Embodied Pathways ~ emergence & healing
Somatic healing: Somatic healing is a unique and holistic approach that acknowledges the profound connection between the mind and body. We focus on intentionally inviting the body into the therapeutic conversation, recognizing that your body has been a constant companion throughout your life, experiencing and remembering the impact of every moment.
Overwhelming experiences, trauma, and stress can disrupt the communication between mind, body & spirit, leading to a sense of disconnection, or for many, not feeling safe or at home in their body. Somatic healing is pathway to rebuilding and strengthening this connection. We rebuild this connection by expanding our capacity to notice, be with, and tolerate sensations as they arise in the body. In sessions, we adopt a mindful arriving practice to intentionally invite the body into the exploration process. You can think of the body as a sacred archaeological site ~ behind each sensation, a wealth of information to explore and learn from can be unearthed.
I draw my foundation from Somatic Experiencing® (SE), a modality which draws on various tools to gently, and without catharsis or re-traumatization, find the stress patterns in your physiology and psychology to allow naturalistic change and healing to occur. Together we find what tools are most effective and comfortable for the client, including talk, exploration of sensations, images, beliefs, emotions, and movements of the body. With resolution of these past stresses and traumas our physiology and psychology find new equilibrium, a greater sense of emotional and physical well-being, greater tolerance for stressful events with quicker, easier recovery from stress, and more.

“The more one forgets himself - by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love, the more human he is and the more he actualizes himself. What is called self-actualization is not an attainable aim at all, for the simple reason that the more one would strive for it, the more he would miss it. In other words, self-actualization is possible only as a side-effect of self-transcendence.” - Viktor Frankl

Testimonials
“I contacted Clancey at the recommendation of a dear friend. My friend’s concern for me was warranted, as my emotional state was very unsettled. Life and work stresses left me feeling very emotionally overwhelmed or as I described it -broken. Clancey helped to get me feeling healed and strong within myself. She used her innate compassion, insightfulness and knowledge along with her learned teachings, helping me by listening, questioning, guiding and supporting me, comforting me when I needed to grieve. She kept our sessions on track, so I could reach my end goal, to return to work and, more importantly, help me find my sense of self again.
Through one of the most difficult times in my life, I knew she always had my best interest in mind. I recommend Clancey Cornell without hesitation.” - M.
“What can I not say about this amazing human being. Before meeting Clancey I had been stuck in cycles that I was not aware of and or clear on. I kept trying and trying to overcome my anxieties but they only got worse. It was me vs me. Then Clancey came along and helped me understand myself from the inside out. With her guidance I’ve been able to hold myself accountable with my goals in life as well as understand why these cycles held me back. Being able to name the problems and find my truth has helped me become so much better in all I do. Clancey is a gem and I am so blessed to have her in my life.” — B.
“Clancey is an absolute gem! From guiding me to identify and integrate alternate approaches to spinal fusion surgery, to navigating deeply emotional family upheavals, to helping me retire from 20 years of public school teaching, Clancey has been my anchor, my bedrock, my touchstone in an extremely turbulent year. I am so grateful for her showing me how to align my life with my identified core values. A year ago, I could never have imagined myself retired! By breaking large goals into actionable steps, Clancey is helping me realize my dreams.
The opening quote on Clancey’s website captures the key to her ability to connect with her clients. “…your liberation is bound up with mine.” This humble starting place forms the foundation of a shared container of mutual trust, interest, and focus. As a result, working with Clancey is extraordinarily healing and productive. Clancey’s presence feels like meditation. After working with her steadily this past year, I feel I can access Clancey’s mindset. She pops up in my mind, as needed, to give a nudge of guidance in difficult situations. “What would Clancey do?” has become a repeating refrain!
I love how Clancey artfully navigates the delicate balance between empathetic listening and active coaching. She reflects back as she listens, circling around to illuminate a key comment or reference. I’m awed at how, during this reflective process, Clancey will casually toss in an alternate narrative to go with my default line of reasoning. What a beautiful and graceful way to help someone without them feeling helped! The sign of a true Master. —— M.
“Clancey is a highly intuitive and talented healer. I’ve been Clancey’s client for 2 and a half years and I’m so grateful to have found someone who can be an empathetic listener while also challenging my perspectives in a graceful and warm way. Clancey has helped me move through some of the darkest periods of my life with her light, and her encouragement has helped me align my lifestyle choices in the best ways possible. Thank you Clancey for your support!” - N.
“Bottom line, my sessions with Clancey really help me. She makes me feel heard but also helps me craft action plans with clear next steps that make me feel capable and ready. She is amazing at providing you with the tools you need. I’ve had my fair share of therapy and therapists and this is the first time like I feel I am making progress and taking steps in the right direction. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s absolutely the best I have ever had!”—— M.
I have been speaking to Clancey for almost three years and she has been an amazing guide through these difficult times. She has given me new and positive tools to control and eventually put my anxieties behind me. ——T.
“Clancey is one of the most brilliant people I have ever met. Her motivational support has been essential to me for many years, and I always walk away from our conversations with clarity and conviction to create. She gracefully integrates passion and productivity, holding grand visions while breaking them down into real, actionable steps. Her wizard-like capacity for cutting away physical and mental clutter has empowered me to move through the most daunting tasks I've faced. Clancey is an invaluable ally to anyone wise enough to seek her guidance.” —— C.
