Spenta found the possibility of transformation through Somatics in 2005 when she began studying with Staci K. Haines. A few years later, they began to build generative somatics, an organization dedicated to delivering relevant, powerful Somatics to social justice leaders, organizers, and members. Spenta studies and teaches with both SI and gs. In addition to her somatic work, Spenta is a licensed acupuncturist who likes exploring how acupuncture can support healing from trauma, and how herbal medicine can be an effective agent in working with chronic illness. She is grateful for many things including freedom fighters, water, and dogs.
