Emma Sartwell

Emma Sartwell, MDiv, SEP, CYT, is a meditation instructor, nervous system specialist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, interfaith chaplain, educator, and founder of Somatic Spiritual Counseling. Her guided meditations and body-based practices help people notice bodily sensations, practice nervous system regulation, and respond to stress with more choice. Emma’s work brings together somatic therapy, trauma integration, mindfulness, parts work, transpersonal psychology, and spiritual emergency counseling. She often works with people who understand their patterns intellectually but still feel stuck in anxiety, depression, trauma responses, relationship pain, or spiritual experiences that feel confusing or destabilizing. Her approach includes the body, mind, relationships, spirituality, and the natural world without asking anyone to adopt a particular belief system. Emma earned her Master of Divinity from Naropa University, where she has served as an adjunct professor and meditation instructor. Through Somatic Spiritual Counseling, she offers individual counseling and coaching, workshops, classes, and practices in meditation, breathwork, and yoga.
