Portland, Oregon · 1:1 Somatic Practice
You understand what happened.
Your body hasn't caught up yet.
Seeded Somatics is a 1:1 somatic practice for people who are cognitively clear but still tense, reactive, or numb — and ready for something that actually shifts.
Founding cohort — 8 of 8 spots remaining
Who this is for
You've tried therapy. Yoga. The breathwork app. Something is still holding.
Chronic tension that won't release despite stretching, massage, or PT.
Anxiety that lives in your body, not just your mind.
The low-grade sense that you've been living someone else's life.
Identity rupture — divorce, career loss, burnout, becoming a parent.
You know what's wrong. You just can't seem to feel your way through it.
That gap — between insight and embodiment — is exactly where this work begins.
"I can name the pattern.
I just can't seem to step out of it."
The Work
This isn't stretching with feelings.
Therapy names the pattern. Massage temporarily releases it. Yoga builds awareness around it. Seeded Somatics works inside the pattern — tracking the nervous system signal underneath behavior, posture, and tension, and helping it reorganize.
Your body stores what your mind can't process. That's not metaphor. That's physiology. The fascia, the diaphragm, the jaw, the hip flexors — these are where unresolved experience lives.
The goal isn't relaxation. It's signal literacy. Learning to read what your nervous system is actually communicating — before it shows up as a decision you regret, a relationship you distance, or a body that won't let you sleep.
In Practice
Not stretching with feelings. Not posture correction. A nervous system relearning its shape.
The Offer
The Somatic Signature Intensive
6 sessions over 8 weeks. 1:1. Limited to 8 people.
Founding cohort — 8 of 8 spots left
This is not a course. Not a program with modules. It's a guided, relational arc — built around your nervous system, your history, and the specific places your body is holding what your life has asked of it.
We begin by mapping your Somatic Signature — the particular pattern of tension, signal, and compensation that is uniquely yours. From there, we work session by session through release, reorganization, and integration.
By the end of 8 weeks, most clients report: sleeping differently, moving with less bracing, making decisions from a quieter internal state, and feeling — for the first time in years — like they're actually inhabiting their body.

The Practitioner
Phillip Schlachter (Obi)
I've spent over two decades working in youth-serving settings — residential, outreach, leadership — holding space for people whose bodies had absorbed what their circumstances never gave them permission to process. I hold an MA in Counseling/Psychology and a CDAC I credential.
Seeded Somatics grew from the intersection of that clinical background, two decades of land-based observation through my landscaping and stewardship work, and my own long arc of learning to live in my body rather than around it.
I work with people who are done with surface-level solutions. I'm not interested in helping you manage your symptoms. I'm interested in helping you reorganize at the level where the symptoms originate.
