in Asheville, NC and beyond
Welcome! I’m Gillian Hailey,
Integrative Somatic Therapy Practitioner, Coach, Facilitator, and Yoga Instructor based in Asheville, NC.
My body of work is rooted in understanding and harnessing the generative nature of human biology, psychology, physiology, and sociology to help you restore and reclaim your vitality through deep healing and lasting change.
I work with individuals, couples, leaders, and teams/organizations to tend to and transform the root causes and impacts of stress and burnout, embody their strengths and values, expand their capacity to move through the inevitable changes and challenges of life, and create meaningful change and impact - as people, parents, partners, and professionals.
If you’re ready to explore a new way forward into this next season of life – or even if you’re just curious – I’d love to connect with you. I offer a free 20 minute consultation to help you get a feel for whether this work is a good fit for you. I am currently welcoming new clients both online and in person in Asheville.
you deserve the time, space, and support you uniquely need to heal, grow, and thrive through each season of life

What types of services do you offer?
I specialize in integrative somatic therapies and holistic wellness - both which are rooted in the understanding of the mindbody connection.
How is a somatic approach different from other therapeutic approaches or modalities?
Somatic approaches modalities are centered around incorporating and integrative mind (psychology), body (physiology), and being (core self or soul).
Soma translates to the living body in it’s wholeness. A somatic approach goes deeper than our intellectual and cognitive understanding of our symptoms or experiences to uncover the deeper insights and information held within our physical sensations, memories, values, and emotions.
Beneath and beyond our thoughts and words sounds, muscle tone, tone of voice, facial expressions, emotions, sensations, gestures, and movement of body and breath are forms of expression or experience in the body that are often ignored, overlooked, manipulated, or misunderstood.
Intentionally incorporating our somatic experience into our growth and healing process allows us to go deeper to access and work with the deeper root causes and dynamics of our struggles, stressors, values, emotions, desires, needs, challenges, symptoms, and relationships.
-
I work with individuals and couples who have previously engaged in talk therapy yet feel they are stuck or struggling to experience deep or lasting change. They are motivated to get to the root cause and work to create meaningful change in their lives.
They often identify as being highly accomplished and/or ambitious, yet are deeply sensitive, often feel like they don’t quite fit in or belong, and are holding it all together while secretly or silently struggling or just getting by.

In-Person
In-person sessions offer dedicated space outside of your home without distractions. My office is located in the heart of downtown Asheville at 12 1/2 Wall Street.
Online sessions
Somatic work is very effective and approachable online. Online sessions offer flexibility, accessibility for those who live outside of Asheville, NC, and the comfort of engaging in our work together in your own space.
-
Frequency and duration of sessions will depend your individual needs and goals.
Research finds greater outcomes with a higher frequency of sessions during the first 90 days.
I recommend committing to weekly or biweekly sessions for 3 months.
How long we work together will depend on your goals and what you want to accomplish in our work together.
We work collaboratively to curate the desired and most effective level of support for you.
