Touching the emotions
Hands-on somatic therapies for holistic health
Meet Camilla Griggers, PhD
"I’m a somatic therapist and holistic health educator based in West Los Angeles. My work bridges the gap between body and mind for a more integrative approach to how people learn, adapt and heal. Drawing from deep expertise in both semantic language studies and somatic therapies, I combine psycholinguistics, bodywork and holistic health to address trauma, chronic pain, and emotional blockages that keep people from changing and evolving. Unlike traditional massage or talk therapy, my approach keeps the body actively engaged in the therapeutic conversation. With chronic illnesses on the rise, I also coach clients in developing self-care practices that support lifelong wellbeing—physically, mentally and emotionally.”

What clients are saying about Fast Therapy
Alice D.
Actress
“I was so happy with the results of my first 10-day fast—which included kicking a two-year sleeping pill addiction—when the opportunity to do it again arose, I knew it was time for a follow up. The second round of Fast Therapy was even better, because I saw the cleansing effects all the way past day 10 to day 14. My benefits included mental clarity, better sleep and digestion, weight loss, emotional balance and peace, not to mention more energy and clearer skin. Would I do it a third time? Absolutely!”
Alexcia P.

“Fast Therapy completely shifted my relationship to food, my body and my awareness of self. I realized after 10 days of fasting that I’d been constantly consuming and not really pausing to give myself permission and time to let go. I realized I was addicted to food, to consumption itself. I now honor the process of consuming only what I really need in my Core Self and then releasing waste and negative feelings. Fast Therapy is now part of my life, and I know if I need to emotionally or physically cleanse, it’s easy.”
Mark K.

“Doing Fast Therapy taught me how to detox my colon, liver and gallbladder. And guess what? My back and shoulder pain disappeared. But the next thing I learned was the real game-changer. I was guided to do emotional healing work at the same time. I realized I needed to change how I was in relationship. Like why I wasn’t. That really opened my heart and mind.”

Together we touch the emotions and listen to the wisdom of the mindbody connection.
Environment & chronic illness
The mistaken thinking that our minds are separate from our bodies and from our environment is part of our Enlightenment legacy that contemporary theorists of the brainbody connection call ‘Descartes’ error.’ It is the root cause of our postmodern condition of chronic ill health. Our future wellbeing depends on how fast we can leave this old paradigm behind and embrace a new one that is holistic and integrative, in which mind, body, emotions and our environment are treated as one unity in therapy, medicine, education and public health policy.
Only when we add our environment to the synergy of mind, body and emotions can we make the necessary critical adjustment in our thinking about healthcare and in behaviors around self-care that will enable us to respond in an adaptive way to the age of environmental toxicity that we created, and that only we together can heal.
