Nope! We're Not Monogamous

Send us a text

This week I am talking with relationship anarchist and solo polyamorous person, Isha Vela. Isha and I talk about how they came to understand and embrace non-monogamy as part of their identity, how you can use somatic practices in non-monogamy, and what non-monogamy looks like in different parts of your life.
"When I began loving in that way, it felt very much like coming home. It felt very much like, oh, this has always felt normal to me."
Isha Vela is a trauma psychologist, somatic practitioner and shadow doula supporting individuals and couples of all configurations in deepening intimacy, connection and relationship satisfaction using body wisdom and somatic expressive techniques. Using nervous system awareness and attunement techniques, Isha helps people transform their intimacy wounds into intimacy superpowers.

In addition to relationship work, Isha is a sovereignty coach and the creator of Body Based Business, a way of creating a bespoke business in alignment with your values and nervous system.
💨 TLDR;

• Finding non - monogamy as a structure.
• What is somatic work?
• What relationship anarchy looks like for Isha
• Coming out as non-monogamous.
• What makes a relationship successful
• What it looks like to use somatic practices in your relationship
