Erin Murray

Hi, I’m Erin and I’m the founder and massage therapist behind SOMA Holistics in Tyler. I created this mobile experience to help my clients slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and feel supported with intentional, therapeutic bodywork. My goal is simple - for each client to leave my table feeling lighter, more grounded, more aware and attuned to themselves.

When I'm not massaging, you can find me hanging out with my dog, Bogi, playing the piano and ukulele, kayaking or simply recharging in nature. Spending time outdoors however I can has done wonders for my own nervous system regulation and healing process.

I’ve been practicing professionally for 3 years now and in addition to my foundational training, I hold certification for Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy. This training allows me to better support my clients on their journey to emotional and physical well-being with a more holistic and trauma-informed approach. My clients value holistic healing, nervous system support, relaxation, recovery and balance. My clients also appreciate a sense of coming home to their bodies, and I’m here to meet them exactly where they are in that process. It is my intention to provide a space where my clients can feel safe, seen, supported and never judged - so that they can fully relax into the massage experience.

Intuitive approach

My style of massage focuses solely on nervous system support. I don’t like to assume that I will absolutley regulate anyones nervous systems, but the pace, pressure and intention of each session is tailored to meet you where your mind and body are. This allows you to soften your guard, settle in, and be fully present throughout your massage. Our bodies sometimes work overtime to protect us, which can turn into tension. If your nervous system is disregulated, it may be harder to allow yourself rest. My approach helps you to listen to your body, allowing you to fully relax, unwind and receive. After all, awareness is where healing begins.

Exhale

Every session incorporates multiple modalities, including Swedish, somatic & craniosacral undertones and breathwork. By integrating combined techniques, this allows your nervous system permission to reset and leave you with a sense of exhaling - like the weight has finally been lifted. I believe that lasting relief comes from understanding your body and its cues, not overpowering them.

If this sounds like something you’ve been seeking, let’s chat and see if we can get you on my schedule today!

**Due to the nature of some sessions, emotional release may occur, although, not everyone will experience this. While not mandatory, it is recommended to work in conjunction with a counselor if needed. I am happy to offer some trusted resources in the Tyler area.
