Stephan Takaya, Somatic Body Worker
Based in the Seattle/Puget Sound area, I am an autistic individual learning to connect the social dots of society and sharing my experiences with others. Learning how bodies interact with itself and others is becoming my life’s work. Understanding how the body’s sense receptors connect to our chemical producing centers and how that makes us feel. I believe this is an integral part of mindfulness and understanding whom we are as complex beings. As a veteran, polyamorous, queer, neuro-divergent, kinky, BIPOC I bring a vast experience to share and hopefully assist you in finding what you’re seeking!
