my honest reflection afterward on what shifted in my body, mind, and spirit
No edits. No polish. Just lived experience.
In this mini episode:
- What somatic nature therapy actually feels like, not just how it’s described
- Why letting go of control can create profound nervous system regulation
- How sensory awareness opened emotional and physical release
- What surprised me most after the session (including deep exhaustion + incredible sleep)
- How this experience changed the way I’ll approach time in nature moving forward
If you’re curious about somatic work, nervous system regulation, or what happens when you stop “doing” and allow yourself to simply be, this episode is for you.
And yes… there are interruptions, wind gusts, trail sounds, and imperfect audio. Because healing doesn’t happen in a studio, it happens in real life.
