Lee Robin LMBT BCST SEP
Somatic Bodyworker & Coach
the art of somatic transformation begins with an invitation for the body to engage in its own wisdom – when we arrive, notice, and feel what we are in relationship to we have the potential to transform it
Hi! I’m Lee (ze/zir)
I provide trauma-informed Somatic Therapy and Bodywork centered on neurodivergent queer trans and nonbinary folks & those who live on the margins

offerings
Somatic Experiencing
Somatic therapy is a container that can hold the most tender of experiences. So often we exist in the extremes of survival and get stuck in those instincts and feel blocked to recover.
In sessions we can work collaboratively to expand the edges of capacity and bring in support to integrate our experiences.
You will learn to interpret the signals of your body and explore how they ebb and flow through experiential practice. We might engage the senses and bring in body awareness through movement, imagination, and noticing.
Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapy
Somatic Bodywork is a way of deepening the work through presence and touch. When we support the body to engage it’s own self-healing mechanism, a felt sense of transformation takes place.
Through a series of light-touch holds, the body enters into a space of its own design. It finds it’s rhythm and begins to reset and get into sync. In this space many experiences are possible from restful to meditative to otherworldly.

“Lee set conditions of slowness, awareness, and consent”
My session with Lee was transformative in helping me become aware of the ways my body has learned to tense up in protection from various traumas. Lee set conditions of slowness, awareness, and consent to retrain some of these responses and guide my body into softening – we began with talk, moved into very light touch, and progressed into some cranial. As a chronically ill trans person, feeling this kind of safety and healing feels both rare and deeply necessary. I look forward to continuing to work with Lee in future visits to Asheville and highly recommend Resilient Roots Bodywork.

“I felt trust in Lee as a practitioner and also safe in the environment “
I’m writing this the morning after my session with Lee, and in many ways, I feel like a new person. I feel more space in my body, more flexibility internally and a strengthened line/flow of my natural energy system. My treatment was indeed therapeutic and I appreciated being able to talk through current struggles before getting on the table. Lee was compassionate in listening and learning what’s been going on and then explained a bit about the method ze would use in my massage. Because I’m such a COVID nerd, I would be remiss not to mention how safe I felt. Lee had every possible safety protocol in place, protecting us both to zir best ability and this created the most therapeutic potential for healing. I felt trust in Lee as a practitioner and also safe in the environment ze created around me. With both of these elements in play, I had such a positive and enlivening experience, I can’t wait to come back for another treatment! Thank you, Lee!

work with me
1:1 sessions provide the kind of container that will give time and support for the deeper work to unfold. This is relational work so it is important that we are a good fit for each other and you feel safe to be supported in your process. Through collaboration we will customize sessions to meet you where you are at and find a pacing that works for you. I deeply respect all you have had to do to survive living in a body up until now, and honor your instincts to unwind and reset your system to better resonate with your present and future self.
If you are ready, take the first step and sign up for a Discovery Call. On the call I can answer any questions you might have and tell you more about what you might expect from our work together and give you all of the information you need to decide if this is right for you.
I work with folks Virtually Worldwide or In-Person in Ashevile, North Carolina.
