Samalie Rivera — Somatic Coaching in Wallingford, CT

About Samalie

Samalie Rivera is a somatic coach, board-certified health and wellness nurse coach, and yin yoga teacher who supports high-achieving women with ADHD who are tired of running on adrenaline. Her work is designed for women who look successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, dysregulated, and cut off from themselves underneath it all.

Drawing from her background in psychiatric nursing and her own lived experience, Samalie helps clients understand their nervous systems with more compassion and less shame. She focuses on practical, body-based support that can help clients slow down, rebuild safety, and stop treating their bodies like something to push past.

Her approach blends clinical awareness with embodied tools such as somatic coaching, breathwork, yin yoga, movement, and optional intuitive frameworks like chakras and tarot. The work is tailored, consent-based, and grounded in helping each client find a steadier, more sustainable way to live and lead.
