Centering Humanity in Healing Touch: A Conversation with Somaliah Sadiq-Williams

The Student to Therapist Massage Therapy Podcast by David R. Sol & Timur Lokshin

Episode notes

In this episode, David Sol sits down with Somaliah “Soma” Sadiq-Williams—doula, massage therapist, educator, and land steward—to explore how reproductive justice, community care, and elemental bodywork reshape what healing looks like in and beyond the massage classroom. Soma shares her path from home birth to full-spectrum doula work, her sliding-scale accessibility model, and her social justice advocacy with harm reduction centers and incarcerated parents, all while inviting students and therapists to ground their practice in ethics, land, and the simple act of truly seeing and hearing every person on the table.
