Outwardly, you’re functioning.
You show up.
You get things done.
Others are amazed by all you do.
But inside, something hurts.
Maybe it's a dull ache.
You feel sick before important events.
Or panic, an emptiness, or the kind of tired that sleep doesn’t fix.

If you're like a lot of my clients, you ask, “What’s wrong with me?”
But that’s not the right question. The right question is: What inside is needing your forgiveness? Your love? Because your amazing body is doing exactly what it learned to do to survive. The overthinking. The shutdown. The clench in your belly. The way you go numb. In the shallow breath. In the way your jaw tightens every time you want to speak up. In the part of you that flinches at kindness. These are wise strategies, not flaws. But they need your attention, because they are impacting your life and relationships negatively. |
Client Review
"The biggest impact studying with Pavini has had on me is giving me hope and trust in daily aliveness practices. I have more vocabulary now for all sorts of things I have never dug into before, and I also have greater resilience and capacity in being with and experiencing those things without it needing to be re-traumatizing or causing endless thought cyclones. I have more power now to return to my body, listen to it, and trust its ability to process and move through things with vulnerability and grace."
Coming back to the body
Natalie, Oakland CA
You can’t outthink what your body learned in the dark.
Without tending to your body, the cycle repeats.
And the cost keeps rising: exhaustion, disconnection, shame.
Ending relationships. Ending jobs. Feeling alone.
But it doesn't have to be this way.

Why you still feel stuck (even after all the work)
Because your pain doesn’t live in your mind.
It lives in your body.
No amount of insight can undo what your nervous system has learned to brace for.
You cannot talk yourself out of your triggers.

Which is why I work somatically
I’m Dr. Pavini Moray (they/them)
I’ve spent the last 15 years helping people like you rebuild trust with their bodies, navigate trauma, and reclaim their lives.
I hold a PhD in Somatic Psychology and have lived this work from the inside out.
I know what it means to feel lost. I know the strength it takes to return to yourself.
And I know it’s possible.
In 15 years of this work, I've watched people who had given up on themselves find their way back. That's what I'm here for.
If something in you is ready, let's talk. A free call is enough to know if this is the right fit.

Confidential. Trauma-informed. No bullshit.
But what is somatic coaching?
Somatic coaching is a deep, respectful conversation with your body and the part of you that remembers everything, even what your mind forgot.
In our sessions, we don’t analyze. We practice.
You’ll start to notice. Pause. Breathe. Respond instead of react.
You’ll try on new ways of being. Some will feel awkward. Some will feel like finally exhaling.

In our sessions we don't analyze what happened to you, we work with what's happening in you right now.
You'll start to notice things you've been moving too fast to feel.
And slowly, with support, you'll find you can respond to yourself differently.
You begin to respond with care instead of judgment.
You practice new things, aligned with who you want to be.
And slowly, you’ll start to come back to yourself.

I work directly with sexuality and relationship challenges.
This includes erotic challenges, and the places where intimacy has become painful, confusing, or shut down entirely.
As a queer, trans, ENM practitioner, you will never have to wonder whether it's okay to bring something up, or pause to explain your identities, your relationship structure, or your desires. All of it is welcome here.

"I didn't realize how far I'd drifted from myself until I started doing somatic coaching with Pavini. I had been living in survival mode for so long, I thought that was just who I was. Now I feel calm in my body. I trust myself again. I'm not afraid to be seen."
Amanda Lynn, Portland, OR

"Before working with Pavini, I felt hopeless and defeated. Now, I feel home in my body, finally feel safe in a vulnerable intimate sexual connection with my partner, and free for the first time."
