C Mellor

Hi there! I'm Dr. Cacky and I have over 15 years of experience facilitating somatics, holistic psychology, and energy medicine, including teaching these subjects to undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students. I draw on all of this experience to meet the unique and evolving needs of those I have the privilege to support in my private practice. 

I have a remote private practice, Somatic Reclamation, where I see clients all over the world supporting trauma healing and integration and fostering greater access to secure attachment in relationship.  It is one of my greatest joys in life to hold space for individuals’ innate healing intelligence and the transformation that can bring! 

In my undergrad, I studied art therapy and holistic psychology at Lesley University. After which I received my Masters of Education in art-based activism and social entrepreneurship from Lesley's Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences.

While teaching in higher ed and deepening my embodied practice, I earned my Ph.D. in Depth Psychology with an emphasis in Somatic Studies at Pacifica Graduate Institute.

I have cultivated a diverse somatic toolkit to support client's on their healing journey. I am a Master Somatic Movement Therapist and Educator, Somatic Experiencing© Practitioner, Dynamic Attachment Repatterning (DARe) trainee, and RYT-500. Additionally, I am an experienced Reiki Master practitioner and have done training in energy work, embodied social justice, EFT, NLP, and somatic attachment therapy. I am also a non-denominational reverend. I draw from my eclectic background to meet each client's unique needs and goals.

My current work is centered around the internalization of language, narrative, and trauma on a somatic level and how it affects interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships. I am deeply passionate about social justice, the arts, intergenerational trauma, and somatics. 

I live in the Boston area with my beloved partner and cat.
