MISSION

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

  • "Thank you so much for the wonderful Trauma Informed Care workshop. It was so supportive and thoughtfully crafted and presented, what a gift. The tools and perspectives shared will be so helpful to me in my almost-daily mutual aid work, which can be a bit hard on the body and mind. Thank you to you and the team for the wonderful gift you gave all of us attendees. "

    — Former Workshop Participant

  • "The somatic techniques shared in this workshop were some of the most helpful I’ve ever heard, and was grounding and very accessible. In the stress of showing up for community doing mutual aid, these will be very helpful for me to use to tend to my body to repair and recharge my nervous system to do it all again week after week."

  • "Working with Studio Somatics was fantastic. The team not only has a clear and well communicated direction, they encourage participation at every step. As a photographer, I never felt my suggestions were overlooked or overshadowed. Above all else, Laureen is just a fun person to work with and they keep that energy going throughout the whole creative process."

  • "I modeled for the Azaadi collection in January 2025. I was well taken care of the entire time and Laureen was so attentive, caring, kind, and so humble. You can tell that each piece was created with careful intention and quality. Beyond the clothing itself, the brand stands out for its commitment to uplifting and advocating for marginalized communities, which is both rare and deeply meaningful. I genuinely felt seen, respected, and safe working with them. Studio Somatics is something truly unique, and I’m so excited to watch them grow in the years ahead. I have no doubt they’ll continue expanding and making a powerful impact."
