Morgan Tyner was once a burned out entrepreneur. She hustled, never fully stopped and never gave her body space to process. “It was scary and painful,” shares Tyner. “I had no idea how disassociated from my body I’d become. I suppressed the sensations and emotions.”

Tyner came across a reel posted by a mentor and remembers feeling peace and joy as her mentor helped a client gain permission to feel, reconnect and process. “Witnessing this experience of ‘space holding’ lit me up inside,” says Tyner. Her curiosity was piqued for SomatIQ Breathwork.

“SomatIQ Breathwork liberates people from the stress and overwhelm that lies unprocessed in our body so that we become free in our mind,” says Tyner, currently the only certified SomatIQ Breathwork practitioner in Alabama and Mississippi. “It’s an embodiment experience that takes you out of your thinking mind and into your body’s electrical network that truly gives you back the power and reminds your body that breathing is a natural tool for self-regulation to maintain a state of calm and self-awareness.”

The practitioner in SomatIQ is not a healer, but a mirror providing space and guidance for individuals to be empowered, to let go, to see the capacity at which one can love, respect and show up for oneself and then for others.

“It’s an opportunity to heal, serve one another and give someone permission to take up space,” says Tyner. “The gift of the breath that God has given us amazes me.”
