I am an Adjunct Faculty at Onsite Workshops, and a Somatic Practitioner at Ha.Le. Integrative Health working with clients in somatic experiencing, body mapping, attunement, and other practices that combine movement, art, and healing. I find this work deeply meaningful and often profoundly healing. For clients looking for intensive residential programs I recommend Onsite, and for clients looking for comprehensive, integrative health with a team of practitions of diverse specialities, I recommend Ha.Le.
Independently, as a member of The Healing Society of Nashville , a co-working space for healers located in East Nashville, I offer sessions with a unique blend of somatic and Reiki energy work, focusing on deepening body awareness, centering, releasing grief or anxiety, deeply grounding, creating healthy boundaries, and promoting energetic clarity. My background in somatic and healing work comes from various teachers and programs, including training in SomEx Module 1 with the Experiential Healing Center in Memphis, TN, Reiki Level 1, 2 and 3 with Jenna Longmire, Total Body Integration through Bartenieff Fundamentals with Janice Meaden, The Somatic Practitioners Trauma Healing Intensive with Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Frank Anderson, and others, Authentic Movement with Arunima Orr and Deanie French, and Sounding through Art & Soul Studio as well as a lifetime spent “in my body” as a dancer. I work in the Greater Nashville area.

Multi-session testimonials:
Amanda Cantrell Roche And her sessions have been such a valuable presence in my life. Her poems, meditations, and Reiki sessions have been an important source of healing for my soul and my recovery.
I highly recommend her for anyone who is working through challenges, seeking healing, and spiritual or artistic guidance. — James Kyson
One-session testimonials:
“Amanda is such a powerful healer, her inner work reflects externally and you feel calm around her. Her creative approach to healing is profound at the same time fun. I had a session with her when the snake year ended and we entered the fire horse year, Amanda was so present and gave me space to share what I needed to share and gave me feedback when I asked for it. It was really helpful, uplifting and eye opening at the same time. I learned a lot and felt lighter after. I highly recommend you go see Amanda
— KA
“This is my first experience with somatic therapy and Reiki. I did not know what to expect but Amanda settled me right in. By the end of the session somehow I had a more positive outlook and felt alot better. I don’t know what that means exactly but it was good. I left with optimism for the first time in a long time.” — Brian Law

One-session testimonial:
“I was blessed to receive this work recently with Amanda and I can highly recommend it and her to you. We non-dancers can get way out of touch with our bodies and this work reconnects us and also has a calming and centering effect on the brain.” — LJ Ratliff, LCSW
Multi-session testimonial:
“Amanda is a truly gifted and sensitive person whom I sought for help to connect with my body and learn how to ‘be in my skin.’ She proved herself to be a gentle, informative guide who deepened my understanding of the mind/body connection, helped me to be ‘friends’ with my body, and taught me exercises that will help me transition from an antagonistic relationship with my body to a friendship with it. Amanda created a safe space for me to explore body movement without feeling judged. Our work together has been a treasured, invaluable component of my own healing, physical and emotional. I have been so blessed by the crossing of our paths!” — Gwen
