We Aim to Break Shame.

About

Soma•Vida was born from a holy calling—one that emerged not from ambition, but from encounter.

After a long and arduous “soul-molding wilderness season” involving deep prayer, seeking, and listening to the Lord, He gently and unmistakably drew my attention to Tamar (2 Samuel 13). Her name surfaced in my spirit again and again—not as a story of shame, but as a divine summons. Tamar is one of Scripture’s most silenced women. Violated, dismissed, and sent away, she was left to carry a grief that was never hers to bear.

Yet God did not forget her.

In that moment, I understood the call clearly:
“You are to serve the Tamars of today.”

Soma•Vida exists to restore what trauma, abuse, betrayal, and silencing have tried to steal—dignity, voice, and hope. We minister to women who have been spiritually wounded, emotionally fragmented, or burdened by shame that was never theirs. Women who love God, yet carry unspoken grief in their bodies, stories, and souls.

Through our exclusive Ahavah Care™ Christ-centered inner healing prayer, somatic awareness, and trauma-informed care, Soma•Vida creates sacred space for the Holy Spirit to bring restoration that reaches beyond words—into the nervous system, the heart, and the spirit. This is not behavior modification. This is not surface healing.

This is redemption made embodied.

Our mission is not only personal restoration, but generational freedom—so daughters and sons may walk in blessing rather than inherited silence, shame, or curse. We believe that when God restores one woman’s voice, He alters the spiritual inheritance of those who follow her.

Tamar tore her robe in grief.
Christ clothes us in righteousness.

Soma•Vida stands in that redemptive exchange—bearing witness to the truth that what was violated can be healed, what was silenced can speak again, and what was marked by sorrow can become a testimony of life in Jesus Christ.

  • The following is our Statement of Faith,The Nicene Creed through a Soma•Vida lens:

    • Incarnation • Attachment • Shalom

      This Creed is not merely doctrinal—it is deeply somatic, and an invitation to Prayer that somatically grounds us, making it easier to connect with the Holy Spirit.

      I trust in one God—
      a loving Father,
      strong enough to hold all things,
      gentle enough to see me.

      God created what I can and cannot see and what I can and cannot yet name—
      my body, my breath, my story, my becoming, my future.

      I trust in Jesus Christ,
      God’s beloved Son—
      not distant, not harsh,
      but pure and Holy Light who comes close.

      Through Him, love took on flesh.
      God entered a human body,
      knowing temptation, hunger, sorrow, touch, betrayal, joy, loss, and pain.

      For our healing and freedom,
      He did not remain above suffering—
      He entered into it.

      He endured violence without becoming violent.
      He passed through death
      without surrendering to despair.

      And on the third day,
      He rose again      —
      not erased, but transformed.

      Jesus now reigns
      not as an oppressor,
      but as a wounded and restored Healer, reconciling what was broken.

      His Kingdom is not ending,
      is not fragile,
      is not taken away.

      I trust in the Holy Spirit—
      The Breath of God, still moving,
      still comforting, still telling the truth with kindness.

      The Spirit gives life to weary places,
      speaks when words are hard,
      and remains with me
      even when memory feels unsafe.

      I belong to a Church-the Body of Christ- that is meant to heal, not harm;
      to welcome, not silence;
      to witness love embodied in community.

      I receive forgiveness
      as restoration, not humiliation.

      I trust that death is not the end of my story,
      and that life—
      real, whole, resurrected life—
      awaits.

      Let it be so—in my body, my heart, my spirit.

      Amen.

  • At Soma•Vida Ministry, we believe healing is relational, embodied, and Holy Spirit-led. Our work is shaped by Scripture, informed by science, and grounded in compassion.

    We are guided by these values:

    Christ-Centered Wholeness
    We believe true healing flows from the presence of Jesus Christ—restoring the spirit, renewing the mind, and calming the body. We honor the work of the Holy Spirit as gentle, personal, and never coercive.

    Trauma-Safe Care
    We recognize the impact of trauma on the nervous system, identity, and faith. Our ministry prioritizes emotional safety, consent, pacing, and choice.

    Embodied Healing
    We affirm that the body is not an obstacle to spirituality, but a sacred partner in healing. Breath, awareness, movement, and rest are honored as God-designed pathways to restoration.

    Humility & Dependence on God
    We do not claim to heal—God does. We hold space, listen prayerfully, and follow His leading with reverence and restraint.

    Integrity & Stewardship
    We serve with honesty, accountability, and respect for professional boundaries, referring to licensed professionals whenever care exceeds our scope.

  • Our Ethical Commitments

    Soma•Vida Ministry is committed to ethical, responsible, and faith-aligned care.

    • We honor clear scope of practice and do not present ourselves as licensed mental health providers.

    • We obtain informed consent, respecting each participant’s autonomy, readiness, and pace.

    • We practice non-coercive prayer—never pressuring repentance, forgiveness, disclosure, or emotional expression.

    • We maintain confidentiality, with the exception of situations involving harm, abuse, or legal reporting obligations.

    • We recognize when additional support is needed and refer to licensed counselors, medical providers, or emergency services when appropriate.

    Our ethical framework reflects both Biblical wisdom and contemporary trauma-informed standards of care.

  • We never sacrifice regulation for revelation.
    We never prioritize technique over presence.
    We never rush what God is restoring gently.

    In Soma•Vida prayer and coaching sessions, we prioritize safety, relationship, and the presence of Jesus Christ through the anointing of the Holy Spirit above all else. Rather than searching for problems, we invite God to gently reveal what He wants to heal—at a pace your heart and body can receive. Healing unfolds through encounter, not effort, restoring peace, connection, and wholeness.
