Somatic + Sound
Join us for a deeply nourishing somatic yoga and sound experience designed to support nervous system regulation, embodiment, and inner restoration on the sacred date of 2.22.
The first half of this journey is guided by Elaina with somatic yoga movement.
In the second half, participants will be guided into stillness and rest while being immersed in reiki infused sounds.
This magical collaboration weaves movement and sound from expression to surrender. Come as you are, ready to soften, feel, and receive.
Facilitator Bio’s:
Elaina Wagner is the founder of EIR Integrative, located in New Gloucester, Maine. Her practice offers a whole-bodied approach rooted in somatic healing, nutritional support, nervous system restoration, and embodied presence. Elaina is a clinically trained licensed massage therapist with over a decade of hands-on experience, a somatic yoga teacher with a Hatha background spanning more than 20 years, and a certified integrative nutrition guide supporting women navigating neurological conditions and chronic symptoms.
Elaina’s offerings speak to empaths, sensitive souls, caretakers, trauma survivors, creatives, mothers, and those that crave to reconnect with their femininity—a state of being rather than doing. Her work is empowering, soft, honest, and deeply connective.
Through somatic yoga, Elaina invites participants to step onto the mat, out of the mind, and into the body. From there, she guides an ethereal sensual sensory journey—touching, wiggling, and stretching each part until a greater sense of safety, presence, and resilience can emerge. At Somatic & Sound, you are invited to sip on the sweetness of your own temple, to receive and remember, her.
Lauren Nielson (Aloisio) is a Registered Nurse, Reiki Master Teacher, and sound healing practitioner based in York, Maine. With over 15 years of experience in healthcare and more than a decade in holistic wellness, Lauren bridges science and spirituality through integrative, nervous-system-informed healing practices.
Her work incorporates a wide array of sound tools and Reiki to support deep rest, emotional regulation, and energetic balance. Grounded in both clinical knowledge and intuitive awareness, Lauren creates safe, compassionate spaces where participants can downshift from stress, reconnect with their bodies, and access a deeper sense of inner harmony.
Lauren leads sound journeys, Reiki and sound trainings, and wellness retreats throughout New England, offering experiences that honor both the physical body and the subtle layers of healing.
Tea and Sound Ceremony: a sacred sensory immersion for deep restoration
Join Lauren + Meggie for a sacred winter journey with tea and sound, created to support slowing down, deep rest, and nervous system nourishment during the quieter season of the year.
We will begin with a grounding tea ceremony, inviting you to step out of the pace of daily life and arrive fully in the present moment. As the tea is prepared and shared, you are encouraged to attune to your senses and notice what arises within you. The tea will be thoughtfully selected to align with the winter season, time of day, and the shared intention of our gathering. This portion of the experience is gentle, reflective, and rooted in earth-based ritual.
From there, you will soften into an immersive sound journey. While resting comfortably, layers of sound and vibration wash through the body, supporting relaxation, sensory awareness, and nervous system regulation. Sound is received through the ears, skin, and deeper layers of the body, inviting the system to release tension and gently return toward balance and restoration.
This experience is designed to be receptive and spacious. There is nothing to do, fix, or achieve. Simply come as you are and allow yourself to receive.
Please bring anything that helps you feel warm, comfortable, and at ease while lying down, such as cozy layers or socks, a blanket or pillow, water, and a journal if you wish.
This experience is well suited for you if you:
Are feeling stressed, overstimulated, or fatigued
Crave deep rest, stillness, and a slower pace
Enjoy ritual, sensory experiences, or contemplative practices
Are curious about sound meditation or tea ceremony, whether new or experienced\
Want gentle nervous system support without needing to talk, process, or perform
