Healing through Presence.
rooted in practice.
Grounded in You.
At Soulful Soma, healing starts with how you relate to your body, your breath, your nervous system, your history, and your right to rest.
The mission
Soulful Soma is a space for rest, reconnection, and renewal—created by and for Black, queer, and system-impacted communities, and open to anyone seeking healing on their own terms. This is a practice grounded in body-based care: a return to your body, your breath, and the steady wisdom beneath survival.
I offer nervous system–centered sessions that invite slowing down, noticing your body, and restoring a sense of choice. These practices aren’t about fixing. They’re about meeting yourself with care and curiosity.
Each session is shaped to support what the body carries—to soften tension, rebuild trust, notice patterns, and shift out of urgency. Through breath, sound, Conversation, Processing, movement, and moments of pause, we explore what safety and clarity can feel like. Whether you're new to this work or remembering your way back, you're welcome to arrive just as you are.
Yoga and meditation are part of the practice—rooted in Hatha and Tantric traditions, and always offered as a support, not a standard. I hold yoga philosophy not as distant ideals, but as everyday anchors: breath, values, rhythm, and reflection that guide us back to what matters.
At Soulful Soma, I honor the fullness of your experience. You don’t have to earn your rest. You don’t have to dim your light. You get to take up space, trust your timing, and remember what care feels like—deep in your body.
Somatic awareness
Somatic awareness is the practice of noticing what’s happening in your body—without needing to fix, perform, or push it away. In our work together, we slow things down so you can start to feel what your body is already holding: tension, truth, memory, survival. I guide you through breath, sensation, and gentle movement to help you recognize patterns, access choice, and return to yourself. This isn’t about doing it right—it’s about learning to listen and respond with care.
Co-REgulation
Co-regulation is the practice of settling the nervous system through connection. In session, we work with simple, body-based exercises—like hand-to-chest touch or standing support—to help your body feel what it’s like to be held without having to collapse or guard. This practice helps recognize how your system responds when it doesn’t have to hold everything alone. Through breath, posture, and presence, we create a shared rhythm that can soften stress, build trust, and make space for new ways of relating—to others and to yourself.
Nervous System Support
Nervous System Support is a body-based practice that uses light, intentional touch and close observation to support physiological regulation and internal awareness. While you lie fully clothed on a supportive table, I offer contact at specific areas—such as the chest, shoulders, head, or abdomen—to engage with the body’s natural responses. Throughout the session, I track shifts in breath, muscle tone, movement patterns, and temperature to understand how your system is processing input and organizing around safety. Many of these responses reflect adaptations developed under chronic stress or internalized pressure. By providing consistent, non-intrusive support, we offer the nervous system an opportunity to reorganize—restoring pathways of connection, presence, and capacity at a pace that honors the body’s current state

About the Founder
I’m Franky Morales‑Addae (he/him), and I guide this work as someone who had to learn how to feel safe in his body again.
Soulful Soma grew from that return—after years of bracing, I needed to soften into presence, and learn how to hold joy without fear of losing it.
My work is shaped by lineage—not just training. Soulful Soma carries the threads of the identities and experiences I move through: Black, queer, Xicanx, system-impacted. It’s rooted in relationship that doesn’t ask people to explain their pain to be met with care.
In my sessions, I draw from yoga, meditation, somatic inquiry, and nervous system restoration. But this isn’t about techniques—It’s about attunement. We move with what’s present, without force or urgency—at the pace your body allows
This practice was created especially with Black queer men in mind, and welcomes anyone seeking a more honest, grounded connection to their body. Whether you’re carrying grief, in the midst of change, or simply learning how to listen again—you’re welcome here.
Soulful Soma is a practice ground—where breath, memory, and movement come together to tell the truth of what the body carries. It's not about fixing. It's about making room for what’s been held, and learning to tend to it gently so we can begin to tell ourselves a new story of living and rebuild trust in your own rhythms.
