TRUSTED BY
Somatic Installation™ & Somatic Entrainment™
Somatic Installation™ is a body-based method developed by Elena Khazanova, LCPC, that transforms fleeting moments of positivity—what Deb Dana named “glimmers”—into lasting traits. Rooted in Positive Neuroplasticity and informed by somatics, InterPlay, and energy psychology, this process helps participants Prolong, Amplify, and Absorb beneficial states. It allows the nervous system to gradually shift its default toward safety, satisfaction, and connection.
SOMATIC INSTALLATION™
Somatic Entrainment™ expands this work into the relational and collective field. Using breath, movement, sound, storytelling, and focused attention, groups co-create an energetic and neurological “resonance field.” This field supports each person’s healing and growth, and serves as a model for how communities can co-regulate, evolve, and thrive together. It is based in Interpersonal Neurobiology, somatic wisdom, and a vision for collective nervous system uplift.
