Welcome to Dancing-Tree Somatic Energy Healing.

Dancing-Tree offers somatic energy healing and practical wisdom so you can discover what you need to turn a dead end into a doorway in your life.

There is a space between feeling like you’re repeatedly hitting a wall regarding an overwhelming fear, relationship or aspect of work and finding a meaningful way forward.

That space between is called the unknown.

How do you enter the unknown and find your unique creative potential so you can level up in life, business and leadership?

Practice.

What’s a key?

Following energy.

Hi, I’m Staci Boden, guide, facilitator, coach, teacher and founder of Dancing-Tree.

Today, I teach people who are doing their inner work and living intentionally — learners, growers, change makers — to follow energy as a way to embody their unique creative potential in work, life and leadership.

For individuals looking for personal development, I combine meaningful conversation with paradigm shifting tools and somatic energy healing practices like guided imagery and dance ceremony to facilitate empowerment. I also support couples.

For entrepreneurs, executives, coaches, therapists and space holders, I offer a four month leadership program called Following Energy for Change Makers for embodying creative power as a way to level up in work and life .

For over 25 years. I’ve been aware that core transformation includes the mind but depends on connecting with your body and the energy that lives inside.

And so if you’re looking for traditional talk therapy, I’m not your person.

Instead, I offer energy healing and somatic practices for individuals and groups to become leaders in their own lives.

Across all mediums, my not-so-secret special healing sauce is love. Fierce love. Gentle love. Practical love. Belly-laughing love. Wise love.

AS OF 2024, COVID AWARE OPTIONS INCLUDE IN-PERSON, SOCIALLY DISTANT OUTSIDE AND/OR VIRTUAL SESSIONS. INQUIRE DIRECTLY.

My promise to you:

  • If fear or exhaustion is keeping you stuck, I’ll stay by your side as you learn to let go.

  • I’ll hold the faith when you don’t believe in yourself. Especially when you don’t believe in yourself.

  • I’ll be a pillar you can lean into as you grow a truer inner creative power.

  • Whether you’re dancing in a meadow or facing an inferno, I have your back and your heart as you follow the energy of your potential.

Joy. Intuition. Trust. Self-love. I’m here to get behind your magnificence, whatever that means to you.

In fact, I believe you’re already more magnificent than you think.

Your journey begins with a (not so simple) question: what inner quality might help you realize your potential?

  • "I trust Staci completely."

    Mel F.

  • "Individual and group experiences with Staci are gold."

    Carlee A, coach, founder of trauma literacy

  • "Staci Boden has been a steadfast guide for me over the past decade. Her skillful and compassionate insights have influenced my path greatly. She is fierce when it is called for, and a deep listener who nurtures as she teaches. I would not be the woman I am today wthout her support and love."

    Tasha A.

  • "My partner and I had been through three ‘traditional’ couples' therapists in four years by the time we started working with Staci in 2021. Since then, we have experienced a tremendous shift out of our old patterns that were keeping us stuck in familiar conflict loops. We are strong personalities who need to be held by an equally strong, compassionate facilitator. Staci has been that for us, and we are now equipped to support ourselves through conflict, unmediated. Simply-put, Staci helped us not only save our relationship, but also deepen it into the most loving iteration of our partnership yet.”

    Olivia H.

  • "Staci holds a sacred space better than anyone I have ever experienced."

    Greta V.

  • "Staci's presence in my life has been unyielding and profound. With her support, I have been able to navigate living with depression and anxiety, going through major life/work/relationship transitions, and learning to work with the unknown and the unknowable. Staci never ceases to be a source of nurturance, guidance, and deep, deep care."

    Lisa L.

  • "I'm in Michigan, so Staci and I work via Zoom but she may as well be sitting right next to me. If I'm visualizing sitting by the sea, she will, in that exact moment, mention the sea. If an animal friend or spirit guide shows up for me, Staci knows it immediately. She can detect the precise sensations in my body and intuit how to work that energy. It's uncanny. I may never understand how she does this, but I'm just so grateful for her deep, powerful work."

    Liz J.

  • "Staci Boden is a spiritual midwife, holding you in her arms as you deliver yourself from the pain of the past. I will give you this warning: Do not step into this process with Staci unless you are truly prepared to awaken that which has been sleeping, deep inside of you, for far too long."

    Gwen B.

  • "My husband and I found ourselves stuck in some patterns we were having trouble escaping. Working with Staci helped us identify the different ways in which we were effectively communicating and relating, and how we were not. She helped us gain greater understanding of our own energies and how we could create a both-and world."

    Tina S.

  • "The unique earth-based wise-woman energy healing that Staci offers has allowed me to sit with and move through some of the most difficult transitions in my life with awareness and grace. Her sessions are just the right combination of talk (checking-in), energy work and assessment. I always feel seen, held, and lighter afterwards."

    Hannah E.

  • "I started seeing Staci because I felt boxed in and trapped - literally. Staci helped me transform the box and get in touch with aspects of my life that had been long buried. She's provided the space and support to allow those aspects to thrive and flourish, which has helped me grow as a person. I no longer feel trapped and boxed in, my anxiety has diminished, and I've started writing again."

    Carey H.

  • "My beloved and I were fortunate to work with Staci over the course of 2+ years. Her skillful listening and pointed observations helped us to open to changes our relationship needed. The tools and practices along with having a place to talk it out together created a relationship container than holds us today. We would not have made it without her. Thank you, Staci for guiding and loving us."

    Teresa C.

  • "With Staci I've begun a journey into my own truth - one I've been afraid to take for this entire lifetime. But it feels as though she holds my hand and grants me space where I can come to trust my own instincts, intuition, and wisdom. When I'm overwhelmed I can rely on the tools I've found instead of various addictions. Sessions with Staci are the most worthwhile work I've ever done."

    Diana C.

  • "Staci does not lead you into deep places unattended."

    Catherine A.

  • "Staci was a clear, gentle and yet, ever present grounding force that helped me harness my own inner strength to leave an abusive relationship. From there, she's been a touchstone and guide for expanding into my own self-love and self-supportive capacity in its many permutations. I'm so grateful for the depths of Staci's innate wisdom and practical knowledge."

    Jadyn D.

  • “The opportunity to sit with the kind of people who come to Staci’s groups is a particular gift. It’s rare to get to be with the reflection and accountability and presence these folks bring. I’ve not only formed lifelong friendships but Staci’s groups have been a place I’ve wanted to bring some of my closest people. In terms of creating virtual community, Staci’s groups have an alchemy of being in village in a way we don’t get, especially in our leadership lives.”

    Carlee A.

  • "Recently I was struck by the (rather frightening) realization that, without Staci, I may have lived the rest of my life having never experienced the profound insight, awareness and healing this deep sacred work offers. Staci is the real deal. Where other practices I've tried have been more saccharine, her teaching is sweet honey, straight from the bee."

    Jenny B.

  • "I am forever grateful to Staci and her beautiful book, which came into my life at a time when I was spinning in circles. Nothing compares to the loving container she upholds, the deep energy work and her mama bear presence. Thank you Staci for the ongoing space holding and guidance as I step into my heart work. Much love!"

    Sam L.

  • "Staci's loving support and wise guidance helped me through a very challenging phase of my life. She not only helped me to make sense of a painful ending with a friend, she also helped me to 'make medicine' out of it. I feel deeply grateful for Staci's integrative approach, wisdom and loving care."

    Lindsay J.

  • "I joined Following Energy for Change Makers so I could be a better leader at work, but what I also got was how to be a better leader inside myself, and to recognize what I want and need from the leadership of others.”

    Christina, Editorial Director and Head of Creative

  • "Staci's methods helped me see that healing power is not only real, it is within all of us. Sometimes what it takes is learning a few tools and a lot of support."

    Jay J.

  • “I loved the structure and support of the Following Energy for Change Makers program. And the big surprise was the value and depth of the asynchronous mentoring between Staci and I. It became something that was special, deep, and so sweet. It’s like - oh my, just what I needed to hear, delivered from a wise and kind woman, and just for me!?! I had no idea; what a revelation - I loved it!”

    Julia, psychotherapist

  • “The one-to-one asynchronous mentoring in Following Energy for Changes Makers was outstanding. I couldn't believe I could just leave as many voice messages as I wanted, and I'd always get a response. Staci would send a message or a picture or a video of the ocean because she knew that it calms me. It's like, what? I don't know how she had the capacity to extend that much care on an individual level. That was something I've looked for and not found in other one-to-one dynamics, and it was such a gift, really healing, and tremendously valuable.”

    Christina, Editorial Director and Head of Creative
