MY Story

Alyssa Montana - The SOMATIC PSYCHIC

clairsentient psychic + untraditional yoga teacher + akashic bodyworker

I didn’t always call myself a psychic.

For many years, I identified as a yoga teacher, a bodyworker, and a wilderness guide. I opened studios, led retreats, and helped people release physical and emotional pain. Yet underneath all of that, something deeper was always present. I could feel people — not just their tension, but their grief, their memories, and their patterns. When I placed my hands on a body, I would hear words, see images, and know things I hadn’t been told. At the time, I didn’t have a name for this ability.

Like many sensitive women, I responded by working harder. I gave too much. I bypassed my own body, even while supporting others in reconnecting with theirs. Eventually, everything changed. My life both literally and symbolically shattered in the mountains of Idaho. A traumatic pregnancy loss brought me to my knees — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. That experience unraveled everything I thought I knew about healing. It revealed just how fragile the connection between body and soul can become when we do not feel safe within our own systems.

During that period, I began receiving visions. I felt ancient grief move through me. I encountered the presence of Mary Magdalene, angelic beings, and a deeper voice within that gently whispered, “Come home to your body. This is where the truth lives.” From that moment forward, my work began to shift. And so did I.

I started to study the nervous system through a spiritual lens. I committed to teaching myself — and others — how to remain present in the body rather than escape it. I realized my psychic gifts were not separate from my somatic wisdom. In fact, they were deeply connected and powered by it.

That is how The Somatic Psychic was born.

Today, my work integrates science and spirit. I offer a trauma-informed, body-led approach to energy healing and intuitive awakening. My clients come to me seeking deep release, clarity, and remembrance.

During our sessions, it is common for people to experience shaking, crying, visions, or spontaneous emotional release — not because we are doing too much, but because the body finally feels safe enough to let go.

I am not here to save anyone. I am here to help you remember how to hold yourself in safety.

This work is sacred, rebellious, embodied, and evolutionary.

If you are reading this, your soul may already be saying yes.
Together, we begin the descent — and the rise.

You are not here to be fixed.

Welcome to a Journey of Transformation

I help humans transform pain into power by guiding them to access their own Akashic Records. The Akashic Records are an energetic library of every soul’s journey—past, present, and potential future. Through Akashic Healing, I facilitate a space where you can connect with this divine wisdom and access insights that support your healing journey. I don’t do the healing myself; rather, I have the gift of helping you unlock your own inner wisdom and healing potential.

How Does It Work?

My approach begins with restorative yoga, helping you first feel safe and grounded in your body. From there, we explore patterns of tension, resistance, and density through somatic movement and bodywork. Think of it like this: the root of any issue is in the body. As we unravel physical layers, we spiral outward through the mental and emotional realms, all the way to the spiritual level, which is where the Akashic Records reside.

In this process, the logical mind gets to take a back seat, especially when it comes to trauma healing. You don’t have to analyze or logically process the trauma for it to release. Instead, by being present, breathing, and allowing your body to readjust, you let it find its own balance. Your symptoms are simply your body’s way of communicating that something needs attention, and once you learn to listen and understand this language, true healing begins.

WHO DO I SERVE?

I serve humans who are ready for deep transformation.
My clients are individuals who have often tried many other healing modalities, yet find themselves still searching for relief. They come to me when they’re truly ready to dive deep, let go of old patterns, and take accountability for their healing journey. If you’re ready to move beyond the surface and transform the shadows that hold you back, then you’re in the right place. My work is about going deep and emerging empowered, ready to step into your fullest power.
