aly vida is
Positive growth.
Aly is a psychosomatic therapist whose work bridges psychology, bodywork, somatic practices, art, and body politics through a feminist, humanist, and decolonial lens. With degrees in Psychology and Massage Therapy, a background in the arts, and ongoing training in Clinical Sexology, she offers a grounded yet expansive approach to healing centered on bodily autonomy and lived experience.
Her practice draws on manual therapies—including fascial and visceral
techniques—alongside years of movement training in dance, theater, acrobatics, and physical performance. These disciplines shape her understanding of the body as an expressive, intelligent system that holds memory, pleasure, pain, and the potential for transformation.
Aly supports people in reconnecting with their bodies as trustworthy guides. Her work invites exploration of identity, intimacy, and connection outside of rigid frameworks, with a focus on those whose experiences have been marginalized or shaped by systems of control. At the core of her approach is the belief that reclaiming bodily autonomy through somatic attunement opens pathways to personal and collective liberation.
Born in the Pacific Northwest, Aly developed her skills as both an artist and a manual therapist. After navigating her own journey of recovery from trauma—physical, emotional, ancestral, and beyond—she completed her massage therapy training at East West College of the Healing Arts in Portland, Oregon, and earned her degree in Psychology from Oregon State University. She additionally spend two years studying performative arts at l’École de Cirque de Montréal and l’École de Cirque de Québec.
Aly is currently completing her training in Clinical Sexology at the Instituto Superior de Estudios Psicológicos (ISEP). She offers workshops, collaborative events, and individual and couples sessions that integrate somatic education, psychosomatic therapy, and body-based learning in inclusive, supportive environments.
Her path has led her through diverse communities across North and Central America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. She is currently based in Barcelona and travels often to Puerto Rico and Oregon, where her roots remain strongest.
Through Soma Liberation, her social project, Aly also brings accessible tools to diverse communities—supporting nervous system regulation, embodied empowerment, and collective care. Whether in private sessions or community workshops, her work helps people reconnect with their bodies, their stories, and their capacity for aliveness.

Reconnect with your body and explore somatic healing rooted in touch, psychology, and ancestral wisdom.
Soma Liberation is a social project dedicated to bringing foundational somatic tools and knowledge to individuals and communities. We help participants attune to their unique nervous system needs, develop personalized somatic practices, and cultivate skills.
Our mission is to empower individuals by supporting the release of physical and neurological imprints of our on-going experiences and allow us to process new information day to day. Through this practice, we foster bodily autonomy, self-exploration, and lasting empowerment through which can facilitate a deep reconnection with both the body and its environment.
This practice is rooted in psychology, manual therapies, spiritual reconnection, and decolonial somatics. Drawing from psychosomatic therapy, trauma-informed care, and reconnecting to ancestral knowledge systems which brings us closer to ourselves and our communities.
Soma Liberation honors the body as a site of memory, resistance, and transformation. We recognize the impact of systemic oppression on the nervous system and center practices that support liberation on both individual and collective levels. Through this work, we invite people into spaces where healing, integration, and reconnection with the soul can occur
